Road Maintenance: The PL45.20 Planer and ST200 Road Paver in China
2022-01-19
n April 2020, a PL45.20 road planer was sold to Shunying Traffic Engineering Company in China through SIMEX’s Shanghai distributor, ATE. The planer was equipped with the ST200 asphalt paver. This company handles most of the highway maintenance and construction work in Anhui Province.
Mr. Zhu, the company’s manager, quickly expressed his appreciation for these attachments: "Typically, we use the planer and paver attachments mounted on Bobcats for road planing and paving tasks. These attachments are robust and can even perform edge work, allowing us to keep some lanes open and ensure smooth traffic flow on expressways."
The SIMEX PL45.20 ensures excellent performance, smooth operation, and precise planing results. With independent depth adjustment on each side combined with an automatic leveling system, it offers users flexibility and ease of use.
Highways often face the risk of longitudinal cracking, making repaving essential after asphalt removal. "Traditional paving usually requires at least six workers, which is inefficient and lacks precision," Mr. Zhu continued. "Since using the SIMEX ST200 asphalt paver, paving efficiency has significantly improved, closely matching our clients’ requirements. Additionally, labor costs have been greatly reduced."
