• Powerful C4.4 engine delivers 110 kW (148 hp) of power that supports increased feeder system capacity as well as hopper inserts for continuous paving

• Tight 90 degree turning capability enables the paver to rotate and cover tracks on a return paving pass

• Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 V screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15' 6") with a maximum width of 6.1 m (20')

• Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 FM screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15' 6") with a maximum width of 6.2 m (20' 6")

• Paving depths up to 250 mm (10") supports aggregate paving applications

• Paver and screed combination weight of 15.3 mt (34,000 lb) enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types

• Length of less than 5.65 m (18' 6") and width of 2.6 m (8' 6") accommodates machine transport without special permits

• Efficient track plow design pushes material away from the tracks and helps eliminate cold patches caused by track compression

• Low truck entry height and short front apron enhance material flow while simplifying clean-out

• Feeder system design with 355 mm (14") diameter augers provides consistent material flow across the screed for efficient flow at both narrow and wide paving widths

• Confined auger chamber keeps material moving and helps eliminate stagnate patches

• Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for proportional feed system control
