GOMACO is building on the success of the GP360 and GP460, a combination concrete slipform pavers and placer/spreaders on two tracks.
This year at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026, GOMACO introduced the GP348 four-track for enhanced job site and job-to-job mobility. As a placer/spreader with a 48 in. belt, the GP348 will place at widths up to 36 ft. wide. As a concrete slipform paver, the GP348 will pave widths up to 30 ft. wide.
It’s built on the framework of the GOMACO four-track GP3 slipform paver with the ability to convert the prime mover into a concrete placer/spreader. The prime mover is equipped with vibrator circuits for paving and auger drive circuits for placing. Controlling the new technology is made possible with the GOMACO G+ digital control system.
G+ handles the controls conversion needed for each application while also bringing on board machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, sonic sensors, 3D machine guidance and more. Rotary-sensored slew drives on its leg pivots work with the G+ control system. Operators can automate transitions from transport to paving mode, reducing setup time and improving efficiency, according to GOMACO.
Its four-track design enhances stability and on-site maneuverability, while its compact transport footprint allows it the capability to be hauled on a single semi-tractor trailer (either as a placer or paver), minimizing downtime between pours.
The GOMACO GP348 is powered by a Caterpillar C7.1 turbocharged diesel engine, which drives the conveyor belt and distributes concrete across the grade. The 48 in. conveyor belt can be mounted on either the left or right side, depending on jobsite conditions and the location of the haul road. It has a discharge speed of up to 491.5 ft./min. for fast and efficient concrete placement.
A controllable material deflector directs the flow of concrete at the discharge end of the conveyor for placement accuracy. A dual-drive auger system moves the material to the center or outer areas and across the strike-off.
The GP348 is available with an optional sonic sensor system to monitor the concrete depth as it is placed. Information from the sonic sensors is used by the G+ control system on the paver using M2M communication to provide an optimum and consistent head of concrete in front of the paver.
The GP348 placer/spreader slipform paver made its world debut at ConExpo-Con/AGG 2026 in Las Vegas, Nev. It was part of GOMACO’s display of 13 pieces of equipment showcasing the company’s full line of concrete paving and support equipment.
