OMNEX wireless technology controls GOMACO’s GT-3400, making it the first remote controlled curb and gutter machine available on the market.

Co-developed under private label by OMNEX, GOMACO’s new GT-3400 remote controlled curb and gutter machine gives machine operators complete freedom to run their machine wirelessly, from a safe, advantageous vantage point.

The GT-3400’s notable control feature, OMNEX’s ‘portable wireless dashboard’, allows an operator to strap on and carry his dashboard with him as he works, providing a functional and 100% reliable untethered connection to the machine. “We’ve custom built a number of features into the remote control on this product to ensure the resulting solution really makes sense from an

operator’s perspective, says Conrad Penner,OMNEX Portable Wireless Business Development and Project Manager. “The control needs to be intuitive – that is, a reasonable facsimile of what an operator’s used to in a wired system. Based on the positive feedback we’ve been getting from GOMACO’s test operators, I think we nailed it.”

By removing reliance on wired controls, OMNEX has helped GOMACO develop a more efficient concrete paving machine that requires less maintenance and allows an operator to produce a higher quality result. The wireless GT-3400 curb and gutter machine is available from GOAMCO Corporation. Visit www.gomaco.com for more information.
