The GP4 is also said to be easy to transport as the operator can put the machine into the special mode by turning the legs around. When the tracks are in the transport position, the machine can be loaded onto a trailer for haulage to the next site.
The G+ Connect package meanwhile allows all the smart accessories and guidance systems for the GOMACO paver to be easily interfaced. The user can link up with the customer’s own choice of 3D guidance system, whether from Leica Geosystems, Topcon or Trimble. The G+ Connect system also allows the customer to use an IDBI, tie bar inserter (TBI), power transition adjuster (PTA), GOMACO Smoothness Indicator.
Other sophisticated features of the GP4 include the latest telematics and remote diagnostics technology. GOMACO Remote Diagnostics (GRD) is now well proven and allows customers to track when, and where equipment is being used. The system also provides full diagnostics visibility for the machine at GOMACO’s headquarters, at the customer’s workshop, or on the job site.
The system can transmit G+ settings, configuration and fault history for fast diagnosis. It also allows software updates, fleet management and service indicators.
