Roadtec builds mobile roadbuilding equipment and is pleased to have increased their market share in U.S. paver sales by fifty percent in 2008. Roadtec manufactures highway-class asphalt pavers that have a reputation for being heavy-duty, extremely reliable, and durable machines. Recent upgrades include increased fuel capacity and improvements that optimize operator comfort. Roadtec cold planers are among the most productive machines available and feature competitive advantages like higher horsepower engines and bi- directional drums. With increased focus on environmentally sustainable construction practices, Roadtec cold planers play a crucial role in the reclaiming and recycling of old pavement. Roadtec's well-known Shuttle Buggy® material transfer vehicle, a machine which allows contractors to easily meet State DOT smoothness specifications, has been proven in study after study to be the only transfer device on the market that can consistently deliver material at even temperature to the paver. The Roadtec powerful SX-7 reclaimer/stabilizer is used to prepare the roadbed before pavement is laid and features the greatest cut depth in the industry. Introduced in 2007, the SX-7 reclaimer/stabilizer is now used in several U.S. states and the company expects its market share to grow in 2009. Roadtec is currently developing the new cold recycler RT-500 with its sister companies JCI, KPI, and Telsmith. With highways and paved roads exhibiting surface defects in need of repair, utilizing an innovative road reconstruction process such as cold-in-place recycling (CIR) is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to more conventional methods. Roadtec in 2008 expanded their capabilities and expertise to further develop Roadtec’s cutter drum manufacturing and rebuilding program, including the ability to manufacture cutter drums for after-market needs of contractors who own competing brands. Roadtec's solid advantage in the market place is not only it's reliable productive product offering, but also it's image as a company that delivers personal service with extremely fast response times.
