The GP-2600 slipform paver is designed to meet the worldwide demands in new and reconstruction of highways, streets, parking lots, and airport pavements. This slipform paver is available with two or four tracks to meet varying applications and contractor preference.

The GP-2600 modular telescoping frame provides versatility. The GP-2600 provides contractors with a broad range of paving widths from 12 feet (3.66 m) to 18.5 feet (5.64 m) with the unique telescoping frame that extends 6.5 feet (1.98 m) on the left side. The GP-2600 will pave widths up to 32 feet (9.75 m) with additional frame inserts. Hydraulically pressure-compensated sideplates provide edge control and a paving depth up to 19 inches (483 mm).

Production and serviceability are key factors with the GP-2600. More fuel capacity combined with engine fuel efficiency provide an extended day of paving, resulting in higher production. The segmented fiberglass shroud provides ease in serviceability. One section lifts up to allow easy access to the engine and service points.

The low-profile engine shroud designed for the GP-2600 provides enhanced rear visibility for the operator. This allows the operator to remain at the controls and see the entire paving operation. The GP-2600 is powered by a 275 horsepower (205.2 kW) Caterpillar, emission-controlled diesel engine.

An optional removable auger/strike-off offers ease in changing widths and transportability. The detachable telescoping auger/strike-off gives contractors the benefit of a mold that can be either an open-front or auger/strike-off. It can then easily be broken down with removable and telescoping sections. The auger/strike-off is designed to move independently with hydraulically-adjustable mounts on the front of the mold.

A self-supporting transition adjuster (TA) is standard to allow for crowning. Both the strike-off and the augers have 6 feet (1.83 m) of telescoping capabilities to aid in changing paving widths. When paving widths need to be changed, the contractor only has to add or remove a section of the paving mold and then telescope the auger and strike-off in or out, depending on the needed width.

The telescoping auger incorporates bolt-on flighting to accommodate the changing widths. Along with giving the contractor some extra versatility with their pavers, the detachable telescoping auger/strike-off can ease transportation.

The auger/strike-off can be detached from the front of the mold and the wings on the sideplate can be folded in to allow a four-track paver, with the mold still mounted underneath it, to be transported on one truck under 12 feet (3.66 m) wide.

GOMACO offers a patented computerized transition adjuster

The specialized GOMACO G+® accessory control system allows for programmed transitions from a crown to a flat cross slope in a superelevation, or vice versa. The G+ system is used to control the operations of up to four power transition adjusters (PTA), four tie bar inserters (TBI), two side bar inserters (SBI), a paint marker, and automatically timed spray bar.

 

power transition adjuster

GOMACO’s computerized transition adjuster is user-friendly and easy to understand. The PTA status display allows the operator to monitor the transition countdown, the target height of each PTA, current height of each PTA, and paver travel speed per minute.

The transition countdown displays the distance remaining in the current transition. The target height display shows the desired height of each PTA. The current height of each PTA is also shown along with a corresponding up and down arrow which is illuminated when the controller applies drive to each individual PTA.

 

 

 

PTA setup display

The PTA setup display is easy to use as you simply enter the transition distance and the crown height that is required on the project.

This GOMACO G+ accessory controller also allows the operator to configure the software to insert side bars and tie bars to meet the particular job specifications.

 

 

 

superelevation graphic

The illustration above shows a stretch of roadway with a three inch (76 mm) crown to a zero (0) crown into a superelevation and out from zero (0) crown to a three inch (76 mm) crown. The operator has entered a minimum crown of zero (0) and a maximum crown of three inches (76 mm).

The transition computer automatically averages the distance of the two track lines, inside and outside of the slab, and calculates the total change from minimum to maximum crown over the total distance entered for the transition.

 

 

 

 

Unparalleled Accuracy with the GOMACO Power Transition Adjuster (PTA)

 

GOMACO’s hydraulically-powered transition adjuster (PTA) provides on-the-go transitions in the crown of the concrete slab. A switch in the operator’s console controls the PTA in a positive or negative (up or down) motion. This flattens the crown in the paving mold/slab or adjusts the crown back into the mold/slab. These transitions are necessary in paving through superelevations and intersections.

This simple solution provides an easy method for an operator to perform a smooth transition where necessary and accomplish the required slab profile as specified.

Transportability Is An Important Feature In The Design Of The GOMACO GP-2600

The two-track minimum transport width is 11.9 feet (3.63 m) and the four-track minimum transport width is 9.8 feet (3 m). The two-track minimum transport height is 10.1 feet (3.08 m) without the mold and 10.8 feet (3.29 m) with the series two mold. The four-track minimum transport height is 10.2 feet (3.11 m) without the mold and 10.6 feet (3.23 m) with the 3100 series mold. The rear work bridge on the paver is hinged to allow it to fold up during transport. This allows the track legs to be inside the frame depth or transport width of the paver. By maintaining a minimum transport width, job-to-job mobility is easier, safer, quicker, and cost effective.

Only GOMACO Offers Exclusive “Smart” Cylinders Featuring Push-Button Steering Control Setup

smart cylinders

Only GOMACO offers “smart” steer cylinders to aid in the setup and operation of the four-track paver, especially in minimum-clearance projects.

Steering control has been simplified with exclusive “smart” cylinders, used for dependable steering control feedback, eliminating the sprocket, chain, and potentiometer at the top of each leg.

The “smart” cylinder reduces moving parts and eliminates the physical adjustments to the steering system.

GOMACO’s exclusive operating system now makes it possible to have push-button steering setup. The “smart” cylinders can be taught the desired degree of leg rotation, so that the tracks do not strike any object in minimum-clearance requirements. The operator has the option of overriding this setting.
