The Road Badger is a unique, highly versatile
patented (both methodology & apparatus) piece of road restoration equipment.
It is used for dirt, gravel, and lightly surfaced road product rehabilitation,
road material aeration, redemption and conservation as well as the blending
of binders and dust abatement products into traveling surfaces.
The “Road Badger” connects to the rear of a
power unit such as a grader or tractor and is used to rehabilitate and
extend the serviceability of gravel, cold mixed, oiled and dust abated roads. The “Road
Badger” is effective on most roads comprised of a road sub-base made up of
material indigenous to the locale over which a road base is constructed
using compacted material over which a traveling surface of two inches or
more is laid down. This traveling surface is made up of material (normally
aggregate and fines) to create what is commonly referred to as a gravel
road, or with the addition of oil, an oiled surface road, or with the
addition of an emulsified or cut back asphalt product, what is commonly
referred to as cold mix pavement.
Rather than regularly
placing large quantities of additional gravel, emulsifiers and dust
abatement products to replenish the traveling surface, the “Road Badger”
operates a patented scarifier and disc system to break up the road surface
and work the existing gravel, emulsifiers and dust abated products allowing
the grader to restore the road surface, remove surface defects and provide
an improved traveling surface without disturbing the existing road grade.
When operating on cold mixed paved roads the machine breaks up the existing
cold mix pavement which can then be refreshed, reshaped and re-compacted.
The savings which may result from utilizing the “Road Badger” include, among
others, the decrease in replacement granular, binding and dust abatement
products as well as associated hauling, equipment, fuel and labour costs.
