A screed assembly, for a paving machine, may include a frame, a main screed and a screed plate. Additionally, the screed assembly may include an overload support system mounted on the screed assembly. Further, the overload support system may be configured to contact the surface extending beneath the screed assembly and to support the screed assembly during transport on the surface.

A road construction machine in the form of a road finisher or feeder vehicle comprising an operator stand with a floor surface as a tread surface and a cooling system for producing a mist from a cooling agent. The cooling system comprises a tank for receiving the cooling agent and a spray apparatus for nebulizing the cooling agent into a mist. The cooling system is configured to produce the mist in the area of the operator stand, and the spray apparatus is arranged thereby at a height of at least 1.7 m above the tread surface.

A self-propelled ground milling machine, in particular a road milling machine, a stabilizer or a recycler, comprising a machine frame borne by traveling devices, a ground milling device mounted on the machine frame having a milling drum box and a milling drum which can be rotated within the milling drum box about a rotation axis running transverse to a main working direction of the ground milling machine, and an operator platform from which the ground milling machine is operated by an operator, having an operator platform floor on which the operator can stand while operating the ground milling machine, having a main floor plate. What is now essential according to the invention is that, in addition to the main floor plate, a side floor plate is provided which can be pivoted about a vertical axis or can be adjusted along a horizontal adjustment axis, and by means of which the standing area of the operator platform can be varied.

A roller tube concrete finishing machine includes retractable vibration gangs that can be selectively immersed within wet concrete and then retracted with parallelogram linkage. Spaced-apart, drive parallel rollers are journaled between frame ends for supporting and propelling the machine upon and between parallel form rails. A front roller provide a strike-off function. The vibration gangs are deployed by a retractable, parallelogram linkage that moves them forwardly and downwardly for operation, or which retracts the vibrators inwardly and upwardly relative to the frame. When the vibrators are retracted, the are withdrawn upwardly from the concrete and retracted rearwardly towards the machine front to reduce machine dimensions. Substantial retraction of the vibrators prevents subsequent interference with the rebar below. Vibrator retraction reduces overall machine dimensions for clearance and shipping purposes, with gang vibration arrays nested upwardly and inwardly proximate the front of the machine.

Soil compactor including a compaction drum rotatably supported by a compaction roller frame, wherein the compaction drum frame comprises two longitudinal members arranged in a direction longitudinal to the compactor on both sides of the compaction roller and supporting said compaction roller, and, connecting the two longitudinal members together, two cross members arranged in a direction perpendicular to the compactor and along both sides of the compaction roller, wherein the compaction roller frame is connected to a compactor main frame via one of the two cross members, and wherein at least one sight opening is provided within the other of the two cross members.

The disclosure relates to a road finishing machine having a chassis, a material bunker for receiving paving material located at the front in the paving direction of the road finishing machine, and a screed for compacting paving material located at the rear in the paving direction of the road finishing machine. On a driver stand of the road finishing machine, a main control platform with primary operational controls is provided for controlling working components of the road finishing machine. The primary operational controls may be actuated by an operator located on the road finishing machine. An operation unit with a plurality of secondary operational controls is provided laterally at the chassis or the material bunker.

A milling machine includes a frame, a plurality of wheels or track members coupled to the frame, a moldboard movably coupled to the frame, a first rotor, and a second rotor. The first rotor is rotatably coupled to the frame. The second rotor is positioned to the rear of the first rotor and rotatably coupled to the moldboard.

The present invention relates to a self-propelled earth working machine (10) for removing material and/or changing a density of ground material and/or changing a ground surface (AO) and/or applying material onto a ground area (U), the earth working machine (10) comprising: a machine frame (12), a traveling gear (22) supporting the machine frame (12), a working apparatus (32) for earth working, a power source (39) for supplying power to at least one functional module, comprising the working apparatus (32) and a travel drive, the earth working machine (10) comprising an operator's platform (24) having a canopy (44) having a variable canopy area (54).
The invention provides for the canopy area (54) to be variable in the longitudinal machine direction (L).

The road finisher comprises a material hopper for receiving paving material, a screed for compacting paving material, and a main control stand which provides an operating location for an operator on the road finisher. The main control stand comprises a floor area. The road finisher comprises a lighting unit. The lighting unit is no more than 140 cm higher with respect to a vertical direction than the floor area of the main control stand. The lighting unit is arranged such that at least 60 percent of the light output emitted by the lighting unit during operation falls onto the floor area of the main control stand.

A step assembly may include a first step support member and a second step support member to be connected to a screed frame, and a step frame movably connected to the first step support member and the second step support member. The step frame may be movably connected to the first step support member by a first pin engaged with the first step support member and a slot of the step frame. The step frame may be movably connected to the second step support member by a second pin engaged with the second step support member and an aperture of the step frame. The step frame may be biased to a position relative the first step support member and the second step support member by a first biasing member and a second biasing member.
