Power Curbers will roll out the next generation of its most popular curb and gutter concrete slipform paver in January, with an eye toward making it easier for contractors to go to stringless 3D paving.
The new Power Curber 5700-D, which replaces the 5700-C, will come ready to be quickly connected to any of the three major aftermarket players in 3D stringless systems: Leica, Topcon and Trimble. The paver will do this through the company’s new SlipSmart controls, which are designed for simplicity and precision and interface with the aftermarket 3D systems.
Contractors who aren’t ready to cut the string need not fear. The 5700-D is “primarily designed to work with stringline,” says marketing coordinator Daniel Milam.
The company is making the 3D stringless an easier alternative, offering contractors as much choice as possible for choosing an aftermarket system.
The 5700-D, like its predecessor, can operate in tight spots, including parking lot corners, islands and cul-de-sacs. It can also do barrier, sidewalk and irrigation ditch work and similar slipform paving tasks. The new model remains compact and simple and is designed for easy operation, productivity and versatility, the company says.
