  • Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 FM screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15'6") with a maximum width of 6.2 m (20' 6")
  • Paving depths up to 250 mm (10") supports aggregate paving applications
Transport Made Easy

Transport Made Easy

  • Machine weight of less than 14.5 mt (32,000 lb) paver and screed combination enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types
  • Length of less than 5.65 m (18' 6") and width of 2.6 m (8' 6") accommodates machine transport without special permits
  • The front-loading angle of 17 degrees and high front bumper clearance reduces the need for additional blocking when loading onto various trailer designs
  • Front, middle, and rear tie-down locations make securing the paver highly efficient for quick travel to the next job site
Exceptional Mobility

Exceptional Mobility

  • Wheel undercarriage provides exceptional mobility and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site
  • Excellent traction is delivered through the 14.00x20 sand-rib or 17.5 R25 radial drive tires
  • Front-wheel assist option provides power to the rear set of bogie wheels for excellent performance in tough conditions
  • All-wheel drive option utilizes a flow divider to deliver power to both sets of front bogie wheels for additional pulling power
  • High ground clearance of 197 mm (7.8") helps avoid storm drains, curbs, and other obstacles
Smooth Material Flow

Smooth Material Flow

  • Optimized hopper design with low truck entry height and short front apron enhances material flow while simplifying clean-out
  • Enhanced feeder system with 355 mm (14") diameter augers provides consistent material flow across the screed for efficient flow at both narrow and wide paving widths
  • Confined auger chamber keeps material moving and helps eliminate stagnate cold patches
  • Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for manual proportional feed control
More Comfort

More Comfort

  • Ventilation system draws fumes from the auger chamber and redirects them away from the operator for a more comfortable working environment
  • Dual independent consoles provide operation from either side of the machine for optimal visibility to curbs, edges, and transverse joints
  • Dual independent seats swing out 40 degrees beyond the platform for good visibility to curbs and obstacles

The Cat® Grade and Slope system is designed to remove irregularities from the paved surface. The system consists of sensors to control elevation and slope. These sensors can work individually or together to make automatic elevation or cross slope adjustments and maintain the targeted values. Averaging beams equipped with multiple sensors provide a longer averaging area to help remove irregularites for smoother transitions.
