Shelly and Sands: GOMACO Commander III
By · CommentsShelly and Sands of Zanesville, Ohio put in 2006 a new Gomaco New Generation Commander III 4 track barrier wall machine to work, it incorporates the G21 network control system designed and built by Gomaco for precise control of steering and grade in pouring critical concrete jobs. On the I-270 State Route 161 ramp project the job required an open back barrier mold to open against a wall. This was accomplished by the control system using smart steering cylinders; another job was to pour on I-71 north bound exit at State Route 665 a 50” high barrier wall for ODOT.
The Ohio Department of Transportation recently awarded The McLean Company an order for several Lee Boy 8500 Low deck asphalt paving machines and Rosco Maximizer II asphalt distributors due to excellent dealer support and past performance of the machines. As one official put it we purchased the paving equipment from the dealer that is in the paving business. Pictured are the classroom training sessions featuring the 8500 by Scott McLean of the McLean Company and Brian hall of Lee Boy. ODOT trainees actually learned the ins and outs of the machine by paving sand with the instructor’s guidance and help.
Shelly and Sands, Inc: Vogele 2219T
By · CommentsShelly and Sands, Inc recently purchased from The McLean Company their 6th Vogele asphalt paver. The fleet of Vogele America machines consists of 3 wheeled and 3 rubber high speed track units. One of main considerations when deciding on which manufacturer’s machine they were going to purchase was local support and support from the respective manufacturer. The owning and operating costs of all these machines have been impressive according to management. The last two units put into operation are pictured below of which are high speed rubber track units. These units all incorporate Topcon series V dual grade and slope along with Topcon’s SAS averaging ski.
