Standard Equipment Review

Cast Auger Conveyor

--- Speeds up pours!

--- Fully enclosed

--- Moves concrete faster and keeps the machine cleaner

--- Holds enough concrete to complete a tight radius, without delays caused by repositioning the ready-mix truck

--- Constantly mixes concrete. The separation of the mix caused by belt conveyors is eliminated, resulting in a strong, smooth curb

--- Eliminates frequent replacement of belt conveyor

--- For transport, the auger shifts to the front

Customer Comment: “We fill up the auger and the slide the machine to transport mode to get to those tight spots.” --- Chad Gordon, Pember Excavating, Menomonie, WI

Customer Comment: “The auger is a better way to deliver the mix to the hopper. I remember a lot of headaches with the belt. --- Lewis Robertson, Robertson Grading Inc., Evans, GA

Customer Comment: "The best thing is the auger. We save about 8 minutes on a truck. You multiply that out and realize we can do much more work in a day." --- Ron Lamontagne, Ciments Lavallee Ltd., Laval, QC

Carbide Tooth Trimmer

--- Cuts through the hardest subgrade, speeding production

--- Long wear

Customer Comment: “We had problems trimming and pouring at the same time” with a competitive machine. The machine just didn’t have the hydraulic power. Now, (with the Power Curber), if it’s within 1, 2 or 3 inches (25mm, 50mm, 75mm), I don’t have to pre-trim. It saves fuel and time.” --- William Irving, Virginia Site Concepts, Richmond, VA

Customer Comment: “With higher sub-grade, you don’t have to worry. That trimmer is going to trim right through it.” --- Troy Reighter, Cougar Contracting Specialities, Ft. Myers, FL

Hydraulic Adjustable Offset

While the 5700-C stays on the line, the mold offset can be hydraulically adjusted to 16" (40.6 cm) vertically and 24" (61 cm) horizontally for reconstruction work or pouring around catch basins, speeding production

Customer Comment: “Offsetting the mold saves a lot of time with rehab.” --- Tim Adleta, Adleta Construction, Lockland, OH

Customer Comment: "In the downtown area, there are a lot of obstacles. Every road is done differently. The versatility of the machine, especially the hydraulics (shifting vertically and horizontally) is what attracted me to the machine." ---John Sansalone, Domti Engineering & Construction, Bolton, Ontario

High Pressure Washer

With water pressure of 2000 psi and an 88-gallon (333 liters) tank, there is plenty of water and water pressure for clean-up at the end of the day.

Customer Comment: "That wash-down saves the operator a lot of time." --- Bruno Rocca, Cross Can Construction, Ltd., Woodbridge, Ontario

Engine

--- 4-cylinder/4-stroke, low vibration, Cummins qSB4.5-130c diesel, turbo, cA, Tier III

--- 130 hp @ 2200 rpm (97 kW)

Customer Comment: The horsepower is an advantage with monolithic curb, gutter and sidewalk. "With the other machine, we were maxed out. This one's got the horsepowe to do anything we want to do." --- Dan Hite, Doug McCoy Construction, Twin Falls, Idaho

Customer Comment: "It has get-up-and-go and we can get an extra 1,500 to 2,000 feet a day. Once everything is set up and going, I can run faster with the Power curber than (the competition). When everything is going good, I can empty the truck out in 8 to 10 minutes and never stop the machine. That's where we get our footage." --- Rodney Suggs, Deco, Rogers, Arkansas

Customer Comment: "The engine's quiet enough (that you can) talk on your cell phone while running the machine. You can't keep everybody moving, if you can't communicate." --- Eddie Campbell, Campbell's Concrete, Floyds Knob, IN

Customer Comment: "The Cummins engine is easier to get parts and service. The Power Curber is as good as it gets. It's just a better design." --- Chris Handy, Custom Curb and Edging, Arlington, TN

Smart Amp Controls ®

--- The simplicity of an analog system with the features of a digital system

--- Advanced features such as diagnostics and dead-band, which tells the sensor to ignore small movements and settles the machine down. These features offer greater flexibility for sensor adjustment.

--- A good choice for a company that has multiple operators, some of whom prefer advanced systems and others who choose to run the machine with just two switches.

