A road finishing machine is described having a screed embodied or configured to produce a road pavement and having a heating device with multiple heating elements. The road finishing machine may furthermore include at least one generator for supplying the heating device with electrical power. The road finishing machine moreover has a controlling system embodied or configured to activate the generator. The heating elements each have at least one temperature sensor employed for detecting a malfunction occurring thereat. The disclosure furthermore relates to a method for detecting a malfunction of a heating element installed within a screed of a road finishing machine.

The present disclosure refers to a road construction machine in the form of a road finisher or a feeder vehicle with a chassis and a driver's cab with a vehicle roof. According to the disclosure, one or more luggage nets are attached to the vehicle roof of the road construction machine.

A paving machine includes a mold coupled to a telescopic frame member, by which the mold side-shifts relative to a main frame. A tight clearance between the paving machine and a surface being paved may be achieved by the ability to side-shift the mold. The paving machine may also include a number of vibrator motors. A flow to the vibrator motors may be controllable by a manifold controller. The manifold controller is located on an end of the telescopic frame member. By locating the manifold controller on the telescopic frame member, an operator of the paving machine may both stand on the telescopic frame member to watch the paving mold and adjust the settings of the vibrator controller. This is advantageous in allowing the operator to achieve proper concrete consolidation by visual feedback without leaving the telescopic frame member.
