Commercial and municipal pavers

Ideal for commercial and municipal applications, the new Gehl Power Box 1448 Plus and 1648 Plus asphalt pavers feature fully-extendable screed extensions that allow the machines to be adapted easily to different job applications, such as driveways, bike paths and parking lots.
A full-floating, adjustable and vibratory screed is standard. The screed’s 8 foot length and 13 inch width provides a solid foundation for smooth, accurate and finished asphalt mats.
To heat the screed, the 1648 Plus uses a propane burner system. The 1448 Plus uses the engine exhaust to heat the screed with optional propane-heated screed.
An electronic control module provides an automatic preheat timer and audible warning alarms. It displays indicator lights for engine temperature, engine oil pressure, battery and engine preheat.
The Gehl 1448 Plus Asphalt Paver is powered by a 36-hp Yanmar water-cooled diesel engine, a 44 percent increase in power from the model it replaced. The 1648 Plus Asphalt Paver is powered by a 48-hp Yanmar water-cooled diesel engine, a 19 percent increase in power from the previous model. Both engines have EPA Tier III capability.
The ground drive is a direct-drive type track design that will not slip under normal/severe conditions. This provides the customer more versatility in different subbase conditions. This system self-cleans, and it tensions itself with the aid of a hydraulic cylinder.
A front lip has been added to the asphalt hopper to retain asphalt within the paver’s hopper assembly as the truck unloads and pulls away. This protects the ground drive system from undue contamination and produces a more even-finished mat.
Fold-up hopper wings result in an overall width of 8 feet 6 inches. The paver requires less trailer space, allowing room for additional equipment, such as an asphalt roller.
