RP185-8.jpg (30047 bytes)

The RP1 85-8 is a eight-f oot wide track paver tha shares over 90% of the componentry of the 10 foot model. It is the only eight-foot track paver available in the United States with six-cylinder diesel power. The eight-foot width makes the RP1 85-8 a nonpermitted load, allowing for quick and hassle-free transportation. This narrow widtl also allows for manueverability and versatility on any job.

ENGINE
John Deere 6068Tturbo diesel, 415cu in (6.81),6-cylinder engine, 170HP (127 kw) 0 2,500 rpm.

PROPEL SYSTEM
Variable-displacement hydraulic pumps driving two-speed planetaries, Planentaries are mounted directly to D-4 size track system. Paving speed 0-180fpm (055 m/min.); travel speed 0-4.5 mph (0-7.2 kph). e.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Heavy-duty 24-volt starting system with 12-volt operating system. 90-amp alternator. All electric-over-hydraulic solenoids have manualoverride.

AUGERS
114* (356 mm) x 3/4' (19.1 mm) thick NI-hard, hydraulically-raisable auger system with Oft capabilities which allowthe operatorto maintain aparallel position of the auger and screed bottom.

OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT

SCREED EXTENSIONS
Standard screed may be extended to 24'(7.3 m) with no external support and 30'(9.1 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 availablewith crowning.

TUNNEL AND AUGER EXTENSIONS
Tunnel and Whard auger extensions are available to optimize material feed across 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 3' (90 cm) on either side of the 8' (2.4 m) screed while paving. Either side maybe articulated from 6.6% to negative 3.3% forcrown 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 or curb. Also available in sets to control mat elevation on both sides of the pavertfinisher simultaneously.

AUTOMATIC SLOPE CONTROL
Slope may be maintained with respectto eftherthe right or left reference grade of the screed.

TRACKS
Heavy-duty D-4 size tracks for longer life and lower maintenance costs. Standard features include hydraulically-activated track tensioning, 16* (406 mm) polyurethane grousers and bogie -mounted track rollers.

SCREED
8' (2.4 m) standard vibratory screed equipped with 26' (660 mm) wide, 1/2* (12.7 mm) thick T-1 plate replaceable wearing surface. Crowning capability 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.

CAPACITIES
Fuel - 85 gal (322 1). Hopper - 12 tons (110.9 MT), 110 lbs/cu Ift (1,762 kg/ cu m) material. Cooling system - 5 gal (18.9 1). ;'

FEEDER OVERRIDE
Allows operation of the augers independent of the feeder control s~fstem. Virtually eliminates much of the shoveling and raking required at the end of a pass by allowing the augers to continue to distribute the mix in f ront of the screed while the feeder conveyors are not running.

TRUCK HITCH
Positive control of trucks from the paver operator's seat is obtained through the truck hitch which hydraulically activates rollers that engage the truck's wheel rims.

AVERAGING SKI
30'(9.1 m) and 40'(12.2 m) skis 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.

PROPANE BURNERS
HYDRAULIC GENERATOR
HOPPER INSERT FOR SHUTTLE BUGGY USE
SONAR GRADE AND SLOPE CONTROLS
