TRAILrider Installation
The TRAILrider is loaded directly from the concrete truck and pulled. The weight of the concrete in the "hopper" compacts while extruded concrete is placed as the TRAILrider is pulled. High or low ruts in the base are leveled via the front grade screed to give a smooth, even concrete depth. The unit follows directly behind the tow vehicle and will even track straight at heavy angles. Once perfected the unit can empty trucks in minutes with only minor touch-ups before it can be covered or tooled.
