Side-step concrete screeding apparatus
An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface includes a frame assembly having a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs secured to the front end thereof supporting a generally horizontal front member. An extendable boom assembly is secured to said frame assembly at a first end and to a screed head at a second end. A side-step assembly includes an actuator with an extendable arm secured to said boom assembly to impart generally lateral motion.
1. An apparatus for screeding concrete to produce a level finished surface comprising:
a frame assembly having a front end and rear end, said frame assembly having a pair of spaced vertically oriented stabilization legs secured to the front end thereof, said spaced legs supporting a generally horizontal front member therebetween;
an extendable boom assembly secured to said frame assembly at a first end and to a screed head at a second end, said extendable boom assembly adjustably disposed on said front member; and
a side-step assembly having an actuator with an extendable arm thereon, said actuator secured at a point to said frame, and said extendable arm secured to said boom assembly to impart generally lateral motion thereto.
2. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said actuator is an hydraulic actuator.
3. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 wherein said actuator is a linear actuator.
4. An apparatus as claimed in claim 1 comprising:
a vertically oriented stabilization leg secured to said frame assembly at said rear end thereof, whereby said stabilization legs level said frame and said screed head.
