Wirtgen SP 15, SP 25 Pavers

The SP 15 and SP 25 are true multipurpose machines that lay curb and gutter, barrier, sidewalk, V-ditch, special applications and slabs. Both of these versatile machines can be quickly configured on-site for left- or right-side pouring.

The SP 15 and SP 25 accept the new AutoPilot™ from Wirtgen, a GPS-based system that ensures highest precision and optimum efficiency in slipform paving, regardless of whether straight profiles, highly complex curved paths, or closed profile configurations need to be placed. AutoPilot was introduced to North America at World of Concrete 2012.

Wirtgen SP 15

The SP 15 has a maximum paving width of 6 ft., maximum barrier/parapet placement height of 4 ft., 3 in., and a maximum operating weight of 28,500 lb. It has best-in-class trimming capacity, quick on-site changes for left or right side pouring, unsurpassed job site mobility, and pours the tightest, smoothest radius in the industry with all-track steering and positioning. The SP 15 also features an Eco mode which matches engine rpm to machine power requirements, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions.

The SP 15 slipform paver sets new standards as a multipurpose machine for offset concrete paving. The compact machine has a heavy-duty design for tough day-to-day operation, exceptional maneuverability, and ease of operation. It’s the ideal choice for pouring offset profiles and for sidewalk up to 6 ft.

The SP 15 owes its broad range of capabilities to the highly flexible arrangement of its mold and track units, as the great variety of setup options make the machine adaptable to most job site conditions, resulting in unrivaled operating efficiency.

Different-profile molds can be mounted on the left or right side of the paver without the need for time-consuming machine conversions. The two front track units can be chosen in pivot design, while the rear track unit can be chosen with mechanical or hydraulic adjustment to either side.

The flexibility of the SP 15 is enhanced by options such as trimmer, concrete feeding via belt conveyor or auger conveyor, and electric or hydraulic vibrators. The compact, overall dimensions of the SP 15 allow for easy transport.

The Wirtgen SP 15 concrete slipform paver was introduced at World of Concrete 2010, with the SP 25 soon after.

Wirtgen SP 25

The SP 25 has a maximum paving width of 12 ft., and maximum barrier/parapet placement height of 6.5 ft. It also features quick on-site changes to left or right side pouring.

The machine’s modular design allows for a wide array of applications with either three or four tracks. It features an Eco mode which matches engine rpm to machine power requirements, thus saving fuel and reducing emissions. Its maximum operating weight is 44,000 lb., depending on configuration and application.

Like the SP 15 it also features quick on-site changes to left- or right-side pouring. The SP 25 is the ideal candidate for a large variety of special jobs both in the open and in tunnel construction, using either stringline or state-of-the-art 3D control technology .

Mold changes or conversion of the SP 25 from inset to offset configuration can be accomplished quickly and easily on site. An advanced electronic steering and control system ensures that profiles are poured with the highest precision.

Easy and convenient operation of the slipform paver guarantees short training periods and high productivity.
