LiuGong’s new CLG509A paver is aimed at use on projects for roads, parking lots and airports. The firm says that it is suitable for bituminous concrete, stabilising soil, lime-ash soil and all kinds of road materials while it can handle paving widths of up to 9m and has a maximum throughput of 700tonnes/ hour.

It has four closed-loop working modes (paving or moving forward and backward), which the firm claims improve stability. The machine is also said to deliver high performance when paving on the straight or on curves. The paver’s on-board electronics are said to optimise mixing of materials with a load sensor playing a key role in proportioning values and reducing segregation.
