Curb Roller is one of the leading concrete shaping equipment providers that provide various concrete shaping equipment such as high-quality pavement roller, concrete screed equipment, flume roller, roller screed, and many other products for affordable prices.
the world leader in shaped concrete roller screeds, introduces the Badger Curb Maker for monolithic pours. Designed to seamlessly shape and finish curbs after another product screeds flatwork, the innovative machine supports user efficiency and reduces the need for extra equipment, transportation and labor. The Badger Curb Maker is battery-powered and lightweight, and delivers high-quality, uniform results for concrete pours.
“There has been a growing demand for monolithic pours from operations both large and small as they look to improve their efficiency,” said Seth Ulmer, sales manager at Curb Roller Manufacturing.
Traditionally, there are three ways contractors have completed monolithic concrete pours.
- With expensive slipform pavers
- By hand shaping
- Face forming
Both hand shaping and face forming require highly skilled labor and more materials. The Curb Maker offers a cost-effective, battery-powered solution that is easy to learn and provides consistent results. It also provides less reliance on the operator’s skill level.
With monolithic pours, contractors skip the step of an additional pour before placing and finishing the curb. First the concrete is poured and the flatwork is completed either by a roller screed or a laser screed. The Curb Maker is then positioned along its perimeter to form the concrete to the shape of the curb. One operator oversees the equipment and pulls the Curb Maker as it spins in the opposite direction as another crew member manages the concrete with a rake or shovel to ensure the correct amount of material is in front of the machine.
