World of Concrete 2012 Premiers High-Tech Road Warrior - The Phoenix 7500 Slipform Curber by Phoenix Curb Machines

LAS VEGAS, Jan. 19, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- http://www.phoenixcurbmachines.com/ [Phoenix Curb Machines] and inventor Ed Taylor took a cue from Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome and John Wayne's War Wagon in creating the Phoenix 7500, a new breed of compact slipform curber debuting at World of Concrete in January 23-27 in Las Vegas.  "The Phoenix 7500 is the culmination of all my experience," says Taylor, a pioneering inventor of compact curbers and longtime concrete contractor. "It will finally level the playing field for many contractors - concrete, general, paving - and site developers who have felt outgunned by the bigger machines."

Designed to compete with machines costing 50 percent more, the Phoenix 7500 weighs less than 10,000 pounds and includes many innovative features.  It easily negotiates tight corners in the grading and pouring modes, and, with a flip of a switch, automatically backs down a string line---all with just one operator.  Taylor says, "We believe the Phoenix 7500 is the secret weapon for winning bigger bids, completing jobs sooner, and with lower labor costs. Plus it's a lot of fun to operate and looks super cool!"
