Copperhead XD
We use the Somero Copperhead® XD™ and Power Rake to achieve a flatness and leveling accuracy that are impossible with traditional hand striking. The self-propelled Copperhead XD is guided by its own patented laser level, which lets it set the finished grade automatically. Because it can level to the finished grade, screed the concrete flat, and vibrate the concrete smooth all in one pass, the Copperhead XD also lets us be extremely time-efficient in finishing concrete surfaces. The wheels are designed to move separately from the screed head which "floats" on the surface of the concrete, allowing for true leveling even with variations in subgrade. The Copperhead XD also helps us achieve superior performance with challenging situations such as chaired rebar, low-slump concrete, or difficult subgrades.
The Power Rake is an automated, 4 wheel drive, ride on, laser guided grading machine. It pulls piles of concrete to rough grade within 1/4" accuracy and primes the concrete for the Somero Copperhead. The use of the Power Rake has served to increase our productivity and quality with less labor.
