The BG-225C is an intermediate sized track paver that is well suited to highways, city streets, county roads, lane additions, industrial sites, parking lots, overlays and other production-sized paving jobs. It is effective on new construction projects because of its steel track undercarriage which uses field-proven Cat D3 Track-type Tractor technology. This method of propulsion offers advantages when operating on unstable bases or on steep grades. Excellent tractive effort, low ground pressure and enhanced flotation are some of the advantages. The BG-225C is suited to all geographic regions that favor track pavers. Typical characteristics of theses areas include sandy, loose soil; sub-base or base materials that do not permit good traction by wheel pavers; and areas with significant grades. In addition, the versatility of the BG-225C allows it to work on a wide-width highway job one day and a confined parking lot the next. In addition to most Caterpillar Dealers, there are two additional authorized dealers in the United States that specialize in Barber-Greene branded paving equipment. Gateway Equipment Corp. of East Syracuse, New York (315) 437-7336 and East Amherst, New York (716) 689-1133 serves western, central and northern New York state. Closner Equipment Company Inc. of San Antonio, Texas (210) 732-2131 and Austin, Texas (512) 272-8200 serves central and southern Texas.

The Caterpillar 3054TA engine is turbocharged for top performance and efficiency especially at high altitudes with no derating required up to 2134 meters (7,000 feet).
The transverse-mounted engine provides better cooling performance and greater accessibility for service.
Meets EPA/CARB low emissions engine regulations.
Low sound emission complies with major regulatory rules.
The adjustment-free direct injection fuel system keeps fuel consumption low.
The intake manifold heater preheats incoming air for quick cold-weather starting.
The closed-loop hydrostatic propel system provides efficient, low-maintenance operation.
The speed control system maintains preset paving speeds throughout a job.
The propulsion controller provides accurate control of steering and propulsion systems, assuring straight-line tracking.
The decel pedal provides foot control of the propel speed, freeing the operator to manage other paving functions.
The dual path steering system utilizes a steering wheel for simplified operation
The single operator's station slides from side to side and includes fully equipped instrument console and steering wheel with lockable cover.
The operator's platform can be positioned 305 mm (12") beyond each side of the paver for greater operator visibility.
The operator's seat pivots 152 mm (6") to the left or right to further improve operator visibility.
Low-mounted engine provides unobstructed forward visibility.
Symbols and functional word descriptions are shown for all controls.
Gauges are analog type for quick interpretation.
Warning lights illuminate and horn alert operator to: 1) high hydraulic oil temperature; 2) low hydraulic oil level; 3) low engine oil pressure; or 4) high engine coolant temperature.
Speed control system allows the operator to dial a maximum paving speed. Once set, the paver returns to the preset speed when propel lever is in full forward position.
Left and right feeders and left and right augers are all controlled independently, eliminating the need for feeder gates.
Once the feeder speeds are set, the ratio of feeder speed to the maximum auger speed is automatically maintained by the material handling controller, regardless of propel rate or paving widths.
To control mix delivery, the operator sets a speed rate for each feeder that will maintain the desired mix level i the left and right auger chambers.
Component wear is reduced because full feeders run a slower speeds.
The potential for mix segregation is minimized because head of material remains constant.
Gateless feeders always run full of mix regardless of the speed required to fill the auger chamber.
Drag pans are constructed with abrasion resistant, heat treated steel.
Feeder flight bars are forged steel and pinned to two strands of roller bushed chain.
When changes in feeder speed are needed, delivery of mix to the augers is immediate.
Potential for segregation is reduced with slower running feeders, especially when working with large stone mixes.
The auger assembly can be hydraulically adjusted to 171 mm (6.75").
When working with larger stone mixes, segregation can often be eliminated or minimized by raising the augers to allow mix to flow unrestricted under the auger assembly.
The ability to raise the auger assembly simplifies loading and unloading from a transport vehicle.
The distance between the two feeders is significantly reduced because the auger drive assembly is not part of the tractor.
The narrow distance between feeders allows flow from both feeders to blend together easily as they discharge into the auger cavity. This design helps minimize segregation.

The computer determined track roller placement and special triple roller rear bogies achieve a smoother ride.
Cat D3 track rails include sealed tracks with split master link for dependable, low maintenance performance.
The automatic track tension system provides low maintenance and few adjustments.
