Traditionally this job is done manually using shovels and brooms, while graders, rollers and water trucks stand idle on the road side. But not any more! The Contractor’s Kerb Cleaner has changed the face of civil road construction, as what would normally take four men three hours with shovels and brooms, one man can now complete in 30 minutes using the Contractor’s Kerb Cleaner!
The Contractor’s Kerb Cleaner had its genesis as the result of an acute shortage of labour combined with the introduction of the M3 type of kerb. Because of the continuously curved section this kerb is nearly impossible to clean with the grader and difficult with a shovel. Added to this is the cost of capital equipment standing idle while excess gravel is removed from the channel. This probably exceeds the cost of the labour.
Working with some of the largest civil construction companies, Mike has now extended the CKC Civil Construction equipment range to include the Drag broom, Pipe Cut and Bevel Tool and the Hydraulic Kerb Machine.
