• The Xtreme GT-3600 is now available as a hybrid machine! The industry’s first hybrid curb and gutter machine.

• The prototype machine is powered by:
– 74 horsepower (55 kW) engine.
– 48 volt generator/motor.
– Four (up to six) 7 kWh capacity lithium-ion batteries providing supplemental power when needed.

• The diesel engine operates at its peak efficiency point at all times.
– When less than peak power is required by the Xtreme GT-3600 Hybrid, the excess power operates the onboard generator/motor in “Generator Mode” to charge the lithium-ion batteries.
– When more than 74 horsepower (55 kW) is required, the GOMACO-exclusive G+® control system switches the generator/motor into “Motor Mode” to provide extra horsepower.

• The GOMACO-exclusive G+ control system regulates the power flow for load and efficiency.

• Hybrid system offers an estimated 10 to 15 percent fuel savings or more, based on machine application and job-site conditions.

• Eliminates the inconvenience and extra expense of DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid).

• Caterpillar C2.8 with U.S. EPA and CARB Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V diesel engine.

• The Xtreme GT-3600 Hybrid is available with GOMACO Remote Diagnostics (GRD).

• A larger rear-platform houses the lithium-ion batteries. Overall size of the GT-3600 did not increase, it features the same frame and engine shroud as the current model.

• Currently available on Xtreme GT-3600 only.

• Xtreme GT-3600 features:
– Xtreme Steering Capabilities with rotary-sensored slew drives on each of the three tracks.
– Xtreme Intelligence with repeatable mold offset.
– Xtreme Hydraulic Package for independent hydraulic travel control to each track.
– Xtreme Radius to slipform a 24 inch (610 mm) radius.

GT-3600 Hybrid Curb & Gutter Machine

The GT-3600’s sideshifting trimmerhead has four feet (1.22 m) of hydraulic sideshift, and 16 inches (406 mm) of hydraulic vertical adjustment.

Smart leg placement allows ultimate maneuverability around job-sites and loading and unloading the curb and gutter machine.
