The RP-230 rubber-tired paver is a heavy-duty, high-production paver in a
class by itself. Powered by a 234 horsepower diesel engine and hydrostatically propelled
by two 21:00 x.,25" (53.3 m x 635 mm) high-flotation drive tires, the RP-230 is the
most powerful rubber-tired paver available. Superb access and component location makes
routine maintenance easy. Ni-hard conveyor liners and hydraulically adjustable augers are
standard equipment.
ENGINE
Cummins 6 CTA8.3,6-cylinder, turbocharged diesel, 234 H P (174 kw) 0 2,200 rpm.
PROPEL SYSTEM
Variable-displacement hydraulic pumps driving twospeed planetaries. Paving speed 0-330 f
pm (1100.6 m/ min.); travel speed 0-12.2 mph (19.6 kph).
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Heavy-duty 24-volt starting system with 12-volt operating system. 90-amp alternator. All
electric-overhydraulic solenoids have manual override.
AUGERS
17"(432mm)x3/4'(19.1 mm) thick Ni-hard, hydraulicilly-ralsable auger system with tilt
capabilities which allow the operator to maintain a parallel position of the auger and
screed bottom.
TIRES
Drive -- two 21:00 x 25' (53.3 m x 635 mm) hydroflatedhigh-flotation. Front --four 14'wide
x 22' diameter (356 mm x 559 mm) solid rubber.
SCREED
10' (3.0 m) standard vibratory screed equipped with 32" (813 mm) wide, 1/2' (12.7 mm)
thick T-1 plate replaceable wearing surface. Crowning capacity of 3.5% positive to 0.1 %
negative.
FUME EXTRACTION SYSTEM
Two blowers -- total air flow 4,200 cu f/min. (118.9 cu m/min.). Fold-down 10" (254
mm) exhaust pipe.

OPTIONS
SCREED EXTENSIONS
Standard screed may be extended to 24'(7.3 m) with no external support and 42' (12.8 m)
with external support using 6' (152 mm), 12' (305 mm), 24' (610 mm) and 36"(914 mm)
extensions. A 24"(610 mm) extension is available with crowning.
TUNNEL AND AUGER EXTENSIONS
Tunnel and Ni-hard auger extensions are available to optimize material feed kross the
screed when using screed extensions.
HYDRAULIC STRIKE-OFF EXTENSIONS
Left-and right-hand hydraulic strike-offs permit rapid changes in paving widths up to 4'
(11.2 m) on either side of the 10' (3.0 m) standard screed while paving. Either side may
be articulated from 6.6% to negative 3.3% for crown or wedge courses by use of electric
Jack Screws or hydraulically.
AUTOMATIC GRADE CONTROL
An electric/hydraulic system that automatically controls the elevation of the mat being
placed on one side of the machine with respect to a reference surface such as an adjacent
mat orcurb. Also available in sets to control mat elevation on boW sides of the paver/
finisher simultaneously.
AUTOMATIC SLOPE CONTROL
Slope may be maintained with respect to either the right or left reference grade of the
screed.
AVERAGING SKI
30' (9.1 m) and 40' (12.2 m) ft provide improved leveling of existing surfaces by
providing an average reference grade for the automatic grade control.
CUTOFF SHOES
One- and two-foot (0.3 m and 0.6 m) cutoff shoes are available for reduced-width paving.
