Q.What is a roller screed?

The Speed Screed® ROLLER is a variable length triple tube roller system that allows users to easily swap rollers and extension frames between jobs that require different pour widths. With rollers and extensions available from 10’ to 32’ in single foot increments, almost any job can be easily handled with this machine.

Q.How does a roller screed work?

A roller screed consists of mechanized seamless pipes that spin against the concrete as contractors drive the unit over form rails. Roller screeds do not vibrate the concrete, so if vibration is engineered into a project a contractor will have to perform vibration manually.

Q.Roller vs Vibratory

Rolling screeds are more effective than vibrating screeds for pervious paving, low slump concrete, and slope paving.                                               

Vibratory Screeds do a slightly better job of leveling, but a considerably better job of consolidating.

Q.Widths available? Max and Min?

Minimum length = 10 feet  Maximum Length = 32 feet.  Each of the three rollers utilize a bolting flange and are symmetrical which makes changing machine length quick and easy. The rollers can be orientated in either direction and can be mounted in any position. To replace or swap roller lengths follow the procedures listed in the Owners Manual.

Q.Slump concrete?

Up to a 1" slump with adequate vibration.

Q.What powers the roller screed?

A 22hp Honda Engine with a simple operator interface. Equipped with a dual joystick control and smart expandable system.

Q.How many people needed to operate?

One person can operate the Speed Screed® ROLLER. NEVER allow anyone to operate this equipment without proper training. 

Q.How wide of a machine/tubes do I need for my jobs?

Minimum 3' wider than pour width, but recommend 4' wider than pour width.

Q.What is the stroke of the steering leg (Kickstand)?

16" - Will work with 16" forms. Adjustment of kickstand, foot assembly required.

Q.Does the front "Slinger" tube height adjustment?

Yes. The "Slinger" is adjustable up to 1" above finished slab height. Tube is preset from factory at 1/8" above slab height.

Q.Replacement parts available?

Yes. ALWAYS use OEM replacement parts. Contact MFC at 414-964-4550 for assistance.

Q.Loading & Unloading

When loading and unloading your machines from a flat-bed or trailer, always use either the (4) provided lifting-eyes with shackles and chains rated above the maximum weight of your machine or the provided adjustable fork pocket assemblies. The lifting eyes are attached to the extension frame and can be moved to adjust the picking points for different length machines. The fork pockets can be adjusted by loosening the square U-bolts. Always place the picking support bars or fork pockets at an equal distance from the center of gravity of the machine.

Q.Lead-time

Typical lead time is 4-6 weeks from date of order. Fastest in the industry!
