Gomaco is building on the success of its GP360 and GP460, the industry’s first combination concrete slipform pavers and placer/spreaders on two tracks.
At ConExpo 2026, Gomaco will introduce the GP348 four-track for enhanced jobsite and project mobility.
As a placer/spreader with a 1.2 metre belt, the GP348 will place at widths up to 11 metres wide. As a concrete slipform paver, the GP348 will pave widths up to 9.1 metres wide.
The GP348 is built on the framework of the Gomaco four-track GP3 slipform paver with the ability to convert the prime mover into a concrete placer/spreader.
The prime mover is equipped with vibrator circuits for paving and auger drive circuits for placing.
The Gomaco-exclusive G+ digital control system makes controlling the new technology possible. G+ handles the controls conversion needed for each application while also bringing on board Machine-to-Machine communication, sonic sensors and 3D machine guidance.
Rotary-sensored slew drives on its leg pivots work seamlessly with the G+ control system. As well, operators can automate transitions from transport to paving mode, dramatically reducing setup time and improving efficiency.
The GP348’s four-track design enhances stability and on-site maneuverability, while its compact transport footprint allows it the capability to be hauled on a single semi-tractor trailer, either as a placer or paver, minimizing downtime between pours.
The Gomaco GP348 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine, which drives the conveyor belt and distributes concrete across the grade. The high-volume, 1.2-metre conveyor belt can be mounted on either the left or right side, depending on job-site conditions and the location of the haul road. It has a discharge speed of up to 150 metres per minute for fast and efficient concrete placement.
A controllable material deflector directs the flow of concrete at the discharge end of the conveyor for placement accuracy. As well, a dual-drive auger system moves the material to the centre or outer areas and across the strike-off.
The GP348 is available with an optional sonic sensor system to monitor the concrete depth as it is placed. Information from the sonic sensors is utilized by the G+ control system on the paver using M2M communication to provide an optimum and consistent head of concrete in front of the paver.
At ConExpo, the GP348 placer/spreader slipform paver will be part of Gomaco’s display of 13 pieces of equipment showcasing the company’s full line of concrete paving and support equipment.
