When it comes to maintaining underground and kerbside utility assets, time is always of the essence to ensure community disruptions are kept to a minimum.
Regardless of whether you are shutting down a council road through the middle of town or a major motorway linking two cities, road restrictions from construction are expected to be as minimal as possible.
SIMEX Planers are designed to enhance on-site efficiency, helping road projects stay on time and within budget.
To further improve execution speed, SIMEX has introduced the PL2000, the largest road cold planer for compact loaders, featuring a 2000mm-wide milling drum – which SIMIEX said is the largest currently available on the market.
Optimising rehabilitation
The PL2000 is a game-changer for milling deteriorated road surfaces in preparation for resurfacing.
It enables operators to remove entire layers of asphalt or cement in preparation for trenching or mill deteriorated sections for later resurfacing and create a sustainable outcome by reusing milled material for backfilling trenches.
Independent depth adjustment on both the right and left sides ensure perfectly flat surfaces – essential for large areas such as car parks and forecourts – while hydraulic side shift allows for precise milling flush to walls and sidewalks.
The PL2000 is also designed to stay aligned with the road surface, even when the base machine is not parallel to the ground thanks to its floating transverse tilt, and the SIMEX patented self-leveling system helps maintain consistent milling depth regardless of road conditions.
The dust suppression system with integrated and increased water tank also eliminates the need for a secondary tank on the base machine.
Levelling up
The PL2000 complements SIMEX’s existing range of 14 self-leveling road planers and stabilisers, offering milling widths from 250mm to 2000mm and depths of up to 350mm.
These planers are ideal for small and medium-sized works, especially in tight spaces, around potholes, or near kerbs – ensuring a safer and more efficient milling process.
