Hi Richard
Just looked at the volvo website and it seems that the newer Blaw Knox pavers are using more ABG technology so it would seem that Volvo has licenced Leeboy to produce older (heritage) pavers.This would make sense as Leeboy only made small pavers like the old Allatt type machines and probably wanted to move up to bigger pavers without the development costs also from memory there was some sales agreement with Blaw Knox to sell the Leeboy pavers a few years back.Volvo probably needs to start using electric heating of screeds in the US to try to keep up with Caterpillar who are the leading paver manufacturer and have used Carlson electric heating for sometime,Blaw Knox also seem to be classed as the poor mans paver in the States behind Caterpillar
BLAW KNOX Still Kicking!
