The GOMACO GP-4000 is the preferred paver for airports around the world. High production on runways and aprons is achieved with slipform paving up to 50 feet (15.24 m) wide in a single pass. This four-track, equipped with the GOMACO’s IDBI dowel bar inserter, meets all specification requirements on the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix, Arizona. GOMACO’s IDBI is a fully automated patented system for both two-track and four-track pavers. The exclusive IDBI system is far superior to others on the market. It is proven to be the world’s most accurate in bar placement location, productivity, and meeting rideability specifications.
The versatile four-track GP-4000 is equipped with the IDBI system. The exclusive operating system allows the machine to be controlled by an automated 3D stingless guidance system and not by stringline. This is a two-layer mainline paving project in the Czech Republic. Paving widths on this project range from 35 feet (10.7 m) to 40 feet (12.2 m). The total thickness of the two-layer slab is 12 inches (305 mm). GOMACO’s patented two-layer paving mold incorporates two-layer paving into a “single-mold design.” This system eliminates the use of more equipment for the job and eliminates having to extend the paver to great lengths between the front and rear legs for second-layer paving. The material is spread with an auger and consolidated with vibrators and a tamper bar.
The GP-4000 four-track, equipped with the IDBI dowel bar inserter, is slipforming the Meihe Highway in the Guangdong province of China. This mainline highway project is being slipformed at 29 feet (8.84 m) wide and 11 inches (279 mm) deep.
The two-track GP-4000 is equipped with the world’s most accurate IDBI system. GOMACO’s patented IDBI dowel bar inserter provides ease and accuracy in dowel bar placement transversely across the slab. This machine is also equipped with a sidemounted air-powered bar inserter and will accommodate most types of bars. Optional 16 foot (4.88 m) or 18 foot (5.49 m) track lengths are available for customer preference.
The two-track GP-4000 is slipforming a 24 inch (610 mm) thick slab at the Atlanta Hartsfield Airport in Atlanta, Georgia. The GP-4000 is also equipped with the exclusive GOMACO operating system and 3D stringless guidance system.
The four-track GP-4000 slipforms four miles (6.4 km) of concrete on Route 30 in Fontana, California. The project was paved in three continuous sections to provide a new east/west artery into Los Angeles, California, to relieve congestion into the city. The GP-4000 was set up to slipform 38.5 foot (11.7 m) wide passes, 11 inches (279 mm) thick, with over 123,000 cubic yards (94,041 m3) of concrete. The machine was equipped with GOMACO’s patented IDBI system for the placement of bars. The IDBI dowel bar inserter provided easy and accurate bar placement. The IDBI was placing 1.5 inch by 18 inch (38 by 457 mm) dowels 12 inches (305 mm) apart, and placed approximately 335,000 dowel bars throughout the entire project. Tie bars for the longitudinal joints were inserted into the slab at 24 inch (600 mm) spacing. These bars were inserted using the mold-mounted bar inserters. Rideability specifications were easily achieved on this project. The GP-4000 was also equipped with the GOMACO Auto-Float®, designed to automatically seal the concrete surface during the paving operation.
This project involved over 40 miles (64.4 km) of Interstate 25, north of Denver, Colorado. The two-track GP-4000 slipformed the concrete at 40.5 feet (12.3 m) wide and 13 inches (330 mm) thick. The machine was equipped with GOMACO’s patented IDBI system for the placement of bars.
A high-production feature on GOMACO slipform pavers is one-pass slipforming with integral curb on one or both sides of the slab. The two-track GP-4000 is slipforming this slab 31 feet (9.5 m) wide and five inches (127 mm) thick, with integral curb on both sides of the slab.
The four-track GP-4000 is designed to meet all the paving specifications and rideability requirements while slipforming a toll road near Austin, Texas. This massive project was nearly 100 miles (161 km) of concrete paving with the roadway ranging from 40 feet (12.2 m) up to 64 feet (19.5 m) wide, and the majority of the concrete was 13 inches (330 mm) thick and paving over continuous steel reinforcing. The GOMACO GP-4000 was set up to pave at three different paving widths, 18 feet (5.5 m), 22 feet (6.7 m), and 24 feet (7.3 m). The company chose the GP-4000 for this project because of the overall weight of the four-track machine and its ability to meet and exceed ride specifications for the life of the project.
GOMACO’s two-track GP-4000 is paving passes 24 feet (7.3 m) wide and 15 inches (381 mm) thick on a new interstate in Arizona.

