CAN YOU GIVE INFORMATION ABOUT TECHNICAL FEATURES OF MILLER FORMLESS SLIPFORM CONCRETE PAVERS?
Miller Formless provides various types of slipform concrete paving machines, so the features vary from product to product. The type of work a contractor performs will help determine which product will help them be successful. The most common features include John Deere engines in our M-series machines, a Kubota engine in our C-series machines as well as the MFSmart Control Stringless system in our M-series products. Stringless technology is an electronic tracking solution that controls both the horizontal and vertical operation of a slipform paver. More contractors are adopting stringless technology to reduce the labor and time required to stake out job sites with traditional stringlines and pins. Our slipform pavers are also engineered to handle tight radius pours; the M-1000, for instance, is very popular and can pour a radius as tight as 24 inches, or be used for straightaway slip forming. It features four tracks with independent steering, giving it the ability for quick turnaround and maneuvering. It has three vibrators, a heavy duty sectional auger and a high volume washdown system. The M-1000 can be ordered for left- or right-side pouring, and it is designed to give the operator visibility over the entire slipform process. With a transport width of 8 feet 6 inches and an operating weight of 21,000 pounds, this compact paver is fast and easy to transport from job to job.

HOW DOES THE MILLER FORMLESS SLIPFORM PAVER DIFFER FROM ITS COUNTERPARTS?
Backed by over half a century of manufacturing expertise, Miller Formless provides high-performing slipform paving solutions on projects around the globe. Our state-of-the-art equipment is proven to run optimally for decades, demonstrating reliability that is second to none. We also have fully trained product specialists with the knowledge and troubleshooting skills necessary to support successful outcomes on customers’ projects. Miller Formless’ automated slipform pavers feature a proven machine configuration that make these versatile systems ideal for jobs of all sizes. Robust engine power and hydraulics are perfectly matched to achieve maximum power output and minimum fuel consumption, boosting both productivity and cost-effectiveness. Other key differentiators include ease of operation and the sophisticated design of the operator station, which enhances safety, comfort and performance by improving air flow, temperature control, ergonomics and visibility. Historically, our machinery has relied on a four-track system to deliver superior stability during pours, but due to increasing market demand, we now also offer a three-track option. Three dimensional stringless controls, combined with 21st century smart sensors that automatically adjust the machine’s trajectory, help to ensure that concrete is accurately placed—even in tight-radii scenarios.
