Zippers for Contractors

Huge Cost & Time Savings

The traditional method of removing asphalt is expensive. Costs incurred through saw cutting, chunking, removing and hauling the asphalt increase job costs and time spent on each job. The Zipper eliminates all of these steps. With only one run of the Zipper, asphalt is ground into one-inch minus reusable material. No money is spent on cutting, chunking, loading, hauling, flag people or landfill disposal costs. The Zipper is a faster, more efficient way to remove asphalt and prepare for resurfacing.

"We picked up a job that was an existing parking lot that was not draining.  Instead of going in there and saw cutting and digging out the asphalt and base and hauling it off, we were able to mix it all and only dig out what we could pour in that day.  I had estimated about 20 days to do the project.  But with the Zipper and my crew it ended up taking me about 5 days and really only 3 days of actual Zipper time.  So we picked up about 14-15 days on that job.  The Zipper’s probably made more money for the cost than any other purchase in almost 20 in this business since I’ve been around."

Win More Bids

The Asphalt Zipper helps contractors aggressively compete for bids by lowering the cost of each job. The Zipper decreases costs because it eliminates the need to saw cut, chunk, remove and haul asphalt. Because the Zipper replaces the normal processes of asphalt removal, it decreases the amount of money spent on each job. When you spend less money on a job, you can under bid competitors.

“We just picked up a 3.3 million dollar job that we would not have gotten had we not factored in using the Asphalt Zipper.  I can’t say enough about the service.  It’s been terrific!   The Zipper is the icing on the cake.  Now that we own one we can’t imagine ever being without it.”

Finish Jobs Faster

The Zipper lets you finish jobs faster than ever before. Zipper owners report that they are finishing jobs in half the time it takes to do the same job doing it the old way. The Zipper eliminates the need to pull up, chunk, load and haul old asphalt away. This increase in efficiency creates an increase in productivity, which means more time to do more jobs to make more money.

Happier Customers

When laying pipe down heavily trafficked streets, speed is important to the citizens of the area. The less you impact citizens, the happier they are. And when citizens are happy, clients are happy. The Asphalt Zipper allows you to get into an area and get out quickly because it cuts out all of the most time-consuming steps of the removal process. The Zipper grinds asphalt into a one-inch minus material. Because the asphalt is ground into such fine material, traffic can immediately drive over streets that have just been zipped. During repair, no roads are completely unusable, making the asphalt reclaiming process more convenient for customers and citizens.

Easy to Use

Operating and maintaining the Zipper has been designed to be easy. Crews quickly learn to run it after receiving only an hour of demonstration and hands-on instruction. Because the Zipper is so easy to use, crews actually want to use it because it is fast and saves on labor. Many users report a significant decrease in work-related injuries because the Zipper virtually eliminates many labor-intensive tasks such as saw cutting, jackhammering, loading and hauling.

Easy to Transport

The Zipper comes with a patented EZ connect system, making it possible for the Zipper to attach to the bucket of backhoes or loaders. This system makes it easy to slip the Zipper on and off quickly, freeing up the loader for other uses. Also, because of its size, it can be transported on a trailer behind a standard pick up truck. Because of this maneuverability, multiple crews can use the Zipper at many different sites.
