Vision series of asphalt pavers from Vogele includes two tracked machines and two wheeled models, one each at 8- and 10-foot widths. The series was designed around forward and all-around visibility, allowing the operator to see the sides, the hopper and the conveyors in the back. Sloped design aids that visibility, but swing-out operator stations on both sides and sliding control console enables the operator to place himself where he can best see. Other improvements include a display panel for monitoring fluid levels and inspection points, and a hydraulic front apron is available as an option. Apron prevents forward spillage of the mix, which elimates much shoveling in front of the paver. Estimated list price: $325,000 to $400,000.
