Road maintenance works are different and can have different scope: excavators equipped with the right attachments help you reduce time and waste during the works in progress.

Roads, traffic and economy

road transport and economics

In practically all developed states, roads are a fundamental resource: they allow citizens to carry out daily activities such as accessing employment, social, health or educational services without hitches, delays and above all without danger. At a higher level, roads in good condition allow for smooth and safe traffic which favors the economy of the country and of the state to which they belong, allowing services, first of all health services (such as emergency services) , transport and procurement, continue to be provided without interruption.
In short, being still the main means of movement for man, the roads are very important.
Because of this importance, keeping roads safe and operational is paramount – this is where road maintenance comes into play.

Road maintenance

road maintenance

Road maintenance is one of the best-known processes even for non-experts, precisely because, as previously mentioned, almost all people who live in more or less developed urban centers know what it means to travel by vehicle, both because they could possess a driving and moving independently, and because they could travel on public transport.
One of the main characteristics of appreciation or criticism of a city, in fact, concerns precisely the conditions of the roads on which to drive and the presence or absence of potholes, followed immediately by the appreciation of urban architectural beauty.
Road and highway maintenance works can range from pothole repairs to debris removal, resurfacing to manhole and drain repairs, replacement/repair of road signs to green space maintenance (such as trimming hedges and weeding).

There are three types of road maintenance:

 

  • emergency maintenance: is undertaken in case something catastrophic occurs that has an immediate and tangible impact on traffic flow or roadside safety;

  • reactive maintenance: is the form of maintenance that is put in place to fix something after it has been damaged. The most common reactive maintenance tasks involve repairing potholes;

  • preventive maintenance: it is the form of maintenance that most favors safety, because it aims to avoid reactive maintenance; for this reason, one of the emblematic interventions of this type of maintenance consists in increasing the visibility to the road, for example by improving or increasing the street lighting on the main roads, carriageways and sidewalks.

Best excavator attachments for road maintenance

Each process requires specific accessories to achieve the best possible results.
To choose the best road maintenance attachments, you need to consider both each of these works and the materials involved.
Excavators are the primary piece of equipment for any construction work and the right attachments maximizes their work capacity:

  • auxiliary arms: as we write in this article, the auxiliary arms are so called precisely because they provide assistance to the excavator arm. These are basically extensions that allow the excavator to expand its reach to move the earth, both in height and in depth;

  • buckets: among the most versatile pieces of attachments, perfect for loaders, excavators, or backhoe loaders, they have a bowl shape and, hooked to the final end of the excavator arm, allow the handling of both loose and compact materials;

  • hydraulic thumbs and pliers: useful accessories for picking up and moving concrete fragments, tree stumps and other irregularly shaped objects (for this reason they are also very useful in construction site cleaning and demolition work);

  • hydraulic magnets: designed purely for the handling of ferrous materials, they are useful for sorting and moving all waste and non-concrete materials
