This RTP-500 is placing concrete on the conveyor of a GT-3600 slipforming barrier wall in St. Louis, Missouri. GOMACO’s RTP-500 rubber-tracked placer provides the contractor with more versatility. This machine, equipped with heat-resistant belts, is used in the placement of asphalt on this mainline paving project in Belgium.
High-production results are achieved with the versatility of the longest placing conveyor in the industry. The conveyor is 35 ft. (10.67 m) long and 36 in. (914 mm) wide, with 170 degree hydraulic swing, and has 12 ft. (3.66 m) of hydraulic elevation adjustment. The GOMACO RTP-500, powered by a John Deere 6081H turbocharged diesel engine, has fast job-site mobility, with a travel speed up to 9 mph (14.5 kph), and an operating speed up to 110 fpm (33.5 mpm).

GOMACO-designed, auger-style receiving hopper is the largest in the industry, at 10 ft. 9 in. (3.28 m) wide, and a working capacity of 4.75 yd3 (3.63 m3), built with the strength and durability for handling high-volume, end-dump paving operations. The hopper features a 12 in. (305 mm) hydraulic vertical adjustment to allow for gate height on dump trucks. A 14 in. (356 mm) diameter auger with speeds up to 80 rpm, quickly moves the material to the transfer conveyor. Shaft-mounted eccentric vibrators provide vibration for emptying the hopper after each load and increase flowability.

The hydraulically folding rear conveyor minimizes the transport requirements on the RTP-500. The photos above and below show the RTP-500's conveyor folding from full length to transport length.

Hydraulically folding rear conveyor minimizes the transport requirements on the RTP-500. The overall shipping length is 37 ft. 3 in. (11.35 m), width is 11 ft. 9.31 in. (3.59 m) with hopper attached, 10 ft. 4 in. (3.15 m) without hopper, and a height of 11 ft. 8.3 in. (3.56 m) with conveyor folded.