--- The operator can look at screens on the panel and determine if there is a cord problem, a sensor problem, or an amplifier problem. He can then adjust quickly before a problem occurs in the curb.

--- for ease of maintenance, the Smart Amps® can be interchanged for quick problem solving.

Single-Lane Pour Capability

--- Concrete truck is directly in front of the machine, resulting in quick, safe pours in single traffic lanes, or tight spots in parking lots

Customer Comment: AJO Concrete Construction sees a major improvement with the 5700-C, since the crew works in high-traffic areas on state highways in Baltimore City, MD. The swivel chute allows the machine to be fed from the front, instead of the side. "It's safer," says Tony Oliveira, " a real big improvement. In some areas, you wouldn't be able to take the machine in (without this). Loading from the front really impressed me."

Optional Equipment

Quick Connect Mold Mount System

This option allows molds to be changed hydraulically in only a few minutes without heavy hand work. This saves as much as 30 minutes or more per mold change.

Customer Comment: The curb crew at Wilson Brothers Construction of Honea Path, SC, changes molds sometimes two times a day and at least two to three times a week. "I can't believe I ever owned a machine without this Quick Connect," says Bryan Lusk of Wilson Brothers.

Customer Comment: "The Quick Connect has really been a time saver." --- E.B. Webb, S.T. Wooten, Wilson, NC

Customer Comment: "We can change the mold on the Power Curber quickly. (The competitor's) machine took two men about two hours to set up for a different pour." --- Andy Foster, APAC, Asheville, NC

Customer Comment: "Whoever came up with the Quick Connect is a genius. It's so easy. I wouldn't buy a mahine without the Quick Connect we change the mold out in 5 minutes it's such a bummer changing molds the old way Everybody is waiting on you." --- Ernie Meritt, Concrete Express, Denver, CO

Hydraulic Front-Grade Sensor Control

Our optional Hydraulic Front-Grade Sensor Control allows the sensor to stay on line in a radius as tight as 7' (2.1m) without a crew member's assistance. Two versions of the kit -- an operator ontrolled cylinder and a fully automatic cylinder -- are available.

The Operator Controlled Front-Grade Sensor Option allows the operator to hydraulically guide the sensor in and out by using a switch.

The Fully Automatic Front-Grade Sensor Option uses an additional sensor mounted at the grade sensor that directs the sensor in and out through a radius. This eliminates the need for the machine operator to keep his eye on the stringline while turning radii.

Digital Network Control System

--- Operator has more control when changing the curb-and-gutter cross-slope on the fly

--- More production!

--- Slope Compensation (Patented)

--- Crew does not have to manually lower steering sensor jacks or raise stringline height in order to keep the curb from being off from 1 to 2 inches (25 to 50 mm) because of machine movement

--- Machine automatically makes the correction for elevation

--- Maintains true top-of-curb and back-of-curb reference to the stringline without manual adjustments to the grade and steering sensor jacks during transition, or calculating this amount of change in elevation and alignment, saving time

Customer Comment: "Before, it took two men, plus me, to do a transition from holding curb to spilling. One had to adjust each sensor and another man was dialing to change the pitch on the machine. The micro automatically recalibrates the sensor. Now, I an do it alone from the operator's platform." --- Bryan Lusk, Wilson Brothers Construction, Honea Path, SC

Post Hole Digger Attachment

--- Saves hand work

--- Digs post holes for highway safety steel cable installations  

--- Mounted on left rear of machine

--- Hydraulics supplied from the aguer conveyor circuit, using the conveyor ontrols on the machine console

--- Auger for post-hole digger operates inside cylinder, moving dirt upward into a hinged chute and catching the material before it hits the ground

--- Hinged chute allows the material to be dumped out of the way of the slipform application and eliminates the need for a crew member to move the dirt manually

--- Excavated material does not fall bak into the hole; thus, the pier hole is left clean for the slipform operation

--- Stop rod available for the attachment for consistency of hole depth

--- Requires a Quick Connect Mold Mount on machine.

--- Auger diameters available for the digger vary from 6", 9", 12", 15", 18", 24", 30", and 36"
