FAQ

What engine powers the 2006 Power Curber 5700-B? +

The 5700-B is equipped with a Deutz diesel engine producing 133 horsepower. This represents a 50% increase in power over the previous model, providing significantly more capability for trimming and pouring operations. The Deutz engine is known for reliability and adequate power for high-production curb and gutter work.

What are the machine's physical dimensions and weight? +

The Power Curber 5700-B measures approximately 20 feet in length, 8.5 feet in width, and 8.5 feet in height in transport configuration. The machine weighs approximately 24,000 pounds. These compact dimensions allow it to navigate tight jobsites like parking lot corners and cul-de-sacs while remaining transportable on standard lowboy trailers.

What is the maximum paving width this 2006 Power Curber 5700 B can handle? +

The 2006 Power Curber 5700 B can slipform sidewalks up to 6 feet wide in the offset position and center-pour applications up to 8 feet wide. For curb and gutter work, it handles standard profiles easily. The machine can also pour highway barriers and parapets up to 4 feet tall, making it versatile for multiple applications beyond typical curb work.

What types of concrete work can the 2006 Power Curber 5700 B perform? +

This machine is designed for curb and gutter, monolithic curb-gutter-sidewalk, sidewalks, highway barriers, bridge parapets, irrigation ditches, stadium risers, and center-pour applications for golf cart paths or bicycle lanes. The interchangeable mold system with quick-connect capability allows rapid switching between different profiles, making it a true multi-purpose slipformer.

How does the auger conveyor system work? +

The 2006 Power Curber 5700 B features a cast auger conveyor system that replaced traditional belt conveyors in earlier models. This hydrostatic, direct-drive auger moves concrete faster, provides better mixing, and can hold sufficient material (approximately one cubic yard) to pour tight radius work without repositioning the ready-mix truck. The auger pivots, tilts, and slides hydraulically for various jobsite arrangements.

What is the hydraulic mold offset feature? +

The hydraulic offset allows the machine to maneuver around obstructions like catch basins, utility covers, or valve boxes without stopping production. This reduces hand tie-ins from 10-15 feet down to about 2 feet, significantly improving efficiency. The machine can shift laterally while maintaining grade and slope accuracy, eliminating costly manual concrete work around obstacles.

Is this 2006 Power Curber 5700 B suitable for residential subdivision work? +

Yes, the 2006 Power Curber 5700 B is excellent for residential developments. Its compact size allows navigation in tight cul-de-sacs and narrow streets. The three-crawler track system with 12-inch steel track shoes provides stability on unfinished grade conditions typical of new subdivisions. The machine’s ability to pour monolithic curb, gutter, and sidewalk in one pass makes it highly efficient for residential projects.

Can it handle commercial and highway projects? +

Absolutely. The 2006 Power Curber 5700 B’s 133 HP engine and robust construction make it capable of high-production commercial work. It can slipform highway barriers, median barriers, and bridge parapets up to 48 inches tall. The increased horsepower and heavier crawler frame compared to earlier models allow it to handle demanding highway specifications and long production runs.

How does production compare to hand-forming methods? +

Users report tripling normal day’s production compared to hand-forming. The machine typically reduces crew size from 7 workers behind the machine down to 4, while simultaneously increasing linear feet poured per day. The continuous slipforming process eliminates forming, stripping, and the delays associated with traditional methods.

What are the primary maintenance requirements of 2006 Power Curber 5700 B? +

Regular maintenance includes daily engine checks, hydraulic fluid level monitoring, track tension adjustments, and mold cleaning. Engine oil changes follow Deutz specifications (typically every 250-500 hours). The direct-drive auger conveyor requires less maintenance than belt systems but needs periodic inspection of bearings and seals. Vibrator systems should be checked for proper amplitude and mounting security.

Are parts readily available for a 2006 model? +

Yes, Power Curbers (located in Salisbury, North Carolina) maintains parts support for all 5700-B machines. The 2006 Power Curber 5700 B production run from the mid-1990s through 2006 means there’s a large installed base and strong aftermarket parts availability. Deutz engines have excellent parts networks through multiple distributors. Many wear components like mold parts, auger sections, and hydraulic components are standardized across the 5700 series.

What is the expected service life? +

With proper maintenance, the 2006 Power Curber 5700 B can provide 15-20+ years of service. The main structural components are very durable. Engine rebuilds are typically needed around 10,000-15,000 hours. Hydraulic system components may require rebuilding around 8,000-12,000 hours. The crawler tracks and drive systems are heavy-duty and long-lasting with proper tension maintenance and lubrication.

What equipment is needed to transport this 2006 Power Curber 5700 B? +

A standard lowboy or step-deck trailer with minimum 25-30 ton capacity is required. At 24,000 pounds and 8.5 feet wide, the machine falls within standard over-the-road dimensions in most jurisdictions without requiring special permits. The three-crawler design allows the machine to load and unload itself using ramps. Some operators use tilt-bed trailers for easier loading.

What operator training is required for 2006 Power Curber 5700 B? +

Operating a slipform curber requires specialized training beyond general construction equipment experience. Power Curbers offers factory training programs covering setup, operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance. New operators should expect 1-2 weeks of hands-on training with an experienced operator before running production independently. Understanding concrete mix requirements, stringline setup, and grade control is essential.

What are the main limitations of the 2006 Power Curber 5700 B compared to newer models? +

The 2006 Power Curber 5700 B uses analog controls rather than the digital networked controls found on later 5700-C and 5700-D models. It lacks 3D/stringless paving capability without aftermarket additions. The maximum offset width of 6 feet and center-pour width of 8 feet are less than the 5700-C-MAX package. It doesn’t have the automated slope control or SmartAmps technology of newer models. However, for contractors doing traditional curb and gutter work with stringline, the 5700-B remains highly capable and represents excellent value in the used equipment market compared to six-figure prices for new machines.
