VÖGELE SUPER 1603-2 - The Advantages at a Glance


Innovative paver technology is not a matter of size. Take the wheeled VÖGELE SUPER 1603-2 as an excellent example. As a member of the „dash-2“ paver family, the machine gives a totally new definition of the technology nowadays found in pavers of the compact equipment class. Among its true highlights is ErgoPlus®, the VÖGELE concept for paver handling. Thanks to ErgoPlus®, operators have never had it so good in terms of simplicity and ease of operation. Operators enjoy a modern workplace of ergonomic design leaving nothing to be desired.

Its compact size confers upon the wheeled SUPER 1603-2 high mobility, thus opening up a wide range of most varied paving applications. SUPER 1603-2 can be combined with a screed featuring the full package of VÖGELE high compaction technology to achieve excellent levels of density.

  • Travel speed up to 20km/h
  • Powerful PERKINS engine rated at 100 kW
  • Comes with ErgoPlus®, the concept for easy paver handling
  • Hardtop with wide sunshades


Economical Drive System

  • Powerful PERKINS engine developing 100 kW at just 2,000 rpm. The low-noise engine stands out through high efficiency and eco-friendliness. It complies with the stringent requirements of exhaust standards COM 3a and EPA.
  • Different speed ranges are available which select conveniently at the push of a button (MIN, ECO Mode, MAX).
  • ECO Mode (95 kW at 1,800 rpm) is sufficient for many paving applications. Working in ECO Mode further decreases engine noise emission, reduces fuel consumption and wear.
  • A constant pave speed is one of the crucial factors when it comes to achieving excellent pavement quality. Electronic engine management, installed in the SUPER 1603-2, ensures a consistent engine output to match demand.
  • Engine throttle control helps save fuel as it automatically revs down your engine during a break in paving. When resuming work, engine rpm is reset automatically to the preset range (ECO Mode or MAX).
  • Powerful three-phase A.C. generator with generator management controlling generator output in compliance with your pave width. Heating the screed’s compacting systems to operating temperature takes a short time only.
  • Thanks to a large cooler assembly with innovative air routing, perfect cooling of engine cooling liquid, hydraulic oil and charge air. Noise emission is very low.
  • A constantly high cooling capacity provides for ideal temperatures inside the hydraulic system and top performance of all drive units even when working under full load and at high ambient temperatures up to 50° C.
  • For hydraulic functions, powerful separate drives are installed operating in closed circuits, thus delivering highest output. This way, the transfer gearbox translates engine power into hydraulic paver performance with excellent efficiency.

Mobility on Wheels

  • Small turning radius (outside) of just 6.5m allows easy and quick manoeuvring even in tight corners.
  • Maximum power transmission thanks to separate, hydraulic drives provided for the rear wheels. Two powered front wheels available as an option.
  • Electronic Traction Management guarantees optimum tractive effort and protects the engine against overload.
  • Permanent ground contact due to front wheels with proven, statically defined three-point support.
  • Travels rapidly on roads (up to 20km/h) and moves quickly on the job site.
  • Thanks to its compact design, trucking is easy. Little space required for transport cuts down on haulage cost.

Large Material Hopper and Easy Feed with Mix

  • The large material hopper holding 13 tonnes is amply dimensioned so that a sufficient quantity of mix is stored at all times. No problem to tide over difficult situations such as paving under bridges, for instance.
  • Easy feed with mix thanks to low material hopper, wide hopper sides and sturdy rubber baffles fitted to the hopper front.
  • Large oscillating push-rollers for convenient and shock-free docking of feed vehicles.
  • Thanks to a hydraulically operated hopper front (option), no spills of mix when feed lorries change. Directs the mix inside the material hopper right onto the conveyors, so no hand work with shovels required. The entirety of mix is properly conveyed in front of the screed.

Optimal Flow of Mix in Front of the Screed

  • Powerful, separate hydraulic drives for conveyors and augers are installed achieving laydown rates up to 600 tonnes/h.
  • Proportional control and continuous monitoring provided for conveyors and augers guarantee a constant head of mix in front of the screed in conformity with the requirement.
  • Augers complete with bearing boxes and limiting plates for the auger tunnel are infinitely variable in height up to 20cm.
  • Due to auger height adjustment, optimal spreading of mix even when paving thin layers or on sections where layer thickness varies.
  • Large diameter of auger blades (400mm) for excellent spreading of mix when paving in large widths.

Maintenance Made Easy

  • A wide engine hood and large hinged panels give convenient access to service points on the machine.
  • All hydraulic pumps attached to the transfer gearbox. Their clear arrangement and easy access provides for service-friendliness at the highest level.
  • Centralized lubrication system installed to automatically supply required amounts of grease to bearings of conveyors and augers.
  • Sturdy components of highly wear-resistant materials for long service lives minimize downtime.
  • A uniform service concept for all VÖGELE pavers simplifies maintenance and cuts expenditure on training.
