Screed legend at a new level

New SUPER 1800-5(i):

Vögele has integrated its most versatile and successful road paver in the new Dash 5 generation. Why is the SUPER 1800 class so popular among road construction professionals the world over? When was the first representative unveiled? And what does the new SUPER 1800-5(i) offer? The key facts about the successful model at a glance.

Tried and tested for more than 30 years

Back to 1988: More than 30 years ago,Vögele presents the first SUPER 1800, thereby making the start to an unmatched success story. The compact and extremely versatile road paver is suitable for use in inner-city areas as well as at airports or on motorways and is being continuously enhanced. It forms the basis for the first specialized machines, which Vögelepresents a few years later and are far ahead of their time: The first spray paver SUPER 1800 SF and the first diesel-/electricity-powered SUPER 1800 DE with 50% less fuel consumption and 50% fewer emissions.

1992

On the base of the SUPER 1800 Vögele develops the first spray paver SUPER 1800 SF and the diesel-/electricity-powered SUPER 1800 DE, which is honored with the innovation award and the “Blue Angel” seal.

2003

In the Dash 1 family and the SUPER 1800-1, Vögele presents a uniform paver concept for the first time.

2007

Vögele presents the Dash 2 generation with the SUPER 1800-2, a special slope paver and a new spray paver, the SUPER 1800-2 SprayJet.

2011

With the Dash 3 generation, the SUPER 1800-3,Vögele increasingly opts for user friendliness, intuitive handling and sustainabilty.

2024

The SUPER 1800-5 sets new standards and offers customers clever automatic functions, even more convenience and an optimized drive.

From Dash 1 to Dash 5

With its Dash 1 generation, Vögele develops a standardized paver concept in 2003 that places greater emphasis on customer, service and maintenance friendliness. The second generation, the SUPER 1800-2, is equipped with the ErgoPlus operating concept for the first time, which is successfully rolled out across all models and today fulfills all requirements for interconnected road construction. The Dash 3 generation drives economic efficiency, user-friendliness and sustainability. Vögele takes two steps ahead with the Dash 5 family: The new SUPER 1800-5(i) combines its enormous range of applications and high performance with clever automatic functions, even more user comfort and a particularly economical and quiet drive.

Popular all-rounder

What makes the SUPER-1800 class so successful? Road builders all over the world rely on the Universal Class representative. Like no other paver type, this model combines compact dimensions, high performance and an extremely wide range of applications: With a length of 6.15 m, an engine performance of 129 kW, a paving capacity of up to 700 t/h and paving widths between 2.55 and 10 m, the paver is suitable both for city center measures and for major projects such as motorways and runways. “The SUPER-1800 class has always been an absolute all-rounder, making it the key machine for road construction companies implementing small and major projects,” says Bastian Fleischer, Product Manager Vögele. “Thanks to its high performance and versatility, the paver is also the basis for our specialized machines such as the Sprayjet or the InLine Pave-process paver.

The new generation

The new SUPER 1800-5(i) combines the huge range of applications and powerful performance with the trailblazing technologies of the Dash 5 generation. They include new assistance and automatic systems, an enhanced operating concept, improved material management, a sustainable drive concept, numerous new comfort features and a new lighting concept for the control station and illumination of the work area. Like all the latest-generation road pavers, the SUPER 1800-5(i) thereby combines user-friendliness, automation, economic viability and sustainability.

SUPER1800-5i: Paver Access Control

New automatic functions

Niveltronic Plus Assist automates the paving of both crown and transverse profiles. Users simply specify the incline of a target point and the machine takes over by gradually approaching this value. This means users no longer need to gradually adjust the incline by hand. The screed width can also be automatically controlled along a tensioned wire with the new Edge Control system. The automatic screed width function ensures that the edge and pave width of the screed remain constant when there is no tensioned wire at an exit or entrance.

New operating concept ErgoPlus 5

The driver's control console offers an improved overview, more comfort, ergonomics and all the prerequisites for networked road construction. Vögele has simplified the operation of individual functions, improved the design, reduced the construction height to increase legroom and integrated additional storage options for mobile phones or similar. The optional ‘Premium Touch’ display screen allows users to easily monitor and control existing and future digital solutions.

Improved convenience

The Dash 5 generation is also two steps ahead in terms of ergonomics: With a pivot-mounted driver's seat, two-stage seat heating, more headroom, insulated sunshades, luggage nets and cup holders, the new road pavers are consistently geared towards the needs of users. This makes paving even more convenient, ergonomic and safe – even on hot or cold days.

More safety:

Paver Access Control (PAC) allows users to operate the SUPER 1800-5(i) from the ground at the touch of a button. The control unit placed on the screed plate can be used to control all the initial steps safely and conveniently. The optional Light Package Plus provides additional safety and reduces set-up times on night construction sites. The LED beamers are integrated into the hardtop structure and light up the whole operating width of the paver and screed area.

SUPER1800-5i: Optimized drive

Optimized drive

Even without the new functions, the SUPER 1800-5(i) scores well, with reduced consumption and reduced CO₂ and noise emissions. The new four-cylinder motor consumes significantly less at the same power. This is primarily due to the optimized Vögele EcoPlus low-emissions package. In particular, the speed-controlled fan has been optimized to calculate the rpm even more accurately and, in conjunction with other measures, substantially reduce noise emissions.

SUPER1800-5i: Improved material management

Improved material management

Vögele has overhauled the material handling control system: the auger and conveyors now communicate with one another, ensuring that material feed is even more consistent and accurately coordinated. This avoids load peaks, saves fuel, enables an optimum head of mix, and so uninterrupted paving. The optional Power Tunnel also ensures an optimum material height in front of the screed plate. The retraction and extension of the limiting plates for the auger tunnel can be controlled at the same time as the screed width adjustment.

Optimum pre-compaction

The new SUPER 1800-5(i) achieves optimum pre-compaction in conjunction with the AB 500 und AB 600 Dash 5 extending screeds or with SB 300 fixed-width screed. The hydraulic tamper height adjustment ensures excellent paving quality and reduced set-up times. The Dual Power Shift Tamper enables operators to set the tamper stroke very easily at the touch of a button. Compared to mechanical adjustment, this saves a lot of time and is very practical, especially with changing layer thicknesses. A new guide and positioning system for fitting screed wideners and more efficient heating of the compacting systems also significantly reduce set-up times. Vögele has also achieved substantial noise level reductions through structural optimisations.
