GOMACO’s Xtreme GT-3600 Curb and Gutter Machine on Display at World of Concrete for the First Time Ever

GOMACO’s new Xtreme GT-3600 curb and gutter machine will be displayed for the first time in GOMACO’s booth at World of Concrete, to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada, January 22-25, 2019. The GT-3600 was the first 3-track machine to slipform a 610 mm radius, and now, with the Xtreme package on board, tight radius paving is easier and more efficient than ever before. The Xtreme package adds G+^® radius software with slew drives, smart-sensored hydraulics, and intelligence to the GOMACO GT-3600.

Xtreme steering and ultimate intelligence has been added to each of the GT-3600’s 3 tracks and includes rotary-sensored slew drives, sensored All-Track Steering and All-Track Positioning, and smart hydraulic cylinders. The Xtreme GT-3600’s tracks can now rotate further than ever before. The smart cylinders allow the G+ control system to know the exact position of all 3 tracks so it can make steering adjustments as needed. It is the ultimate in finite and accurate machine control.

As the Xtreme GT-3600 approaches the radius, with the values already dialed in, the operator activates the radius program, and the machine slipforms around the radius. It is that easy for any operator to pour a curb and gutter radius. The individual track speed control provides smooth machine travel around the radius. The G+ control system also easily interfaces with any of the major 3D guidance systems for the same smooth control.

A smart hydraulic cylinder is also utilized for Intelligent offset when telescoping and sideshifting the mold mounting system. The smart cylinders provide G+ the ability of repeatable mold offset. The trimmer head and mold also have independent vertical adjustments for raising and lowering to work around jobsite challenges.

The Xtreme GT-3600 is equipped with the latest engine technology. Along with Tier 4 is a new optimized cooling package with a hydraulic fan controlled by G+. G+ adapts the cooling needs to individual jobsite conditions for a quiet and efficient operation. Fuel efficiency has also been optimized and combined with an increased fuel capacity for an uninterrupted day of paving. The Xtreme GT-3600 is also available with GOMACO Remote Diagnostics (GRD) for machine troubleshooting, diagnostic reviews, software updates, and more.

The GT-3600 will be just one of the GOMACO curb and gutter machines featuring Xtreme technology on display at World of Concrete 2019. The Xtreme Commander IIIx will be displayed slipforming a tight radius curb and gutter application, while the 3300 will be set up as a right-side pour curb and gutter machine. The GT-3200 is now equipped with G+ controls and a rotary sensored slew drive on its front track for maximum turning capabilities and accuracy while slipforming with a compact curb and gutter machine. It will be shown for the first time at World of Concrete. GOMACO’s smallest curb machine, the Curb Cadet, will also be featured at World of Concrete. Concrete slipform placing and paving will be highlighted with the GOMACO RTP-500 rubber-tracked placer and the GP3 intelligent slipform paver. Rounding out GOMACO’s display will be a C-450 cylinder finisher for bridge deck and flat slab applications.
