COMMANDER III — CURB AND GUTTER MACHINE

THREE-TRACK AND FOUR-TRACK COMMANDER III BENEFITS

• The Commander III is the best selling multi-purpose machine of all time. Voted Roads & Bridges magazine’s Contractor’s Choice Award for both slipform paving and curb and gutter applications every year since 2007.

• The GOMACO Commander III is all about vision, safety, performance, and the operator.

• The Hydraulic Package on the Commander III provides independent hydraulic travel circuits to each track allowing G+® to control each individual track speed through a radius.

• The engine with its rear facing cooling package is designed for better operator visibility, quieter operation, and to provide clean air intake to the radiator while avoiding the concrete loading from a front-facing design. The redesigned engine shroud also allows for easy access to service and fill points.

• An optimized cooling package with a hydraulic fan, controlled by G+, adapts the cooling needs to job-site conditions for both a quiet and efficient operation.

• Excellent fuel efficiency combined with an increased fuel capacity allows for an uninterrupted day of paving on the project.

• The pivoting operator’s console allows the operator to have hands-on control and a clear view no matter where they are on the platform.

• The vibrator circuits control panel is located for easy access and easy-reach control.

• The Commander III features an isolated platform which reduces vibration for all day operator comfort.

• G+ allows for simple connections to 3D guidance or GOMACO’s complete library of sensors for steering and grade.

• Easy push-button steering set up with “smart” cylinders. This allows you to set track steering and other parameters.

• Features All-Track Steering (ATS) for loading, job-site mobility, and to set the machine to line quickly.

• Features All-Track Positioning (ATP) giving the contractor more options for dealing with obstacles, job-site logistics, and various applications.

• The Commander III is the choice for various applications such as monolithic sidewalk, curb and gutter, barrier, slotted drains, roll-over curb, parapet, and slipform paving.

• Telematics is available with GOMACO Remote Diagnostics (GRD) for machine troubleshooting, diagnostic reviews, software updates, and more.

• An on-board camera for visibility is available. The camera feeds full color video to the G+ control screen. This allows the operator to survey designated areas for the slipforming process.

• The G+ wireless remote control is an option for the Commander III. The G+ remote control allows an operator to work from the operator’s platform or have the ability to move around the machine with hands-on control at all times.

COMMANDER III TRIMMER BENEFITS

• High-production trimmer capable of widths up to 11 feet (3.4 m)

• Features the same framework as the Commander III curb and gutter model, but with minor modifications

• Right, front track has been switched to a pivoting front track to accommodate zero trimmerhead clearance on both sides

• Front tracks are parallel and trimmerhead is undermounted

• Vibrator hydraulics for paving applications removed and replaced with a bigger, closed-loop trimmer pump for more power

• Equipped with the most powerful trimmer ever put on a Commander III

• 114 horsepower (85 kW) of the total engine power dedicated to the trimmer

• Capable of trimming flat or monolithic sidewalk and curb and gutter profiles

• Trimmerhead has three air shocks to keep it stable during the trimming process

• If it would hit a large rock or other object, the air shocks reduce some of the force of impact into the Commander III’s mainframe

• Two conveyors move the material

• Transfer conveyor moves material from the trimmerhead on the front of the machine towards the discharging conveyor in back

• Each belt is 11 feet (3.4 m) long and 20 inches (508 mm) wide

• Discharge conveyor has seven feet (2.1 m) of sliding capabilities to place material over the stringline or discharge into the center of the roadway

• Shipping width is only 11 feet (3.4 m) and the Commander III trimmer transports as a single unit

• Trimming conversion can be retrofitted to higher horsepower existing new generation Commander IIIs with G21 or newer GOMACO control systems

G+® CONTROLS – DESIGNED FOR CONCRETE PAVING

It is now the technology that pulls everything together… G+ is the center that Connects all of the resources.

Once you experience G+ controls, you won’t be satisfied with anything else. It’s a control system that is both easy to learn and easy to operate. G+ expresses itself in easy to understand international icons and full script explanations. It operates in all the major languages of the world and in imperial or the metric system. It has a lightning-fast processing speed and features two-way communications between the accessories and G+. Its instant digital feedback combined with the tight closed-loop electronic and hydraulic control creates a G+ experience that is smooth, efficient, and accurate. There is nothing on the market that can compare, because G+ is a proprietary system that was designed by our in-house control experts incorporating what we have learned from decades of experience in the field, and from what we have learned from you, our customer.

• Machine operation is simple.

• Machine response is fast.

• Troubleshooting is pinpointed, quick, and easy.

• Fault history available.

• Control from stringline, 2D, or 3D guidance.

A flat-panel 6.5 inch (165 mm) anti-glare display screen is provided with sensor-controlled backlight levels for superior visibility in all operating conditions. The screen is rugged and shock resistant in its construction to protect against dust, moisture, and rain. G+ provides a full color display on the control panel to illustrate the various aspects of the paver for set up and operation. A “run” screen on the control panel illustrates the various aspects of the paver. It includes leg position, paving speed and percentage of drive, steering, travel information, grade information, deviation meters, and more. Newly designed icons and color graphics make it easy to understand and easy to identify the targeted functions. G+ receives a track speed reading from pulse pickups in the track motors to give you real time feet (meters) per minute and total linear footage (meters). G+ controls feature a detailed fault history with the time stamp, date, and information to track when each fault occurred. GOMACO’s G+ control system has been proven around the world.

G BOX

The Commander III has a GBox on every leg to accommodate improved steering and grade with G+ controls. It’s part of GOMACO’s electronic and hydraulic initiative. GOMACO’s GBox features a new location for convenient access to the sensor bulkheads, valve overrides, and reduces hose and wiring needs. The GBox provides ease in serviceability, troubleshooting, and provides quick access with a horizontal swing door at ground level.

GOMACO REMOTE DIAGNOSTICS (GRD)

The Commander III can be equipped with GOMACO Remote Diagnostics (GRD). This software allows operators to see when, where, and how their machines are being used. Operators have the capability to request software updates from GOMACO in Ida Grove, Iowa, remotely without service personnel traveling to the job site. GRD allows for fleet management through GPS location and troubleshooting abilities.

DESIGNED FOR SAFETY

The Commander IIIx is carefully designed to give years of dependable and safe service. The emergency stop buttons are on the operator’s console and on the corners of the machine, which are easily accessible from the ground level. The machine is equipped with a backup alarm, which is designed to alert personnel around the machine when the tracks are set to operate in reverse. Other safety features include track guards, warning decals, operator horn, an operator’s manual, and a safety manual. GOMACO machines are also designed to provide the operator with excellent visibility over the entire paving operation.
