9500 TRIMMER/PLACER — Rideability Starts Here… With The World’s Most Versatile Material Handling Machine

THE ADVANTAGE OF GOMACO’S UNIQUE FRONT-MOUNTED, TWO-TRACK DESIGN

• More Power and Minimum Side Clearance — Our state-of-the-art, hydrostatic, direct drive motor in the trimmerhead provides ample power for trimming capability and is mounted internally to allow minimal side-clearance.

• Does not Leave the End of the Pass Untrimmed — Only the front-mounted trimmer allows for trimming to the end of each pass or within inches of front obstacles.

• Low PSI — The large track surface contact area and the two-track design provide a high tractive eff ort and low ground pressure on the trimmed grade.

• Proportional Hydraulic System — Proportional valves are used in the conveyor lift and swing circuits, and the grade control circuit to provide fast, smooth responsive control.

• G+® Controlled Travel — Smooth travel for trimming accuracy and job-site mobility.

• Asset Utilization — The versatility of the 9500 comes directly from the frontmounted design. This allows changing the same machine from a grade trimmer to a shoulder trimmer or to a concrete placer.

• Less Maintenance Time — Easy access to the front-mounted trimmer allows quick inspection of the trimmerhead or replacement of teeth.

• Automatic Rear Steer — The 9500 features rear steer to back up on line with stringline or other guidance.

• Cruise Control To Maintain Constant, Maximum Production — The exclusive G+ control system on the 9500 has the GOMACO POS-A-TROL® feature for optimum performance and power to the trimmerhead. It will increase the operating speed to a predetermined level in relationship to the trimmer circuit pressure. The G+ control system automatically controls the travel speed through POS-A-TROL and takes the operator guesswork on “head pressure versus speed” out of the trimming operation.

• Quick Transport Readiness — The trimmerhead or concrete hopper is easily detached and the machine simply backs off. No additional equipment is needed at the location to remove them.

• It Loads Itself — Optional hydraulic front lifting arms load the trimmerhead onto the trailer, so additional heavy-lifting equipment is not needed at that location.

• Maneuverability — A 360-degree turn in the machine’s own length is possible because of the two-track design. A wide turning radius is not required like three-track machines. Maneuverability is important in today’s job-site conditions.

• Visibility Means Safety — The operator has a full view of the trimmerhead or concrete hopper because it is directly in front of the operator’s platform, or the operator can move around the platform using the exclusive GOMACO remote.

• Improved Conveyor System Provides More Power — The conveyor system offers more throughput than ever before. The conveyor system is a closed-loop direct drive hydrostatic system. This system design provides more power to the belts.

• GOMACO Trimmerhead Designed for Maximum Power and Performance — The standard 12.7 foot (3.87 m) 9500 trimmerhead has 107 teeth for maximum performance to profile the grade to specification.

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.

VERSATILITY WITH SONAR, FRONT LIFTING ARMS, AND ROLLING GRADE SKI

Grade sensing with GOMACO’s rolling grade ski is standard for the 9500. The versatile grade ski includes two rubber-tired casters which traces the existing grade or surface. The grade ski uses a standard sensor wand.

A digital tracking sonar sensing system is an option for the 9500 trimmer. This system is ideal for second pass trimming operations. Grade referencing is achieved as the sonar sensor bounces a sound wave off an existing slab or grade. No stringline setup is needed, and this saves time, which means more profit for the contractor.

Ease in loading the trimmerhead or receiving hopper onto a trailer for transport or positioning either of these attachments when mounting on the 9500 is achieved with the optional hydraulic front lifting arms at the front of the frame. The front lifting arms can lift the standard trimmerheads to a maximum height of 5.7 feet (1.74 m) and the mining trimmerheads to a maximum height of five feet (1.52 m).

