Power Pavers’ new compact slipform paver, the Power Paver SF-1700, has the ability to pave up to 7.5 m (21 feet) wide.

“The SF-1700 was developed to respond to contractors’ demand for two-pass paving in many highway applications,” stated Fred Hite, General Manager of Power Pavers Inc. “In many developing countries, concrete supply is an issue, so paving in two passes is more practical than one pass.”

“The response to the SF-1700 has been excellent,” Hite said, “and we are getting great reports from our customers who have put them to work. In fact, we placed machines in three countries within a month of the machine’s introduction.”

The frame of the SF-1700 is based on Power Paver’s SF-2700. By reducing the engine size and main frame width, it was possible to make the SF-1700 a more compact, economical machine. Standard equipment includes a 160-hp Cummins engine, spread auger and tamper bar, and 12 Wyco vibrators.
