The RC Conveyor has standard, double-flanged, steel trolley wheels, which run on any type of rail system or paving forms. Traction speed is variable up to 38 fpm (11.58 mpm), forward and reverse.
Concrete is discharged directly into the receiving hopper from ready-mix trucks. The diverter car discharges to the front or rear and is operated by hydraulically powered, positive chain drive. Variable hydraulic control of the diverter car and of machine travel assures even and accurate placement of concrete.
The RC Conveyor is designed with a lattice-type, structural angle-iron frame with pin-connected sections which are interchangeable in 12 ft. (3.66 m), 6 ft. (1.83 m) and 3 ft. (.91 m) increments for fast setup and easy assembly.
The RC Conveyor is counterbalanced with the console and receiving hopper at opposite ends, removing the operator from the congested area of the receiving hopper.
The RC Conveyor includes self-widening capability for use on tapered decks and slabs.
The self-contained console has easy-to-operate controls. The RC Conveyor is powered by a 70 hp (52.2 kW) diesel engine.
The bogies are designed to allow the frame to be set at any skewed angle up to 55 degrees. The travel speed of each bogie is independently controlled to allow negotiation through radii.
