TOPPING SPREADER FOR DISPENSING SHAKE-ON AGGREGATE COMPOSITION ONTO A CONCRETE SURFACE

A topping spreader machine for dispensing topping material onto a concrete surface includes a base unit and a topping spreading head assembly movably mounted at the base unit. The topping spreading head assembly includes (i) a bin that holds topping material, (ii) a distributing device that distributes the topping material along the length of the bin, (iii) a dispenser disposed along a lower portion of the bin for dispensing the topping material, and (iv) a sensor for sensing elevation of the topping spreading head assembly above the concrete surface. The topping spreading head assembly is positionable at a starting location and is movable over the concrete surface in a topping direction from the starting location to dispense the topping material onto the concrete surface, and a control system controls elevation actuators responsive to the sensor to maintain the height of the topping spreading head assembly above the concrete surface.
