Roadtec

Roadtec, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, manufactures and markets a complete line of cold planing and recycling equipment, material transfer vehicles and asphalt paving machines. These products are sold all over the world through an extensive combination of dealers. All Roadtec are built to the highest standards, emphasizing simplicity, productivity, versatility and accessibility.

One of the demands placed on contractors is to produce a recyclable asphalt product when milling up old pavement during the road reconstruction process and to leave a smooth surface for repaving. Roadtec’s successful line of cold planers fills this need.

Roadtec offer cold planers in sizes from utility to full-lane. They provide the optimum balance between horsepower, production and manoeuvrability. Track models can be equipped with a bi-directional feature to achieve down cutting in the reverse direction of travel.

Roadtec pavers are the most reliable and maintenance-free pavers in the industry. They are simply-designed and well-balanced for maximum tractive effort and can be equipped with a variety of screeds and controls. Roadtec is the first U.S. paver manufacturer to make electric screed heat standard equipment on all models. This insures that the screed plates are heated evenly from front to back and from end to end, eliminating the ”hot” spots found with diesel or propane burners. The Comfort Drive™ operator system is also standard equipment on our pavers. Designed for maximum comfort and ease of operation, there are two complete operators’ stations, each with individual consoles, allowing the paver to be operated from either side. These consoles are easily interchangeable from side to side to accommodate left-or right-handed operators. A hydraulically-raised engine hood allows “walk-in” access for maintenance needs and critical componentry.

Roadtec's new and innovative gravity-fed Stealth® paver was designed to work in conjunction with the SB-2500 Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle and the MTV-1000C material transfer vehicle. The Stealth® Paver is a low-maintenance machine that does not require conveyors or hopper wings. The design significantly reduces customers' maintenance cost and purchase price.

The Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle offers the latest in pavement placement technology available world-wide. The Shuttle Buggy is a mobile, self-propelled surge bin with an antisegregation auger design that remixes material to produce a consistent size and temperature. In addition, the surge capacity of the Shuttle Buggy allows for continuous paving by separating truck unloading from the paving process; trucks never come in direct contact with the paver and are able to unload material immediately and return to the asphalt plant.

Roadtec is perfectly positioned to help road builders meet new state Departments of Transportation (DOT) regulations in the USA for pavement smoothness. New smoothness standards are most easily achieved with a material transfer vehicle used in combination with a paver. The Roadtec Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle not only allows the construction of significantly smoother roads but also improves the efficiency of paving operations. Benefits to the contractor include significant savings in asphalt trucking costs and the ability to meet, and even exceed, DOT standards. Being able to provide those benefits has made the patented Shuttle Buggy one of Roadtec's most successful products.

 

MTV-1000C Material Transfer Vehicle

The MTV-1000C material transfer vehicle, like the Shuttle Buggy® models, is capable of transferring while reblending paving material to allow for continuous in-line paving. The patented, offset gravity transfer provides reblending of asphalt materials just before they are delivered to the paver, eliminating truck-end segregation. With an optional windrow attachment, the MTV-1000C can pick up material from a windrow and transfer it to the paver.

SB-2500D Shuttle Buggy® Material Transfer Vehicle

The SB-2500D Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle (MTV) can store and transfer hot-mixed asphalt material from a truck to a paver for continuous paving. A patented anti-segregation auger remixes materials just before they are delivered to the asphalt paver. The 25-ton (22.7 MT) surge capacity of the SB-2500D allows trucks to unload material immediately and return to the asphalt plant. Options include the windrow pickup head and the road widener attachment.
