The extending screed for all Dash 3 pavers of the 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) class. The AB 500 can be combined with all Dash 3 pavers of the 2.5 meter (8.2 ft) class. With its infinitely adjustable single-tube telescoping system, this screed covers a virtually unlimited spectrum of applications with paving widths ranging from 2.55 meters (8.37 ft) to 5 meters (16.4 ft), and even to 8.5 meters (28.7 ft) with bolt-on extensions.
The AB 500 is available with tamper and vibrators as well as in two versions for high compaction (with tamper and one or two pressure bars) or, alternatively, in the TP2 Plus version for particularly high compaction.
