GOMACO unveils first electric slipform curb paver
GOMACO showed the world the first battery-powered curb and gutter slipform paver at World of Concrete 2022 in Las Vegas.
The prototype CC-1200e is still being tested, and after the show, it traveled to Tennessee for about three weeks of paving tests, according to Mark Brenner, GOMACO manager of controls engineering. It runs on a 48-volt, direct-current lithium-ion battery pack. The motor can run as high as 2,500 rpm. It can drop down to 500 or 1,000 rpm when high flow isn’t needed.
In contrast to its diesel counterpart, the CC-1200e produces no noise or emissions and reduces vibrations, the company says. It has two different types of charging systems. The slower charger, say for overnight charging, takes six to eight hours to get from 20 per cent to 100 per cent charged.
The machine operates by full wireless remote control. The G+ handheld panel governs all machine functions, such as travel, manual three-point grade control, cross auger directional controls, vibrator control dial, warning lights and emergency stop.
