The Basic Weight of your machine is ________lbs, assembled from ______ sections at the factory. Write the
basic weight of your machine into the Total Weight column on Page 2. Divide the Total Weight by 8 (the num-
ber of machine wheels) to get the weight per wheel on the Idler End and the Power Unit End of the machine.
Example:5762 lbs TOTAL WEIGHT / 8 = 720 lbs. Write the weight per wheel of your machine in the Idler End
and Power Unit End columns on Page 2.

hose)

Determine the number of each length and type of insert section that are going to be added to the basic
machine. Add the weights of those sections to get the total weight of extra sections. Example: (2) 6 Ft Sec-
tions with rail =1094 lbs Write this weight in the Total Weight column. Divide the total weight of the extra
inserts by the number of wheels (8) to determine weight per wheel on the Idler End and the Power Unit
End of the machine. Example 1094 lbs / 8 = 137 lbs PER WHEEL.
Weight of Machine Accessories (These weights take into consideration any basic machine parts
that the accessory replaced). Unfortunately, not all accessory weights are currently available. If
your accessory is not included in the list below, contact the Bidwell Service Department.

Determine the number of accessories being added to the basic machine. Add the additional weights of
those accessories. Example: Swing Legs, 480 lbs + Power Crown, 355 lbs = 835 lbs. Write this weight in
the , Weight column. Divide the total weight of the extra inserts by the number of wheels (8) to determine
weight per wheel on the Idler End and the Power Unit End of the machine. Example 835 lbs / 8 = 104 lbs
PER WHEEL

PAGE 1.8 SECTION I MODEL 4800 (2008)
Live Loads for 4800 Machines
The Paving Carriage, accessories and the operator are considered live loads because they move from
one end of the machine to the other. Therefore, it is necessary to figure that the entire weight of these live
loads will be carried by only one end of the machine at a time. The Basic Weight of the standard Paving
Carriage with Carriage Lift, Rota-Vibe and Drag Pan is listed below.
• 4800PavingCarriagewithDualRollers(GasolineEnginewithfullFuelTank) ...... 2552 lbs (1158
Kg)
• 4800PavingCarriagewithDualRollers(DieselEnginewithfullFuelTank).... 2652 lbs (1203 Kg)
The weight Per Wheel is the Basic Weight Assembled at Factory divided by the number of wheels at each
end of the machine. Write the weight of the basic carriage into the Total Weight column. Divide the total
weight by 4 to obtain the weight per wheel on the Idler End and the Power Unit End of the machine. Write the
wheel loads of your machine into the weight per wheel columns. Example: 2652 lbs / 4 = 663 lbs PER WHEEL.
Weight of Paving Carriage Accessories (These weights take into consideration any basic carriage
parts that the accessory replaced). Unfortunately, not all accessory weights are currently avail-
able. If your accessory is not included in the list below, contact the Bidwell Service Department.
Weight Transfer of Power Units with Diesel and Gasoline Engines
The graphs below list the additional weight that the Power Unit adds to the wheel load on the Power
Unit End of the machine. Graph A lists the weight to be deducted from the Idler End of the machine and
Graph B lists the weight to be added to the Power Unit End of the machine. The total weight of the Power
Unit is included in the basic machine weight. The longer the total length of the machine, the more the
Power Unit weight is transferred to the Power Unit End of the machine and away from the Idler End of the
machine. Consult the appropriate graph and determine the wheel loads for the idler end and the power
end of the machine. For example, using the diesel graphs, if the distance between screed rails is 36 feet
the pounds per wheel will be approximately 175 lbs per wheel on both the Idler End and on the Power
Unit End. Subtract 175 lbs per wheel from the Idler End and add 175 lbs per wheel to the Power Unit
End.
