Vögele has launched the Super 800-5 P, the manufacturer’s first mini paver in the Dash 5 roster.
Equipped with a new material hopper, new paver operator’s platform and new lighting concept, the Super 800-5 P offers a high level of operating comfort and optimum visibility.
As with all pavers of the Dash 5 generation, Vögele focused on operating convenience and short set-up times when developing the Super 800-5 P.
In combination with the AB 200 V and TV and AB 220 V and TV extending screeds, it offers pave widths from 50 cm to 3.5 metres – making it ideal for narrow construction projects.
The successor to the Super 700 and Super 800 has an engine output of 74 hp, a laydown rate of up to 300 tonnes per hour and a compact size with a width of 1.4 metres and a length of 4.4 metres.
Compared to its predecessors, the Dash 5 model also integrates numerous practical innovations.
New hopper
A major advantage of the mini paver is the new material hopper. Like previous versions, both hopper walls can be hydraulically adjusted separately or together. In addition, the asymmetrical setting, which is beneficial for such tasks as paving along a wall, can now be used on both sides.
The hopper walls of the new Super 800-5 P can also be folded twice. Together with the flat engine hood, the low hopper height and the raised operator’s platform, this gives the operator an unrestricted view to the front. This makes manoeuvring and loading the new Dash 5 paver much easier.
ErgoBasic 5
Vögele has also improved the operating system: as before, the new operator’s control console can be moved horizontally. In addition, its angle can now be adjusted in four stages and ergonomically adapted to the height of the operator.
The new ErgoBasic 5 operating concept follows the operating logic of the larger machines but has been specially adapted to the mini paver. For the first time, the paver operator’s console incorporates a display that allows the operator to view the machine’s operating data. In addition, Vögele has fully integrated the operation of the Auto Grade Basic system for automated grade and slope control into the screed control system.
This enables screed operators to control the Super 800-5 P with just one compact console – just like on large Vögele pavers. A new storage system with a tool and drink holder, coat hooks, and 24-volt socket for mobile devices also ensures organization and more convenience.
New lighting concept
With Vögele’s Light Package or Light Package Plus of the Dash 5 generation, users can pave safely, relaxed and precisely even in the dark or in poor visibility. The light package for the Super 800-5 P includes LED lighting for the paver operator’s console, the tow point cylinder and the auger tunnel. This ensures that all points relevant to the paving are specifically illuminated without casting shadows.
The optional Light Package Plus also offers two LED floodlights that optimally illuminate the entire working area.
