S-160 Laser Screed*
*In 2004 this machine was replaced by the all-new SXP Laser Screed.
"The Somero Laser Screed does a better job," says Dick Mason of Samco Concrete Construction. "We virtually doubled our production after purchasing the S-160, while decreasing costs."
One of the primary reasons that Samco chose the S-160 Laser Screed instead of the S-240 was ease of hauling. The S-160 is smaller and weighs less than the S-240, but still big enough to handle the typical project that Samco goes after.
The Somero S-160 Laser Screed features an 8-foot wide screeding head mounted on a 20-foot telescopic boom, producing 160 square feet of laser screeded concrete per pass. You can successfully put the S-160 Laser Screed to work on industrial floor projects as small as a few thousand square feet to jobs of 30,000 square feet and larger.
The S-160 can easily handle 3" slump concrete, larger aggregate mixes and fibrous concrete. "The Somero Laser Screed helps you when you're out soliciting business," says Dick Mason. "It puts you a cut above the run-of-the-mill contractors."
The Somero 3-D Profiler System is a great addition to the Somero S-160 Laser Screed, helping you expand your services to include concrete paving. The multi-billion dollar concrete paving market is growing and offers excellent profit opportunities.

| Auger, Plow and Vibrator The S-160 features a plow that removes excess concrete, a 9" auger that cuts concrete to grade, and a vibrator that consolidates material. |
Reliable Diesel Engine The Somero Laser Screed is powered by a very reliable diesel engine that is easily accessible for routine maintenance. |
