| Rideability Starts Here With The World’s Most Versatile Material Handling Machine |
|
 The Advantage of GOMACO’s Unique Front-Mounted, Two-Track Design
• More Trimming Power... The new single-drive, hydrostatic motor increases trimmerhead power by 24 percent with 23 percent more trimmerhead speed for high production. One drive instead of two provides less maintenance.
• Asset Utilization... The versatility of the 9500 comes directly from the front-mounted design. This allows changing the same machine from a grade trimmer to a shoulder trimmer or to a concrete placer.
• Less Maintenance Time... Easy access to the front-mounted trimmer allows quick inspection of the trimmerhead or replacement of teeth.
• Quick Transport Readiness... The trimmerhead or concrete hopper is easily detached and the machine simply backs off. No additional equipment is needed at the location to remove them.
• It Loads Itself... Optional hydraulic pick-up arms load the trimmerhead onto the trailer, so additional heavy-lifting equipment is not needed at that location.
• Maneuverability Between Stringlines... A 360-degree turn in the machine’s own length is possible because of the two-track design. A wide turning radius is not demanded like three-track machines. Maneuverability is necessary in most job-site conditions.
• Low PSI... The large track surface contact area and the two-track design provide a high tractive effort and low ground pressure on the trimmed grade.
• Does Not Leave The End Of The Pass Untrimmed... Only the front-mounted trimmer allows for trimming to the end of each pass or within inches of front obstacles.
• More Power And Minimum Side Clearance... Our state-of-the-art, hydrostatic, direct drive motor in the trimmerhead is mounted internally to allow side-clearance requirements of only inches/millimeters.
• Visibility Means Safety... The operator has a full view of the trimmerhead or concrete hopper because it is directly in front of the operator’s platform.

| Improved Conveyor System Provides More Power |
|
The conveyor system now offers more throughput than ever before. The conveyor system is now a closed loop direct drive hydrostatic system. This new system design provides more power to the belts and five percent more belt speed.
The throat from the trimmerhead to the transfer conveyor has been enlarged to funnel the maximum amount of material possible to the belt system in a single rotation of the head.

|
| GOMACO Trimmerhead Designed For Maximum Power And Performance |
 The standard 12 ft. 8 in. (3.86 m) 9500 trimmerhead has 107 teeth for maximum performance to profile the grade to specification. |
|
| High-Performance Mining Trimmerhead For Tough Trimming Applications |
| The GOMACO 9500 trimmer is available with a high-performance mining trimmerhead. The mining trimmerhead’s diameter has been increased and features a newly designed auger/tooth wrap. The tooth-tip rotational maximum speed has increased by 31 percent over the standard trimmerhead. The mining trimmerhead has carbide-tipped asphalt teeth for cement-treated base, soil stabilization, and other tough trimming applications. |
|
| Sidemounted, Sectional Trimmerhead Is Designed For Shoulder Work |
| The 9500 travels on the existing roadway and the sidemounted trimmer eliminates the problems of restricted side clearance, obstacles along the shoulder, and lack of offset or available track path outside the shoulder. It is capable of trimming off either side of the machine, and has up to 6 ft. (1.83 m) sideshifting capabilities. Read more on the sidemounted trimmer here. |
|
| Less Parts And More Trimming Power Than Ever Before With Single Drive |
| The 9500 has a single hydrostatic drive motor on the trimmerhead. This hydraulic system design has made the best even better. It requires less maintenance with one drive, instead of two. It has half the circuits, half the connections and half as many hoses with the single drive. It has more trimming power for the operation with 24 percent more power to the standard trimmerhead and the tooth-tip rotational maximum speed has increased by 23 percent. The single drive now allows for simplified and cost effective trimmerhead width changes. You can now add inserts without the consideration of two drive sections. |
|
| Versatility with Sonar, Quick-Hitch, Pick-Up Arms, and Rolling Grade Ski |
|
A digital tracking sonar sensing system is available for the 9500 trimmer. This system is ideal for second pass trimming operations. Grade referencing is achieved as the sonar sensor bounces a sound wave off an existing slab or grade. No stringline setup is needed, and this saves time, which means more profit for the contractor.
A quick-hitch locks the dump truck to the 9500 placer and with the truck in neutral, the 9500 will easily push the truck while it is discharging the concrete into the receiving hopper. The receiving hopper, with a capacity of 1.6 cu. yd. (1.2 cu. m), is equipped with a split flighting hydraulic 12 in. (305 mm) diameter auger that carries concrete from both sides to the center and onto the transfer conveyor.
Grade sensoring with GOMACO's rolling grade ski is standard for the 9500. The versatile grade ski includes two rubber-tired casters which follow the existing grade or surface. The grade ski uses a standard sensor wand.
Ease in loading the trimmerhead or receiving hopper onto a trailer for transport or positioning either of these when mounting on the 9500 is achieved with the optional hydraulic pick-up arms at the front of the frame. The pick-up arms can lift the standard trimmerheads to a maximum height of 5 ft. 5 in. (1.65 m) and the mining trimmerheads to a maximum height of 4 ft. 10 in. (1.47 m).

| GOMACO’s Optional G22 Operating System |
|
 G22 is GOMACO’s proprietary software and control system. The GOMACO G22 is a revolutionary software and operating system that combines intelligence with simplicity for GOMACO construction equipment. The new graphical display provides the operator with an easy to understand interface to the machine controls. The G22 operating system is exclusive to GOMACO products.
The user-friendly screen and controls are simple, to allow operators to learn in a very short time. A simplified approach with screen icons reduces the operator’s learning curve to a minimum. The G22 features a 6.5 in. (165 mm) anti-glare display screen with sensor-controlled backlight levels. It provides superior visibility under all operating conditions. A dual language feature is available on the G22. It features the ability to operate in English or a second language. It also offers the choice of metric or imperial measurements.

| GOMACO’s Control System Easily Interfaces with the Stringless Technology |
 GOMACO Corporation has the control system of the future. The technology allows GOMACO’s slipform pavers, trimmers, and placer/spreaders to be controlled by an automated 3-D machine-control system and not by stringline. The 3-D control system is adaptable to the revolutionary GOMACO control system. This system can accommodate radii or superelevations automatically according to design data. Real-time navigation systems allow the project data created in the CAD system to be directly put into the paving process. The result is improved product quality, operational safety and work rate. Another advantage is uninterrupted control of the machine over long distances. There is no stringline installation or maintenance. The stringless control systems can save you time and money. |

| Efficiency, Safety and Visibility... |
| The 9500 operator station is designed with a pedestal console and remote control handset to provide operator efficiency, safety and visibility of the entire operation. The remote control handset allows the operator to control the manual jog for front grade cylinders; concrete hopper vibrator on/off; hitch-lock on/off; front lift arms up/down; rear conveyor up/down; rear conveyor left/right swing; rear conveyor unload/reverse, transfer conveyor unload/reverse; machine stop; track control forward/reverse; manual steering pot; and travel speed. The 34 ft. 8 in. (10.57 m) long by 36 in. (914 mm) wide rear hydrostatic conveyor on the 9500 provides quick and accurate placement of material in the trimming or placing operation. The rear conveyor has a 160 degree hydraulic swing and hydraulic height adjustment up to 16 ft. 2.86 in. (4.95 m), allowing a maximum reach and easily places trimmed material past an adjacent lane, over stringline, or directly into haul units. |
