GEHL ASPHALT PAVERS
Gehl Co. has introduced two new Power Box Asphalt Pavers.
• The pavers are designed for commercial and municipal applications. The new 1448 Plus and 1648 Plus Asphalt Pavers feature fully-extendable screed extensions that allow the machines adapt to different job applications, such as driveways, recreational 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 width provides a solid foundation for smooth, accurate and finished asphalt mats. Crown and invert pitch adjustments are provided through screw-type jacks located at the center 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. By preheating the screed, asphalt is prevented from bonding to the screed’s wear plate and scoring mat finish. The 1448 Plus uses the engine exhaust to heat the screen with propane-heated screed as an option.
• The 1448 Plus is powered by a 36-hp Yanmar water-cooled diesel engine, a 44-percent increase in power from the model it replaced, according to a news release from the company. The 1648 Plus is powered by a 48-hp Yanmar engine, a 19-percent increase in power from the previous model. Both engines have EPA Tier III capability.
