Projects include a 12,000 foot (3658 m) rollover curb job at the Schulz Ranch subdivision in Carson City, as well as 30,000 feet (9144 m) of a different profile of rollover curb at the Damonte Ranch planned community in Reno.
This contractor slipformed four different types of curb and gutter as part of the 2010 Winter Olympics Athletes’ Village. The project required four different curb profiles, two of them unique to Whistler.
The new Commander III features the GOMACO-exclusive G+ control system for easy and quiet operation. The paver also has an optimized cooling package with a hydraulic fan controlled by G+ to adapt cooling needs to job-site conditions for quiet and efficient operation.
The operator’s console pivots and allows hands-on control and visibility. The platform is also isolated to eliminate vibration.
GOMACO’s trim/pour design assures maximum concrete yield. The Commander III is equipped with a 42 in. (1067 mm) wide sectionalized trimmerhead. Extensions are available on the unique sectionalized trimmerhead for trimming up to 10 ft. (3.05 m) wide.
This Commander III is equipped with a monolithic trimmerhead and mold. It simultaneously trims the correct profile as the monolithic sidewalk and curb and gutter is slipformed. The monolithic profile is a 5 ft. (1.52 m) sidewalk with a 36 in. (914 mm) roll curb.

The charging conveyor on the Commander III provides fast concrete loading, which increases production. The conveyor is hydraulically powered and reversible. The charging conveyor is 24 in. (610 mm) wide and 17 ft. 1 in. (5.21 m) long between pulley centers. The belt speed is variable up to 320 fpm (97.54 mpm).
A contractor in Alabama slipformed 16,357 linear feet (4986 m) of valley gutter in nine hours and 23 minutes.
All-Track Steer (ATS) and All-Track Positioning (ATP) are features that provide contractors with a versatile machine. The advantages to ATS and ATP are maneuvering around and avoiding obstacles, set-up time, mounting molds, transporting the machine, and loading and unloading.
The track circuits on the three-track machine provide up to 49 fpm (15 mpm) operating speed for high-production paving and 125 fpm (38 mpm) travel speed, allowing quick and easy job-site mobility.
This Commander III is slipforming side-by-side curb and gutter which divides two streets on a subdivision project. The gap will be filled in with concrete and hand-finished.
The Commander III is carefully designed to give years of dependable and safe service. Emergency stop buttons are located on strategic areas of the machine. The E-Stops are on the operator's console and on corners of the machine.
The Commander III slipforms curb and gutter through radius work with minimum-clearance requirements easily. Self-tensioning tracks are fully automatic and hydraulically lock in on machine start-up to maintain steady track tension on the track chain.
The Commander III features the sideshifting and vertical-lifting trimmerhead, mold drawbar and hold-down assembly. The mounts on the Commander III provide up to 36 in. (914 mm) hydraulic sideshift, 18 in. (457 mm) of hydraulic vertical adjustment and 6 in. (152 mm) of manual vertical adjustment.
Whether it calls for curb and gutter, monolithic sidewalk and curb and gutter, recreational trail, barrier wall, bridge safety parapet, 20 ft. (6 m) wide paving or irrigation canal, no other paving machine in history has been capable of tackling more types of projects and satisfying more customers.
The Commander III allows the interchangeability of mold profiles in a matter of minutes, providing high production. Pre-existing attachments are interchangeable on the Commander III.
The Commander III trims and slipforms curb and gutter through a cul-de-sac. For clearance of obstacles, the three-track Commander III’s trimmerhead and mold will hydraulically sideshift up to 36 in. (914 mm).
I Won't Go Anywhere But GOMACO, Commander III Is Smooth and User Friendly
We chose the Next Generation Commander III because of its new features and technology. We have always run a Commander III. It has the power that is required for us on a lot of these demanding jobs. Its durability is key. We can’t be in a small community, hours away from necessary parts, and have it break down. That just can’t happen and that’s never been a problem with the Commander III.
The Next Generation Commander III is smooth. Smooth and very user friendly. I love the G+® control system, its screen, control dials and buttons. Plus, the G+ diagnostics are really good. I can go in and easily diagnose the machine with all of the feedback available.
I like the fact that I can just hit the button and with Cruise Control, the machine will rev itself down. I don’t have to jog the throttle down, I just track it and the machine remembers what speed it was at before it stopped. That works great. Its smoothness of travel is just really good and the machine holds tight to the line.
It’s a user-friendly machine and after just one day with it, we’ve been at full comfort level and full production capacity. I’ve been running GOMACO machines for 15 plus years and I won’t go anywhere but GOMACO. GOMACO is a great company and so is their distributor here in British Columbia, Lonetrack Equipment.

The Best Sidewalk We've Ever Poured, Our New Commander III Is So Quiet
The weight of the machine was one of the selling factors for me. In talking with my finishers, weight allows you to pour a flatter product and they’re telling me this is the best sidewalk we’ve ever poured. I’ve heard nothing but good things about the machine from them.
The isolation of the operator’s platform is a huge improvement because it just makes for operator comfort. The noise reduction is a very good thing, too. I got on this new machine and tried to turn the throttle all the way up because I thought it was just idling it was so quiet. It was at 2200 rpms, full throttle, so that’s a huge plus to all of the guys.
We’ve done quite a bit of what I’d call more difficult logistical projects and we’ve used all GOMACOs. We’ve been all the way back from the Analog to where we are now. It’s a familiarity. It’s a comfort level. It’s a support level. I’ve got the history with GOMACO.

Its size and its weight work for our needs, and it does exactly what we want it to do. These Commander IIIs are capable of doing just about anything, so be innovative and try things. You just have to think outside the box, try it, and it will work.
