The 9500 operator’s station is designed with a remote control handset, in addition to the console, to provide operator efficiency, safety, and visibility of the entire operation. The 35 foot (10.67 m) long by 36 inch (914 mm) wide rear hydrostatic conveyor provides quick and accurate placement of material.
G+ connects with the Leica Geosystems 3D guidance for accurate stringless grade preparation on a GOMACO 9500 trimmer.
Extended sensor arms on the 9500 provide trimming accuracy through transitions. The telescoping arms allow sensoring on stringlines set up to 40 feet (12.19 m) apart.
The 9500 has a single hydrostatic drive motor on the trimmerhead. It has more trimming power for operation of the standard trimmerhead and the toothtip rotational maximum speed is 1323 feet per minute (403 mpm).
The rear conveyor has a 160 degree hydraulic swing and hydraulic height adjustment up to 16.2 feet (4.94 m), allowing a maximum reach to easily place trimmed material past an adjacent lane, over stringline, or directly into haul units.
GOMACO’s 9500 trimmer equipped with Leica Geosystems 3D guidance allows for the much needed minimal clearance while preparing the grade for a service road.
A 9500 trims grade for the mainline portion of a project in St. Louis, Missouri. The trimmer is equipped with an 18 foot (5.5 m) wide trimmerhead.

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.

A Russian contractor is trimming base with a 9500 trimmer on a new roadway project near Kazan, Russia.
This 9500, with the Leica stringless guidance system, is trimming the grade for a rest area near Springfield, Missouri.
GOMACO's control system easily interfaces with new stringless technology. The technology allows GOMACO's slipform pavers, trimmers and placer/spreaders to be controlled by a 3D guidance system and not by stringline.

The 9500 can be equipped with the sidemounted, sectional trimmerhead designed for shoulder work. It is capable of trimming off either side of the machine. The 9500 travels on the existing roadway and the sidemounted trimmer eliminates the problems of restricted side clearances, obstacles along the shoulder, and lack of offset or available track path outside the shoulder.
The tooth-tip rotational maximum speed in the mining trimmerhead 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 touch trimming applications.
Dual grade control is used for sensoring on both sides of the machine simultaneously. Extended sensor arms on the 9500 provide trimming accuracy through transitions. The telescoping arms allow sensoring on stringless set up to 40 ft. (12.19 m) apart.
Two 9500s with 18.8 foot (5.7 m) wide trimmerheads trim the subgrade and grade on this highway project in Nebraska. The operator has a full view of the trimmerhead, which is directly in front of the operator’s platform.

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 bounces a sound wave off an existing slab or grade. No stringline setup is needed, and that 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 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.
Extended sensor arms are available for the 9500 and provide trimming accuracy through transitions. The telescoping arms allow sensoring off stringlines set up to 40 ft. (1.19 m) apart.
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 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 9500 is the only front-mounted trimmer that allows for trimming to the end of each pass or within inches of obstacles. Its versatile design allows ease in changing from a trimmer to a placer. It also has easy access for changing trimming widths or attaching a trimmerhead or placing hopper.
