Abstract
A self-climbing screed system for use with a self-climbing boom system that includes a mast that has a tower and a rail that is connected to an outer surface of the tower, extends along a length of the tower, and has spaced holes, includes a screed. The screed includes a turntable configured to be positioned around the mast, the turntable being mountable to and dismountable from the mast, a screed boom having a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end being connected to the turntable, and a screed head connected to the distal end of the screed boom.
