EZIV Highway Class Screed

The EZIV features Carlson’s exclusive 2% screed taper, facilitating great outboard flow of material towards the endgates whether the augers are in operation or not. Its 1/2” (13mm) Hardox 450 main and extension plates are combined with state-of-the-art heating elements for efficient, clean and even heat through use of full-length element hold downs. And with its optimized pivot point location, the EZIV achieves increased screeding surface, enhancing the smoothness and ride quality of the mat while maximizing screed plate lifecycle.

Utilizing a unique single slide extension support system, the EZIV drastically reduces component replacement costs while achieving exceptional rigidity of its extensions. The 2” (51mm) diameter chrome rods provide fluid inboard and outboard motion while the heavy-duty 6” (152mm) tubular frame that the rods are firmly fixed to bears the weight and forces on the extensions. Combined with the industry’s largest adjustable slide block bushing for front-mount screeds, the EZIV’s extension support system truly sets itself apart from the field in performance, component lifecycle and mat quality.

Utilizing the largest adjustable slide track bushing in its class, the EZIV extension maintains integrity of the slide track function for reduced lifecycle costs and superior performance

The hallmark of Carlson’s front mount screeds are the intuitive adjustment points that maintain their hold for exceptional mat quality. The EZIV features a heavy duty, machined power crown assembly with pull pins for adjustment of lead crown on the fly. Combined with an exceptionally strong slope plate bolt pattern and slope stop that allows greater periods between adjustments, along with tightly fitted adjustable strike-offs, the EZIV delivers award winning mat quality while maintaining its adjustments over longer periods of time
