LeeBoy Screeds – What You Need to Know

LeeBoy Screeds
Screeds are a critical component of your paving equipment. Make sure you are using the best on the market!
Screeds are an essential component of any paver. They make sure the asphalt being laid down is smooth and evenly spread across the surface. While it may seem like a simple job, screeds are in fact complex pieces of machinery. That’s why we recommend using industry-leading technology like LeeBoy’s Legend Screed. They have the features and performance you need to complete your project right the first time.

Full-Width Conveyors
Among the features that make LeeBoy Legend Screeds stand out are their full-width conveyors. For widths of 8 feet or less, augers are not needed to move asphalt from the hopper to the flow gate. This has several benefits, including:
- Significant reduction of aggregate separation
- Ability to move 2x the material through the conveyor tunnel
- Reduced shearing forces for more heat and structural integrity

On-the-fly adjustments
Legend Screeds are designed to be flexible while on the job, so you don’t have to stop to make adjustments and waste valuable time. Some of the adjustments you can make on the go include:
- Crown profiling
- Slope controls
- Variable angle of attack
- Optional sloping exensions
- Optional hydraulic berm
- And more

Heavy-duty screed plate
Legend Screeds are outfitted with ⅜-inch Hardox 450 screed plates. This material is often used for equipment like crushers, feeders and dump bodies that experience a lot of wear-and-tear. Among the other features of the screed plate are:
- Made from a quenched and tempered steel alloy
- Bolt-on design for easy replacement
- Heat distributed evenly across the plate

Choose Your Size
Leebody offers three screed choices depending on the size of your job:
- Leeboy Legend: standard screed plate for driveways, small parking lots, and patch work
- Leeboy Legend HD: 3,450 lbs for heavy duty commercial work, and includes features like automatic temperature and berm extensions
- Leeboy Legend HD Pro: over 4,000 lbs for large-scale municipal, industrial or residential projects. This screed features spring-loaded end gates and hydraulic sloping extensions.

Experienced paver operators know they can’t overlook the performance of their screed. An advanced and well-maintained screed is critical to producing high-quality work. If you are in need of repairs to your screed, contact Ambrose Service today. We’re ready for any job — big or small.
