DYNAPAC

Flush manhole covers milling

Dynapac’s PL350TD compact planer is equipped with a Cummins B 3.3 engine and 60 horsepower motor. It mills 13.8 inches wide to a depth of 3.9 inches with a cutting diameter of 20.5 inches and is suited for milling of joints, flush cutting, removing road markings and other jobs where defective asphalt or concrete surfaces are cut. The PL350TD is specifically designed for flush milling of manhole covers, but with both a left and right steering angle of 75 degrees and a 3.9-inch milling radius, it is also easy to maneuver in narrow construction sites. The automatic mode for the conveyor belt and water spray bar is activated during milling and turned off when the milling stops. The front ballast is easily removable with a forklift. The right rear chassis leg also can be folded for flush cutting along curbs or buildings. The compact planer can also be used for groove milling with a cutting wheel.www. dynapac.com

CIMLINE

The next generation

Cimline’s Generation IV is comprised of the best features of three models combined into the Magma crack sealer – now available as the new Generation IV. Available in three sizes – 150, 230 and 410 gallon – the new low-profile model incorporates operator features for efficient crack sealing. The AutoStart keeps an operator informed of ready-to-seal status with three green lights. Hose technology has been addressed with an efficient carrier to reduce operator fatigue. Operators work safer and more efficiently when they are farther from the machine due to the Magma’s boom placement. An expanded work zone is created and more square feet of coverage is provided. Heated and non-heated hoses are available as well as a dual hose option for maximum performance. www.cimline.com
