Paving & Cutting Roadworks with Bobcat Equipment
March 14, 2024
Roadworks require a range of attachments and equipment for the job for each stage. Bobcat equipment offers a range of attachments for everything from graders to breaker bits to get the job done with ease. Utilize the versatile Bobcat X-Change system to switch between attachments on site for excavators, skid-steer, and track loader machines.
Kicking off Work with Ground Trenching & Road Cutting
Ideal for cutting through concrete or asphalt, the wheel saw is a powerful attachment for roadworks available in two models (18- or 24-inch dig depth). Before laying road foundations and asphalt, the saw attachment can be useful to cut through ground for utility lines and creating curbs. The attachment uses a hydraulic depth adjustment to deliver a consistent and uniform cut.
Preparing Foundations with Plate Compactor
Built for Bobcat mini-excavators, the plate compactor attachment provides stronger compaction force than a hand-operated compactor. Being attached to a mini-excavator this option provides operators with less fatigue and safer operation than handheld compactors with no hand-arm vibration as well as operators being safe within the cab away from the plate during use.
Setting Layers with Ground Levelling
Using a low angle and high velocity, the planer attachment uniformly cuts into ground surfaces. Four options are available with different cutting capabilities through increased hydraulic power. Planers can be great for road repairs where only a small section requires cutting and resurfacing.
Improving & Repairs through Patching/Asphalt Spreading
Compact and lightweight, the asphalt and soil spreader can manage loose materials at low speeds. Spreaders can be used to lay asphalt to create new pavements or widen and repair existing roads by backfilling, paving and covering trenches to lay base materials.
Versatility with Compact Equipment
Bobcat track loaders & skid-steers provide versatile ability with the attachments listed. Not only can these machines move forward roadwork tasks but can also help keep the jobsite clear and productive with its X-change systems allowing for quick and easy attachment changes. Easily switch from a trencher to a bucket to remove debris and transport materials across the jobsite between tasks. Attachments such as sweepers, breakers, augers and others can provide additional value on the jobsite where tasks are a little more complex.
