With the new SP 1200, Wirtgen GmbH adds a new specialist for concrete slab paving to its comprehensive product range. The modern product portfolio comprises now a total of 10 flexible slipform paver models in all performance classes and for all types of applications. Standard paving widths range from 1 m to 16 m.

The new SP 1200 is a slipform paver for paving concrete slabs at a minimum working width of 3.50 m and maximum working width of 12 m. Standard paving thicknesses of up to 450 mm are possible. The powerful, sound-insulated diesel engine with EPA III standards and a rating of 224 kW permits high daily production rates. The outstanding economic efficiency of the new Wirtgen machine is based on a flexible machine concept that includes minimum time requirements for machine conversions, modular extension options, as well as ease of maintenance.

A particular highlight is the paver`s clever self-loading dowel bar unit which rules out the need for any kind of expensive cranework during dismanteling or assembly activities. This equipment feature enables convenient loading of the machine in next to no time at all, reduces the transport cost and guarantees easy and quick operational availability.

Broad range of applications for the new SP 1200

A machine of the medium-size class, the SP 1200 is an ideal candidate for paving all types of concrete slabs. The main fields of applications of this “mobile road construction plant” are the slipforming of urban roads, motorway and airport construction and the paving of hydraulically bound base layers.

The field-proven SP 1200 meets all demands when it comes to flexibility of application. Its hydraulically telescoping machine frame enables paving widths between 3.50 m and 8.0 m to be realized with the basic equipment packages. The range of concrete paving applications is broadened even further by means of optionally available extension elements. The system’s modular design then permits paving widths of up to 12 m. Simple modification makes sure that the machine will be ready for the next job in minimum downtime.

The machine’s excellent manoeuvrability is ensured by four individually and hydraulically driven crawler track units that can be rotated individually by up to 90°.

Finishing beam and super smoother are part of the paver’s standard equipment. Dowel bar inserter, side tie bar inserter and longitudinal joint bar inserter are available as optional equipment modules.
