As cities get more congested with cars and pedestrians, deploying large asphalt pavers, motorized sweepers and other heavy machines becomes a larger challenge. Enter JCB and the Pothole Pro.
An all-in-one solution, the Pothole Pro is capable of performing a pothole “Cut, Crop and Clean” process with a uniform hole profile consistently with only a single operator in the cab. A pothole repair that would typically require 20 to 30 minutes of manual labor with a jackhammer, can be completed in just four minutes with the Pothole Pro.
It comes equipped with a 47.2-in. wide sweeper collector featuring dust suppression and the ability to collect and dump chippings using either bucket mode or by engaging the brush. It has a dedicated cropping tool and adjustments to the 23.6-in. planer can be made with hydraulic depth and tilt control. Plus, the blades are swappable!
Javier Marin from JCB gives us a detailed rundown of the Pothole Pro and why they believe it will change the asphalt industry for the better.
