A road paver or a feeder having a chassis driven by a drive unit, and a material hopper arranged in the working direction at the front of the road paver or the feeder, the material hopper having a hopper side wall extending in the working direction and a discharge flap tiltable about a pivot axis extending transversely to the working direction, the discharge flap comprising a flap base and a flap side wall which extends next to the hopper side wall and is fixed to the flap base and supported to be moveable relative to the hopper side wall, a protective cover, which at least partially engages around the edge of the flap side wall, being arranged on the hopper side wall.

A road finisher includes a screed plate extending at right angles to the working direction of the road finisher, a tamper bar disposed rearwardly and/or forwardly of the screed plate in the working direction, wherein at least one electrically operated heating element is configured to heat up a heating surface facing a road subsurface, the heating element comprising a heating layer at least partially obtained through thermal spraying onto a substrate surface, and a piston rod with connecting means to a tamper bar drive. The tamper bar is connected to the piston rod with an upper surface of the tamper bar contacting a lower surface of the piston rod, wherein the piston rod is single-pieced with regard to its connecting means and its lower surface, and the heating layer is located between the piston rod and the tamper bar, especially applied to the lower surface of the piston rod.

Methods and systems for making and using a wide swath offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry. The apparatus includes a cross support bar, an attachment mechanism for attaching the cross support bar to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle, and lateral support bars for attaching a screed bar to the cross support bar. The screed bar is positioned offset from the motorized vehicle used to operate the screed, allowing the motorized vehicle to drive outside the forms.

Methods and systems for making and using a wide swath offset concrete screed apparatus for screeding wet concrete slurry. The apparatus includes a cross support bar, an attachment mechanism for attaching the cross support bar to a liftable arm of a motorized vehicle, and a roller screed attached to the cross support bar. The roller screed is positioned offset from the motorized vehicle used to operate the screed, allowing the motorized vehicle to drive outside the forms.

An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface includes a frame assembly having a front end and rear ends and a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs supporting a generally horizontal front member. An extendable boom assembly is provided having front and rear ends, and an exterior boom section pivotably secured to the frame assembly proximate said rear end. The extendable boom assembly is also adjustably mounted on said front member to allow generally lateral motion of the boom.

A slope trimming attachment includes a base, a first cutting device, a leveling mechanism and a turning mechanism. The first cutting device and the leveling mechanism are respectively arranged on the turning mechanism. The turning mechanism is rotatably arranged on the base and is configured to be able to adjust an angle of the cutting surface of the first cutting device relative to the slope surface and an angle of the leveling surface of the leveling mechanism relative to the slope surface through rotation. A working machine with the disclosed slope trimming attachment is not only convenient to operate, but also realizes the simultaneous execution of cutting, leveling and compacting operations on the slope surface, improves the construction efficiency of the slope surface trimming, and thereby ensuring the construction quality.

A road finisher comprising a screed plate extending at right angles to the working direction of the road finisher, and a tamper bar disposed rearwardly and/or forwardly of the screed plate in the working direction, wherein at least one electrically operated heating element is present, which is configured so as to heat up a heating surface facing a road subsurface, and wherein the heating element comprises a heating layer at least partially obtained through thermal spraying onto a substrate surface, wherein the tamper bar is made from two parts with an upper tamper bar member and a lower tamper bar member assembled together. Further, a tamper bar for a road finisher and a method of manufacturing a tamper bar are provided.

A screeding system for use with a screeding machine during screeding of an uncured concrete surface includes a base unit, a support arm extending from the base unit, and an elevation frame disposed at an outer end of the support arm. The elevation frame comprises elevation actuators at opposite ends thereof. A screed head includes a support frame that is pivotally mounted at lower ends of the elevation actuators. The support frame supports an auger, a plow and a vibrating member. A pair of actuators extend and retract to rotate the support frame about an axis parallel to an auger axis. The actuators adjust the support frame and screed head between a screeding orientation and a cleaning orientation. Responsive to a user input, the actuators rotate the support frame to the cleaning orientation, whereby the support frame rotates at least 60 degrees about the axis.
