About Power Curbers
Our Commitment Shows
Power Curbers was established in 1953 and has been the leader in slipform
machines for more than 65 years. Based in Salisbury, NC, USA, Power Curbers is
a global provider with machines located in over 100 countries.
s Additional Improvements
• High-pressure water system uses a new pump that can
be left “on” without system wear. On-demand high-pressure
water will be activated by the wand’s handle
• New canopy with an overhead lamp available in addition to
existing bimini and umbrella choices
• New door latch style and new doors added to each end of
the toolbox. Engine door double latches combined into a
single, lower latch
• Auger Conveyor pivot is easier to rotate and the hopper
features shovel holders on both sides
• Improved rigidity in mold offset
• Improved low-pressure water system with new pump
• Barrier Mold Lift range increased to 48" (1220mm)

Design Strategy
Simplicity & Productivity
At Power Curbers we believe in keeping
things simple. Our engineering and
design are based around providing
customers with an easy to operate,
reliable, and productive machine. This
design strategy is evident throughout
the 5700-D.
s Compact Design
The 5700-D’s compact design allows
operators to get in and out of tight
spots like parking lot corners, islands
and cul-de-sacs. The machine
transports at legal width (8’6”/2.59m)
and does not require a low-boy.
s Visibility
The operator has an excellent view of
concrete as it exits the mold, allowing
adjustments immediately to minimize
handwork behind the machine. The Machine maneuvers in tight areas, minimizing tie-ins.
operator also has good visibility of
all activity around the machine.
s Stringless Capable
All-crawler steering equipped machines
are ready to work with Topcon, Leica,
and Trimble 3-D systems. Loading and unloading is quick, and a low-boy isn’t required.
Operator has great visibility of entire process. The 5700-D is fully stringless capable

Maximum Productivity & Jobsite Versatility
What makes the 5700-D the most productive slipform machine in the world?
s Auger Conveyor
After years of building machines with conveyor belts and dealing with their
inherent problems like ripping in the middle of a pour and the concrete splatter
they cause, Power Curbers introduced the auger conveyor in 1994.
The direct drive, high torque auger:
• Moves volume concrete faster
• Keeps the machine cleaner
• Continues the mixing process of the concrete
• Holds a cubic yard (3/4m3) of concrete which is beneficial in radius
and cul-de-sac work
• Conveys concrete regardless of the incline angle of the conveyor
The unique ability of the charge hopper to be positioned in front of the machine,
allows a concrete truck to run directly in front of the machine enabling pouring in a
single lane of traffic.
s Trimmer
The stout 42” (1.07m) wide carbide-tooth trimmer handles the toughest of
subgrade, minimizing dependence on the grading contractor. Ideally the trimmer
cuts 1-2” (25-50mm) of subgrade, but is capable of trimming up to 6” (150mm) in
extreme situations.
The trimmer also hydraulically side shifts 80” (2.03m) enabling the ability to trim
for a 5’ (1.5m) radius or to move the trimmer under the machine and out of the
way when not in use. With 16” (406mm) of hydraulic vertical movement, the
trimmer can lift over catch basins and other obstacles.

More Than A Machine –– It’s A
A full understanding of the entire process is the key to success
s Jobsite & Machine Set-up
• Grading and site preparation ahead of the curb machine is important to productivity and quality.
• Stringline is set by referencing the surveyor’s stakes.
• Accurate and tight stringline placement is very important to the quality of work.
• The 5700-D, equipped with sensors for steering and elevation control, follows the stringline automatically around the jobsite.
• Machine follows stringline around a 2’ (610mm) radius.
s Ready-Mix Supply
• Consistent concrete mix design and slump is important to both productivity and quality.
• Steady supply of concrete is often the biggest determining factor in daily production.
• Recommended mix design will vary by application.
Contact us for a recommendation.
• Concrete is the biggest variable. A good
relationship with the concrete supplier
is very important.
s Auger Conveyor
• Large capacity charge hopper, low
to the ground, allows for easy
discharge from ready-mix truck.
• Hydraulically adjustable tilt and slide,
and manual pivoting – position it
exactly where it needs to be for a
day's pour.
• Long-lasting, segmented cast
flighting lasts much longer than a
belt.
• Delivers concrete up to 2 yards3

Mobile Manufacturing Plant
s Operator & Crew
• We offer jobsite training for operators
and crews, including instruction
on machine setup, safety, operation,
and maintenance.
• Crew size varies according to the
application. A crew made up of an
operator, a chute man, and 4-6
members working behind the machine
is typical.
• Experienced crews may operate with
fewer laborers while jobsites with many
tie-ins and obstacles may require more.
• Tools typically required include trowels,
floats, brooms, joint rakes, expansion
material, a tape measure and level, and
forms for tie-ins.
• Best practice is keeping the same crew
together regularly with the machine.
s Finished Product
• Broom finish behind the machine is
common in most curb applications.
• Spray-on curing compound helps in the
hardening process of the concrete.

The machine’s tight radius capability eliminates hours of hand forming and produces a higher quality product.
s Radius Work
Pour islands as tight as 2’ (610mm). Our
tight radius abilities make the 5700-D ideal
for parking lot islands. Eliminating days of
hand labor in large retail parking lots, the
5700-D can handle the narrowest of
parking lot islands.

variety of options to give you added
flexibility on the jobsite. Options include
block-outs for varying the curb width,
extensions for varying the curb height, and
removable side plates for pouring adjacent
to existing pavement.
For pouring through driveway cuts, we offer
two options of labor and concrete saving
driveway knives. One uses a rotating plate,
while the other uses a side-entry tapered
plate that reduces hand finishing on top of
the curb. Please contact our mold
department or visit the molds page of our
website (www.powercurbers.com) to learn
about the many options we offer in mold
design.
