GOMACO GP460 Placer/Spreader Slipform Paver
Placer/spreader and two-track slipform paver on a single chassis, placing to 50 ft. (15.24 m) and paving to 40 ft. (12.19 m).
The GOMACO GP460 puts a high-production placer/spreader and a two-track GP4 slipform paver on a single chassis. The 60 in. (1524 mm) conveyor places concrete up to 50 ft. (15.24 m) wide, and the integrated GP4 slipforms up to 40 ft. (12.19 m) wide, so one machine meters the concrete onto the grade and paves it in a single pass. G+ controls interface with stringline or 3D machine guidance.
This is the widest machine in the placer/spreader line, built around the GP4 paver rather than the GP3. Highlights include a 302 hp (225 kW) Cat C7.1 Tier 4 Final engine, a 491.5 fpm (149.81 mpm) belt, and 84,000 lbs. (38,102 kg) operational weight on two tracks.
The strike-off is what ties the placer and paver together. Its height is set by optional smart cylinders independent of the prime mover, so it meters the depth of concrete without raising or lowering the whole machine. Add the optional sonic sensor system and the strike-off talks to the paver over Machine-to-Machine communication, feeding G+ a constant read on placed depth so it holds an even head of concrete in front of the mold. A dual-drive, reversible 20 in. (508 mm) auger with 4 in. (102 mm) of hard-facing on the flighting moves material to the centre or the edges across the strike-off.

Benefits
The widest machine in the lineup
The GP460 places concrete up to 50 ft. (15.24 m) wide and slipforms up to 40 ft. (12.19 m), the widest in GOMACO’s placer/spreader range. Building it around the two-track GP4 rather than the GP3 is what gives it the extra width. It places and paves in a single pass at a scale the GP348 and GP360 cannot reach.
A belt built for haul-road abuse
The 60 in. (1524 mm) conveyor is made to take end-dump loads. Two 9 ft. (2.74 m) flexible rubber seals on the front and back keep concrete on the belt, and automatic pressure-compensated tensioning adjusts it to the haul road’s height even while folding. A conveyor wheel holds belt position as it raises and lowers.
Smart strike-off with M2M control
Optional smart cylinders meter the strike-off’s depth independent of the prime mover, so placement depth changes without moving the whole machine. Add sonic sensors and it feeds placed-depth data to the paver’s G+ system over Machine-to-Machine communication, holding an even head of concrete in front of the mold pass after pass.
One machine, two roles
The GP460 runs as a high-production placer/spreader and slipform paves on the same chassis, so one machine covers both jobs on a wide pour. It has one conveyor and two auger drive circuits for placing, plus vibrator circuits for paving, and it interfaces with stringline or 3D guidance without swapping the control platform.
Why GOMACO
Concrete paving since 1965
GOMACO has built concrete paving equipment out of Ida Grove, Iowa since 1965 and holds ISO 9001:2015 certification. The paving line covers widths up to 50 feet (15.2 m) and depths to 19 inches (483 mm), and the same machines run on interstate mainline, airport runways, city streets, and canal work around the world.
G+ Operating System
G+ is proprietary, developed by GOMACO’s own control engineers rather than adapted from an off-the-shelf platform. It uses two-way communication between the paver and its accessories, closed-loop electronic and hydraulic control, and instant digital feedback. Contractors moving up from a GP-4000 can carry their existing attachments and sensors straight onto a new GP4.
Family owned from the start
GOMACO is still owned and run by the family that started it. Harold and Gary Godbersen founded Godbersen Manufacturing Company in 1965, and a third generation of the family is in the business today. Roughly 350 people build every machine in Ida Grove, Iowa, across more than 500,000 sq. ft. (46,450 m²) of plant, office and engineering space.
