The 8-ft. tracked Vision 5100-2 paver is 18 ft. 2 in. long and permits 8 to 15 ft. of paving width. It provides operators the ability to perform jobs ranging from large highway projects to suburban streets. It features both large fuel capacity (60 gal.) and cooler operating temperatures. The machine's independent auger and conveyor drive are equipped with four sensors, and the outer center conveyor drive has narrow center chain guards for more efficient feeding and for reduced centerline segregation.

The Apollo ll pavement marker with the PlusOne Speedmelter is used in stand-alone operations and is designed to melt and apply more than 1,500 sq. ft. of markings in a normal workday without separate melting kettles.

Designed for asphalt road repairs, the hybrid pothole patcher features an electric hybrid generator and battery system that improves fuel economy and reduces harmful emissions. At the jobsite, the engine is shut off, and the patching equipment runs off the hybrid battery. Fuel consumption may be reduced 30% to 60%. It features an insulated and heated asphalt box that allows highway and street departments year-round patching. PB Patchers are available in truck-mounted, trailer-mounted, hookup and slip-in models.
