The new Terex Cedarapids CR300L Series asphalt pavers from Terex Roadbuilding offer highway-class features in an 8-ft. (2.4 m) commercial paver.
The 9-in. (22.9 cm) longer CR300L Series offers contractors an 11 percent increase in hopper capacity to 10 tons (9.07 t), delivering more paving time between truck exchanges.
While the new pavers are longer and include more components, all CR300L Series machines — the rubber tire CR352L, rubber track CR362L and steel track CR362LS — keep the same weight as their previous model counterparts, so they can easily be transported from site to site without permits.
The additional 9-in. hopper length offers more tailgate clearance for end-dump trucks. Material is discharged in the middle of the paver hopper for more use of total hopper capacity.
With these new pavers, asphalt mix is now channeled from the hopper to the spread augers by the same chain, sprocket and slat bar delivery system found on the Terex Cedarapids CR400 and CR500 Series mainline pavers.
A 3.1-in. (7.8 cm) pitch roller slat chain with hardened eight-tooth slat drive sprockets replace the 2.6-in. (6.6 cm) pitch roller chain with four-tooth sprockets found on previous CR300 Series pavers.
The new CR300L 8-ft. pavers feature the same propel pumps found on larger Terex Cedarapids pavers. The Sauer-Danfoss 90 Series pumps run at higher pressures, giving the pavers more tractive effort than previous CR300 Series pavers. The 18 percent higher traction enables these new pavers to push heavy tandem axle trucks up steep grades.
Coinciding with the pump change, these new pavers offer higher paving speeds: the rubber tire CR352L is 10 percent faster at 400 ft./min (122 m/min); the rubber track CR362L is 22 percent faster at 250 ft./min (76 m/min); and the steel track is 21 percent faster at 200 ft./min (61 m/min).
The new CR362L paver features the Terex Cedarapids Smartrac system previously found only on the CR400 and CR500 Series rubber track pavers.
This feature automatically maintains proper track tensioning at all times. Front bogie positioning on the CR352L rubber tire pavers is extended 9 in. (22.9 cm), lengthening the wheel base for stable operation.
The Terex Cedarapids CR300L Series pavers are powered by the 165 hp (121 kW) Cummins 6BTAA5.9 turbocharged diesel engine.
The series offers paving widths from 8 ft. (2.4 m) to 18 ft. (5.5 m). Contractors can choose from three different screed designs for the CR300L Series — the electric or fuel-oil heated Stretch 16, electric VersaScreed 8 or fuel-oil Fatstach 8.
