The latest units are said to be more versatile, more productive and easier to operate. Of note is the fact that three of the major concrete slipformer makers, GOMACO, Power Curbers and Wirtgen, have upgraded their offerings for machines at the compact end of this market segment, although in very different ways.As with other types of construction machines, electric power is now being seen as a potential power source for concrete slipformers. With the machines being used in urban areas, electric power offers a key benefit for operation. GOMACO is now offering the compact CC-1200e slipformer featuring electric power. According to the firm, the battery will power the machine for eight hours when laying kerb in a straight line although this may drop to around six hours when working around curves due to the extra power needed for steering. Recharging the 48V DC lithium-ion battery pack takes around 8-10 hours when using a conventional 220V supply, although the firm offers a two-hour fast charger as an option. |
