enhances job-site productivity, speed and quality. Steering controls turn a smooth radius as tight as 24 inch-
es eliminating time-consuming hand forming. The LBC-24W is designed to cost-effectively slipform curbs
and gutters, alley ribbons and sidewalks. The hydrostatic variable speed drive, superior visibility and elec-
tronic controls enable a one person operation. The LBC-24W can be used on soil or pavement using a
string line or manual controls. Pouring molds can be replaced quickly and easily with the quick-change mold
system.
