A constant supply of mix is essential for producing a level, high-quality pavement. That's why VÖGELE developed the PaveDock Assistant for their “Dash 3” generation of pavers. This exceedingly efficient system greatly facilitates communication between the paver operator and the driver of the feed vehicle, and it ensures that the mix is supplied to the paver safely and without jolts.
Signal lights on the paver and the associated controls on the paver operator’s ErgoPlus 3 console are key components of the PaveDock Assistant. The paver has two sets of signal lights, mounted on the left and right of the hardtop. With these lights, the paver operator can give the driver of the feed vehicle unmistakable signals to indicate what needs to be done (e.g. reverse, stop, dump mix, etc.). Having two lights, each in an elevated position, ensures that all signals are clearly visible to the feed vehicle driver from all angles of approach.