HIGH-PERFORMANCE MINING TRIMMERHEAD FOR TOUGH TRIMMING APPLICATIONS

The GOMACO 9500 trimmer is available with a high-performance mining trimmerhead. The mining trimmerhead has a 42 inch (1067 mm) diameter and features an auger/tooth wrap. The tooth-tip rotational maximum speed of the mining trimmerhead is 1736 feet per minute (529 mpm). The mining trimmerhead has carbide-tipped asphalt teeth for cement-treated base, soil stabilization, and other tough trimming applications.

FEWER PARTS AND MORE TRIMMING POWER THAN EVER BEFORE WITH SINGLE DRIVE

The 9500 has a single hydrostatic drive motor on the trimmerhead. This hydraulic system design has made the best even better. It requires less maintenance with one drive, instead of two. It has half the circuits, half the connections and half as many hoses with the single drive. It has more trimming power for operation of the standard trimmerhead and the toothtip rotational maximum speed is 1323 feet per minute (403 mpm). The single drive allows for simplified and cost effective trimmerhead width changes. You can add inserts without the consideration of two drive sections.

SIDEMOUNTED, SECTIONAL TRIMMERHEAD IS DESIGNED FOR SHOULDER WORK

The 9500 travels on the existing roadway and the sidemounted trimmer eliminates the problems of restricted side clearance, obstacles along the shoulder, and lack of offset or available track path outside the shoulder.

• Capable of trimming off either side of the machine.

• Hydraulically controlled, sidemounted, sectional trimmerhead designed for shoulder work.

• Up to six feet (1.83 m) sideshifting capabilities.

• Sidemounted, sectional trimmerhead can trim a maximum width of five feet (1.52 m) on the 9500.

• 48 inch (1219 mm) diameter trimming wheel.

• Up to 16 inches (406 mm) cutting depth.

• Sectional trimmerhead allows width changes in 12 inch (305 mm), 18 inch (457 mm), and 24 inch (610 mm) increments.

• Single trimmerhead drive system for the 9500 with trimming widths from 24 inches (610 mm) to 60 inches (1524 mm).

• Pressure-compensated sideplates.

• Existing machine hydraulics run the drive system.

• Cross-conveyor for delivery of trimmed material from trimmerhead to center-mounted transfer conveyor.

• The transfer conveyor can hydraulically shift forward for operation and pull back to allow the trimmerhead to sideshift for transport.

• The rear conveyor is used to place the trimmed material into haul units or into windrows.

• Transport width is 12 feet (3.66 m) with the shoulder trimmer mounted to the 9500.

G+ CONNECT EASILY INTERFACES WITH STRINGLESS TECHNOLOGY

GOMACO Corporation has the control system of the future. The new technology allows GOMACO’s slipform pavers, trimmers, and placer/spreaders to be controlled by an automated 3D machine guidance or by stringline. All of the major 3D guidance systems easily interface with the revolutionary G+ control system.

G+ can accommodate radii or superelevations automatically according to design data. Real-time navigation systems allow the project data created in the CAD system to be directly put into the paving process. The result is improved product quality, operational safety, and work rate. Another advantage is uninterrupted control of the machine over long distances. There is no stringline installation or maintenance. The 3D guidance system teams with GOMACO’s G+ to save you time and money.

EFFICIENCY, SAFETY, AND VISIBILITY

The 9500 operator’s station is designed with a remote control handset, in addition to the console, to provide operator efficiency, safety, and visibility of the entire operation.

The 35 foot (10.67 m) long by 36 inch (914 mm) wide rear hydrostatic conveyor on the 9500 provides quick and accurate placement of material in the trimming or placing operation. The rear conveyor has a 160 degree hydraulic swing and hydraulic height adjustment up to 16.2 feet (4.94 m), allowing a maximum reach to easily place trimmed material past an adjacent lane, over stringline, or directly into haul units.

The 9500 Trimmer/Placer is carefully designed to give years of dependable and safe service. The emergency stop buttons are on the operator’s console and on corners of the machine, which are easily accessible from the ground level and from the new operator’s remote. Another safety feature is 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, rear conveyor alarm, 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.
