Utility Trenches
Utility Trenches

Zipper owners will tell you that removing the asphalt couldn’t be easier. With production rates of up to 1000 linear ft per hour, one Zipper can easily stay ahead of several crews. Asphalt Zipper® attachments virtually eliminate saw-cutting, chunking, loading, hauling and dumping fees. The zipped/pulverized material is simply left in place and in most areas is approved for backfill. Traffic can drive over the trench immediately with no street plating necessary.
