Abstract
A system and assembly including a modular edge compaction wheel with multiple separable sections to form edges of a substrate (e.g., an asphalt mat) at differing depths. After forming a portion of the substrate edge at an initial depth, sections of the modular edge compaction wheel assembly may be attached by stacking and fastening the sections together for forming another portion of the substrate edge at a greater depth. The edge forming assembly may include an activating mechanism to extend and retract the modular edge compaction wheel assembly.
Claims20
A system for an asphalt compactor comprising:
- an edge forming assembly, including a modular edge compaction wheel assembly configured to compact an edge of an asphalt mat as the asphalt compactor travels over the asphalt mat,
- wherein the modular edge compaction wheel assembly includes a plurality of sections, each section configured to compact the edge of the asphalt mat at differing depths when stacked together.
A modular edge compaction wheel assembly configured to compact an edge of an asphalt mat during travel over the asphalt mat, the modular edge compaction wheel assembly comprising:
- a plurality of sections, each section configured to compact the edge of the asphalt mat at differing depths when stacked together.
