Range of more powerful pavers The SUPER 80 and SUPER 82 are superseded by the SUPER 140 and SUPER 142. With their more powerful drive and higher performance, these universal pavers can take up to 10 t more mix in their material hoppers than their predecessors, and can be operated from both sides of the operator's platform. They are equipped with either vibrators or tamper and vibrators. The SUPER 142 can also be retrofitted for paving mastic asphalt.
The SUPER 160 (tracked) and SUPER 164 (wheeled) so-called mid-range pavers for placing roller-compacted asphalt as well as lean-mixed concrete and mineral concrete, handle layer thicknesses of up to 30 cm at paving widths from 2 to 6 m (SUPER 164) and from 2 to 8 m (SUPER 160).

Top performance with the SUPER 2000 The SUPER 2000 sets new standards. This heavy-duty paver with fully hydrostatic drive is designed for jointless paving between 2.5 and 12.5 m wide and for laying crushed stone, mineral concrete, lean-mixed concrete and asphalt layers up to 30 cm thick. It is supplied with material quickly and easily. The SUPER 2000 combines a number of individual systems, such as spreader, paver and screed, and produces outstanding compaction and smoothness.

First pavers with traction main switch The SUPER 170 and SUPER 174 paver models with hydrostatic drive replace the SUPER 160 and SUPER 164 models. The innovation is the traction main switch: just a single rotary movement to brake or stop the paver. The System for Automated Grade and Slope Control is simultaneously locked and the screed unlocked. The latter comprises a 2.5 m-wide basic screed plus bolt-on extensions measuring 25, 50 and 100 cm.
More power, more precise control Production of the SUPER 1700 and SUPER 1704, both fully hydrostatic pavers, starts. Variants of the SUPER 170 and SUPER 174 pavers, they are mounted on the identical chassis, but with additional and more finely controlled power. Pave speed, conveyors and augers are infinitely and separately variable.

SUPER reformer In the SUPER 1700 ARF, VÖGELE launches a powerful reformer. Chassis, crawler tracks, screed and most of the drive unit have been adopted from the SUPER 1700. They are supplemented by an infrared heater with steering unit, propane gas supply, a scarifier and a spreader blade instead of an auger.

Innovation as standard VÖGELE's new Chairman of the Board of Directors, J. Heinrich Axer (Dr.-Ing.), sets up a separate Research and Development department. At the same time, production processes are made more flexible and turnaround times are reduced.
First extending screed VÖGELE presents the first extending screed worthy of the name at Bauma 1977 in Germany – its AB 475 Extending Screed. With its single-tube telescoping system, this screed can be infinitely extended from a basic width of 2.5 m up to 4.75 m. A second model, AB 575, handles infinitely variable paving widths from 3 to 5.75 m. With the aid of additional special bolt-on extensions, paving widths of up to 8 m can now be achieved by the large SUPER 1700 and SUPER 2000 pavers.

SUPER 1502 has new technical highlights VÖGELE presents the SUPER 1502 at the trade fair in Neumünster: the first paver running without a chain drive between the transmission axle and the drive wheels. Fully hydrostatic traction drive is delivered by a gantry-type axle with transmission and differential lock. Further highlights include a soundproofed engine hood, the ergonomic operator's platform and independently controlled conveyors, as well as a system to automatically lock the extending screed in place during transport.
