Featuring Versatility And Dependability Worldwide

GOMACO’s GT-3600 is one of most versatile, dependable and high-production curb and gutter machines with job-proven results throughout the world. The machine is designed with state-of-the-art technology and multiple features.

The three-track GT-3600 is a multi-application trimmer/slipform paver.

Applications for this machine include:

The GT-3600 features GOMACO’s patented simultaneous trim/pour concept. The unique design, multiple sensoring, and GOMACO G21 Control System allow the GT-3600 to automatically slipform a tight radius.

A major consideration in design is quick and easy job-to-job mobility. The GT-3600 will transport at 8 ft. 6 in. (2.59 m) with trimmerhead attached or 8 ft. 3.2 in. (2.52 m) without trimmerhead. The transport length is 17 ft. 4.97 in. (5.31 m) and the height is 8 ft. 1 in. (2.46 m).

The GOMACO GT-3600 is carefully designed with safety features to give years of dependable and safe service. The emergency stop buttons are located on the operator’s console and at strategic points on the machine, providing optimal use for specific applications. Other safety features include track guards, warning decals, an operator’s manual, and a safety manual. GOMACO machines are also designed to provide safety with the machine operator having maximum visibility over the entire paving operation.

Travel Speed Doubles With Two-Speed Track System

The two-speed track system provides fast job-site mobility. The travel speed on the GT-3600 three-track machine has nearly doubled from 66 fpm (20 mpm) to 125 fpm (38 mpm).

Another feature that makes this machine so versatile is All-Track Positioning (ATP) and All-Track Steering (ATS). Veteran concrete contractors who depend on their machine to make them money will testify to the advantages of ATP and ATS, such as getting around obstacles, avoiding obstacles, set-up time, mounting molds, transporting the machine, and loading and unloading. There’s a lot of things you can do with an All-Track Positioning, All-Track Steer machine that would be difficult or impossible to do if you didn’t have it. A GOMACO machine with All-Track Steering is able to pour a true radius because all of the tracks can turn as the paver maneuvers through the radius.

Also featured on this machine are the Commander III style legs that are 15 percent larger in diameter than the previous legs. The legs are also equipped with “smart” cylinders. The cylinders, along with the G21 controller, allow the operator to teach the “smart” cylinders to set the desired degree of leg rotation. This keeps the tracks from hitting any objects on minimum-clearance projects.

GOMACO’s Hook-And-Go System Is Quick And Easy

How Quick Can You Connect? Just Hook And Go!

GOMACO’s Hook-And-Go mold mount system has no pins or latches and makes it quick and easy to change molds.

Simply drive the GT-3600 up to the mold and hook the mount to a special attachment plate. The operator hydraulically lifts the mold and goes back to work slipforming the project...just hook and go.

New GT-3600 molds will be built for this system and existing molds can easily be retrofitted in the field.

Operational Visibility And Safety

The operator has a clear view of the conveyor, concrete truck and the chute man, providing operational safety.

First In The Industry To Design A Three-Track Machine To Slipform 24 Inch (610 mm) Radius Curb

• Unique design allows automatic adjustment of trajectory in and out of a tight radius.

• Multiple sensoring and mold positioning assures perfect placement of concrete through a tight radius.

A two-foot (610 mm) radius ribbon curb is accomplished with the unique machine design, operator station visibility, GOMACO G21 Control System, hopper, mold positioning, multiple sensoring and three-track versatility.

The GT-3600 is designed to eliminate guesswork and automatically adjusts trajectory in and out of a tight radius. The GT-3600 is equipped with three steer sensors. One sensor is located at the front of the mold (sensor 1); one is located at the front of the stainless (sensor 2); and one is aligned with the back of the stainless (sensor 3). As the GT-3600 enters the radius, the operator switches from sensor 1 to sensor 2 with a toggle switch.

The mold on the GT-3600 is positioned to assure perfect placement of the concrete through a radius. Also important for a tight radius are travel speed, mix design and slump of concrete.

The hopper on the GT-3600 is designed for extra concrete capacity. Loading the hopper full with the 15 ft. (4.6 m) long, 24 in. (610 mm) wide charging conveyor prior to going into the radius allows continuous travel through the radius without waiting for concrete delivery.

State-Of-The-Art Technology Provides High Production, Versatility, And Easy Operation

New Sensor Arms and Mounts

GOMACO engineers have redesigned the GT-3600 sensor arms and mounts. They are more durable, lighter weight and easier to manipulate than ever before.

New Legs Increased By 15 Percent

The new legs on the GT-3600 have increased in diameter by 15 percent, providing the same quality and durability as the Commander III legs.

Fast Concrete Loading Provides Increased Production

Fast concrete loading provides high-production results and there are two conveyor systems to choose from with the GOMACO GT-3600. The standard conveyor for the GT-3600 is 15 ft. (4.6 m) long and 24 in. (610 mm) wide and has a belt speed variable up to 260 fpm (79.25 mpm). It is hydraulically powered, reversible with charging hopper. The pivot mount conveyor has hydraulic lift and positioning. The mold is designed with extra concrete capacity, to allow slipforming through a complete radius without waiting for concrete delivery.

Also available is the auger style conveyor that provides fast and efficient concrete flow. The auger conveyor has increased flighting spacing with a 16 in. (406 mm) pitch for efficient handling of concrete. It has carbide wear shoes on the flighting that provide durability and longer wear time. The redesigned trough on the auger conveyor fits tighter to the flighting for better concrete flow.

Conveyor Belt Wiper

The conveyor belt wiper is a standard bolt-on attachment for the GT-3600 and features segmented blades mounted on individual cushions. This feature allows the cleaning tips to conform to the centers of the belt for constant contact without the need for constant adjustment. The spring tension design allows quick and easy adjustment.

Guillotine-Style and California-Style Curb Depressors for Driveways

Another feature on the GT-3600 is the optional hydraulically powered driveway blockout, available for curb and gutter molds. This feature allows the GT-3600 to eliminate wasted material while slipforming through driveways.

Guillotine-style curb depressor has a straight blade that enters the face of the curb while slipforming through driveways.

California-style curb depressor has a curved blade that enters the face of the curb providing a smooth finish.

Sectionalized Trimmerhead

The standard 30 in. (762 mm) wide trimmerhead with insert sections provides up to a 66 in. (1676 mm) wide sectionalized trimmerhead with right-hand or left-hand discharge available. The insert sections are available in 12 in. (305 mm), 18 in. (457 mm), and 24 in. (610 mm) widths.

GT-3600 Sideshifting Trimmerhead Avoids Obstacles

The trimmerhead can be sideshifted up to 48 in. (1219 mm) for clearance of obstacles and to allow the GT-3600 to pave right up to the obstacle. The mold can then be hydraulically lifted off the curb and over obstacles.

Hydraulic Vertical Adjustment

The ability to raise and lower the trimmerhead and mold makes the GOMACO GT-3600 ideal for rehabilitation work and going over driveways, manholes and other obstacles. The GT-3600 can pave right up to the driveway where the operator raises the mold, allowing the machine to travel across the distance of the driveway without leaving the stringline. The mold is then lowered to grade and slipforming continues.
