VÖGELE launched their new pavers in the compact equipment class roughly two years ago. Since their debut, the tracked SUPER 1100-2 and SUPER 1300-2 pavers, as well as the wheeled SUPER 1103-2 and SUPER 1303-2 models, have gained a firm footing in jobs that call for a lean machine design with strong performance figures. These pavers thus fill the gap between the SUPER 700 and SUPER 800 mini pavers, and the large VÖGELE machines.
The only real difference between these pavers and the larger models in the VÖGELE range of products is their dimensions. Otherwise, they offer many of the same features that come as standard with the “dash 2” generation SUPER pavers, such as the innovative ErgoPlus® operating concept. Combined with an AB 340 Extending Screed with either vibrators or tamper and vibrators, the compact-size machines produce outstanding paving results. RoadNews accompanied the pavers on some typical jobs.

SUPER 1100-2 Paves Paths and Roadways
at New KLEEMANN Headquarters
A modern production facility for KLEEMANN mobile rock crushers and screens, as well as stationary plants, is currently under construction on a site covering 125,000m² in Göppingen, Germany. The project includes the reinstatement of existing roadways on the factory grounds and the building of new ones. This was clearly a job for a compact-size machine, as a number of areas called for paving between buildings and in tight bends. This prompted contractor Georg Eichele GmbH to opt for a SUPER 1100-2. And the paver performed excellently, placing 10cm base course and 4cm surface course for the paths and roadways on the new factory site.

SUPER 1300-2 Builds Farm Track with Numerous Tight Bends
The pavers of the VÖGELE compact equipment class are also in their element when it comes to building farm tracks. This was demonstrated in Mühlhausen near Wiesloch, Germany, where a SUPER 1300-2 was used to build a farm track running alongside some allotments. A grader first spread crushed stone. Then the SUPER 1300-2 came into play paving asphalt, 8cm thick, for combined base and surface course across a width of 3m. The VÖGELE machine even tackled the numerous tight bends with effortless ease. The paving team was particularly impressed by the AB 340 TV Extending Screed which easily paved the specified transverse slope, ranging between +3 and -3%, for the bends.

Reinstatement of Pathways Between Ancient Trees with SUPER 1300-2
For the reinstatement of pathways in the main cemetery of Karlsruhe, Germany, contractor Paschmann & Böss picked a VÖGELE SUPER 1300-2. This machine fulfilled all the client’s requirements: on the one hand, the paver needed compact dimensions to avoid damaging the ancient trees that line the pathway. On the other hand, it had to be equal to pave widths up to 4m. Once the old asphalt surfacing had been removed and the new granite kerbstones had been installed, the SUPER 1300-2 commenced paving perfectly between the kerbs. The compact-size paver placed 10cm base course and 4cm surface course across a width that varied from 2 to 4m. The paving team praised the machine’s outstanding ease of operation and excellent overview.

Pavement Rehabilitation on Bridge Deck, Lane-by-Lane,
with SUPER 1303-2
Ernst-Walz Bridge is one of three major bridges in Heidelberg, Germany, that cross the River Neckar and is one of the most important traffic links between the historic centre and the university campus at Neuenheimer Feld. As a result, the pavement on the bridge deck could only be rehabilitated lane-by-lane, with traffic being routed alongside the job site. Heidelberg Civil Engineering Office purchased its own wheeled VÖGELE SUPER 1303-2 for inner-city jobs in cramped conditions. The compact machine paved 4cm wearing course across varying widths ranging from 1.7 to 3.4m. The decision to purchase a wheeled paver was based primarily on the drive concept, which enables the machine to be moved quickly on the job site and permits rapid road transfer at up to 20km/h – a real advantage for the Civil Engineering Office as this eliminates the need for transport of the paver on a low-bed trailer.