The exclusive GOMACO G+ control system features self-diagnostics for grade and steering. It features new and easy-to-operate hardware with steering and travel dials. The elevation jog buttons, located to the left of the display screen, are used to manually change the elevation of the leg when the control loop is set to manual mode. The steering jog buttons, located above the display screen on four track pavers, are used to manually change the steer direction of the tracks when the control loop is in manual mode. Control dials are used for manual steering and travel. The G+ travel dial turns to adjust travel speed in one percent increments, and ramps up or down with smooth, precise speed control. This feature is ideal for controlling the smooth travel speed necessary for slipform paving. The paver can be turned left or right with the G+ steering dial as it is moved in the manual travel mode.
A flat-panel 6.5 inch (165 mm) anti-glare display screen is provided with sensor-controlled backlight levels for superior visibility in all operating conditions. The screen is rugged and shock resistant in its construction to protect against dust, moisture, and rain. G+ provides a full color display on the control panel to illustrate the various aspects of the paver for set up and operation. A “run” screen on the control panel illustrates the various aspects of the paver. It includes leg position, paving speed and percentage of drive, steering, travel information, grade information, deviation meters, and more. Newly designed icons and color graphics make it easy to understand and easy to identify the targeted functions. G+ receives a track speed reading from pulse pickups in the track motors to give you real time feet (meters) per minute and total linear footage (meters). G+ controls feature a detailed fault history with the time stamp, date, and information to track when each fault occurred. GOMACO’s G+ control system has been proven around the world.
GOMACO Corporation has the control system of the future. The exclusive G+ control system allows GOMACO’s slipform pavers, trimmers, and placer/spreaders to be controlled by a 3D stringless guidance system. The 3D stringless guidance system is adaptable to the G+ control system. This system can accommodate radii or superelevations automatically according to design data. Real-time navigation systems allow the project data created in the CAD system to be directly put into the paving process.
The illustration to the left shows a cross section of the robust frame structure. The top of the frame flange to the bottom of the T-Rail is 39.5 in. (1003 mm) and the width of the connecting flange is 17 in. (432 mm).
The design of this frame structure was engineered to provide the machine with the strength and the rigidity to accommodate the wider paving widths of today’s paving markets.
On each side of the four-track machine there are four turnbuckles with 2 in. (50 mm) threaded rods that stabilize the leg pivot. Frame flanges are used for bolting on the legs. Each leg on the four-track machine has manual pivoting mount arms which allow the leg to pivot 19.5 in. (495 mm) to the outside and to the inside from the straight ahead position. Another feature includes the track guards for safety.
Sixteen vibrators and sixteen vibrator circuits are standard on the GP-4000. Available for wider paving widths are the right-hand and left-hand modular extension packages. Each package has an additional sixteen vibrator circuits and a stationary cooler with hydraulic fan to cool the vibrator circuit oil. When equipped with both of these optional packages, the paver could then accommodate up to 48 vibrators.
The GP-4000 is equipped with the 5000 series open-front mold. It has a reversible 16 in. (406 mm) diameter hydraulically-powered split auger. The auger speed provides up to 70 rpm while spreading the concrete across the width of the slab.
The GP-4000 minimum transport height for the two-track is 8 ft. 7.5 in. (2.63 m) without tracks and mold. Minimum transport height for the four-track is 8 ft. 3.8 in. (2.54 m) without tracks, legs, pivots, and mold.
Minimum transport width for the two-track without tracks and mold and for the four-track without tracks, legs, pivots, and mold is 9 ft. 7.8 in. (2.94 m).
The minimum transport length for the two-track machine is 20 ft. 10.8 in. (6.37 m) without tracks, mold, and frame inserts.
The minimum transport length for the four-track is 19 ft. 8.5 in. (6 m) without tracks, legs, pivots, mold, and frame inserts.
GOMACO offers several bar insertion systems that are designed to accommodate your project specifications. Hydraulic cylinder, air-powered, and manual insertion are the three types of bar insertion. Bar inserters include the frame-mounted, sidemounted, 5400 series, and trailing form. GOMACO’s bar inserters provide easy and accurate bar placement to job specifications.
The frame-mounted tie bar inserter (TBI) accurately places the transverse bars for the longitudinal joint by placing the bars behind the vibrators.

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.
Supported Power Transition Adjuster
A 5000 series mold with a self-supporting transition adjuster (TA). The self-supporting TA is available for widths up to 32 feet (9.75 m) on the 3100 and 5000 series molds, and up to 37 feet (11.28 m) on the 5400 series mold. This TA accommodates rear loading bar inserters.
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.
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.
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.
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.
GOMACO offers both the auger/strike-off mold .... and the exclusive open-front mold!

Featuring Steering Choices for Job-Site Mobility and Transportability on Four-Track Pavers
GOMACO’s Selective Steer Controls feature forward/reverse steer and manual steering choices. The G+ controls feature control dials for manual steering and travel. The paver can be turned left or right with the G+ control steering dial as it is moved in the manual travel mode.
Auto Steer Mode ... This mode is selected when steering is to be controlled by the steering sensors. The controller automatically recognizes where the sensors are plugged in and assigns steering, slope, or dual stringline to the appropriate tracks and display meters.
Coordinated Steer ... For minimum turning radius. When “coordinated steer” is selected, the steering control dial will control the turning of the tracks. If the dial is turned left or right from the center position, the leading tracks will turn in the corresponding direction and the trailing tracks will turn in the opposite direction.
Crab Steer ... The paver will walk sideways for ease in putting the machine on line. When “crab steer” is selected, the steering control dial will control the turning of all four tracks. If the dial is turned left or right, all tracks will turn in the corresponding direction to walk the machine to the side.
Front Steer ... When “front steer” is selected and the steering control dial is turned left or right, the front tracks will turn in the corresponding direction and the rear tracks will remain straight.
Rear Steer ... When “rear steer” is selected and the steering control dial is turned left or right, the rear tracks will turn in the corresponding direction and the front tracks will remain straight.
Counter-Rotation ... The unique counter-rotation programming allows the paver to turn 360 degrees within its own dimensions, providing excellent job-site maneuverability.
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 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.
