Vögele has brought the first mini paver of the Dash 5 to market. With its new material hopper, new paver operator’s platform and new lighting concept, the Super 800-5 P features a high level of operating comfort and optimum visibility.

As with all pavers of the Dash 5 generation, Vögele focuses on high operating convenience and short set-up times with the new Super 800-5 P. In combination with the AB 200 V and TV and AB 220 V and TV extending screeds, the machine offers pave widths from 0.5 to 3.5 m – making it ideal for narrow construction sites.

The successor to the Super 700 and Super 800, the new Super 800-5 P has an engine output of 55.4 kW, a laydown rate of up to 300 t/hr and is extremely compact with a width of 1.4 m and a length of 4.4 m.

A major advantage of the mini paver is the newly developed material hopper: as before, both hopper walls can be hydraulically adjusted separately or together. In addition, the asymmetrical setting, for example for paving along a wall, can now be realised on both sides. The hopper walls of the new Super 800-5 P can be folded twice.

The flat engine hood, low hopper height and raised operator’s platform give the operator an unrestricted view to the front. This design also makes manoeuvring and loading the new Dash 5 paver much easier.

Greater flexibility and ergonomics

Another highlight is the improved operating system. As before, the new operator’s control console can be moved horizontally. 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.

Furthermore, 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-V socket for mobile devices provide greater convenience.

With Light Package or Light Package Plus of the Dash 5 generation, users can pave safely and precisely even in the dark or in poor visibility conditions. 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.
