In earlier posts I've mentioned the new "MAX" package we've added to the 5700-C which allows contractors to pour taller and wider than ever before.  We were excited when we introduced the C-MAX at World of Concrete, but we had no idea just how popular the machine would become so quickly.

Last week I spent time in Istanbul Turkey on a 22km (15 mile) long tunnel in which a new C-MAX is pouring escape walks.  Because the diameter of the tunnel changes, the size of the escape walks change. In order to match the walk to the sloping tunnel wall, we engineered and manufactured a 5-ton mold that not only hydraulically lengthens, but widens as well.  Our customer is getting outstanding results and productivity far beyond what handforming would have generated. 

We are getting requests for new applications for the C-MAX virtually daily.  Large V-ditches, variable barrier molds, and concrete paving lead the list of project inquiries. 

With so much negative news out there, it is nice to be able to tell you that it's a great time to be a part of Power Curbers, coming up with new solutions for the questions our customers face.  If you're bidding a job and aren't sure if it can be slip-formed, please contact us.  We're finding new ways to utilize the 5700-C-MAX everyday!
