What the specifications mean
Transport dimensions apply to the SE47 V screed with the specified equipment stowed. Hopper-open width and extended paving width are working dimensions, not alternative shipping values.
Choose a screed and extension setup for the actual paving width and material process. A maximum width figure alone does not establish the finished mat quality or the project’s production rate.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used AP555 inspection priorities
- Inspect screed plates, extension fit, heating operation and adjustment mechanisms using the manufacturer’s inspection procedure.
- Check conveyors, augers, hopper surfaces and material-handling wear along with track-system condition.
- Review control and leveling-system equipment, service records and a representative paving demonstration where available.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Price screed, conveyor and auger wear together with any required control-system setup.
- Include paving width, truck supply and crew workflow in utilization assumptions; idle time waiting for material still consumes the working day.

- Extensions
- Heating system
- Compaction arrangement
A model specification does not establish compatibility with a particular attachment or option.
