Terex Bid-Well has updated its 4800 paver by adding barrier brackets, swing legs and a universal hydraulically powered crown. The brackets pick the rail off of the deck, assist with finishing and can be customized to fit over parapet wells; the swing legs can be turned upside down to increase the wall height by 4 to 5 feet; and the universal hydraulic crown supports the paver during skewing or standard paving. terex.com
