Ideal for commercial and municipal applications, the new 1448 Plus and 1648 Plus Asphalt Pavers feature fully-extendable screed extensions that allow the machines to be adapted easily to different job applications, such as driveways, recreational ball courts, bike paths and parking lots. A full-floating, adjustable and vibratory screed is standard on both Power Box models. The screed’s 8-foot length and 13-inch widths provides a solid foundation for smooth, accurate and finished asphalt mats. Crown, invert and pitch adjustments are provided through screw-type jacks located at the centre and ends of the main screed assembly. These adjustments allow the operator to maintain a consistent depth and develop drainage contours within the mat. To heat the screed, the 1648 Plus uses a propane burner system.
