Roadbuilding Supplement

Make quick work of barrier placement
Easily place and remove concrete barriers with Construction Lifters’ concrete barrier grab, which enables hands-free use. A pressure grip design eliminates the need to attach chains – reducing damage to barriers while saving man hours. The barrier grabs are available in capacities ranging from 8,500 to 29,000 pounds, and handle barriers with a 6- to 12-inch nominal width at the top.


Rollers stop and start without leaving marks
Dynapac’s four new tandem asphalt compaction rollers include the 8- to 10-ton class CC224HF, the split drum CC234HF, the 10- to 12-ton CC324HF and the split drum CC334HF. The rollers feature soft starting and stopping to prevent bowing or cracking in the asphalt layers, as well as a safety feature that enables the machine to drop out of the soft mode and brake if the lever is moved quickly. A double pump vibration system eliminates the need for a vibration valve.


Move material faster with transfer vehicle
Boost production capabilities with Terex Roadbuilding’s CR662RM RoadMix material transfer vehicle and paver, which features a variable pitch in-hopper auger design that increases material throughput to exceed 500 tons per hour. The pitch spacing transitions from 10 inches in the front to 11 inches and then to 12 inches in the rear, channeling material efficiently for faster unloading.


Loader scale delivers real time results
Manage loads with the VEI Helper Mini in-motion loader scale from RMT Equipment, available for mini-loaders and skid steers. The Helper Mini weighing system manages weight control by receiving load information; when the boom reaches the weighing position, two sensors at the lift sensor measures the pressure in real time.


Portable sandbagger fills bags quickly, easily
Fill sandbags right where you need them with the HTC SandBagger, which fills a standard sandbag in two seconds. The unit is completely portable and eliminates hand shoveling.


Box blade accepts single or dual mast grading system
Double D Manufacturing’s SS Series box blade fits any skid steer and is available in 6- or 8-foot widths. GPS or laser mounting brackets are standard, and the SS Series uses either a single or dual mast electronic grading system. The side cutter blades are adjustable and replaceable, and dual grader blades enable forward and reverse grading.


Trailer’s hydraulic control runs three hydraulic operations
Simplify operation with Landoll’s 900 Traveling Tail trailer, which features one hydraulic control that manages three operations. No hydraulic lines, hinges or pins behind the tail ensure easy maintenance, and a four-beam positive cambered frame design enables more payload capacity. The Landoll 900 has a 24,000-pound tail lifting capacity and is full load bearing for stable dock loading.

Experience clean release with trailer’s 50-degree dump angle
Haul up to 28 cubic yards of crushed concrete, road debris, dirt, gravel and boulders with Side Dump Industries’ trailers, which have a 50-degree dump angle for a quick, clean release. A lower center of gravity improves stability and safety, and the ability to dump from either side ensures load placement where you need it. The units are available in a choice of tandem, tri- or quad-axle trailers or converter dollies.


Blade tackles hard material
Maneuver in tight spaces with Roadrunner Construction Equipment’s Roadrunner blade. Featuring two forward cutting blades mounted on a steel frame with runners and side pans, the Roadrunner attaches to tractors and skid steers up to 150 horsepower.

A serrated cutting edge penetrates and crumbles hard packed material.


Soil system handles soft, contaminated soil
Remediate contaminated soil and transform clay, peat, sludge and other soft soil into solid layers with Allu’s Stabilization System. The system’s power mixer mixes the soil while the pressure feeder simultaneously feeds additives directly into the ground.
