The Ohio Department of Transportation: LeeBoy 8500 Training
Posted by: | CommentsThe 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.
Legg and Davis Construction: LeeBoy 8515 Paver
Posted by: | CommentsLegg and Davis Construction Company has been a family owned contracting business Columbus, Ohio since 1907. They are one of the few businesses that specialize in both asphalt and concrete work as a specialty. In 2006 they purchased a new Lee Boy model 8515 paver manufactured by Lee boy from The McLean Company. It is the latest in the state of the art paving machines built and designed by Lee Boy incorporating sonar based grade control system by Topcon and sonar material handling system. This new paver has an innovative electrically heated screed capable of going out to 15’ wide with heat and vibration and a high speed rubber track not offered by other manufacturers presently. The function controls for the machine is finger tip controlled which allows for ease of movement from right to left side of the machine for easy operation. The nice advantage of this machine is it can be a 2 or 3 man machine operation by either being a Low deck or High deck machine by simply raising the operators control panel. Literally 1 man can run this machine.
