Champion Roadmaster System
Champion Motor Graders and its development partners chose the National Pavement Expo, Nashville, TN, to demonstrate the Roadmaster Ride Quality Improvement System. The flagship component of the system is the Roadmaster RP626 asphalt profiler, consisting of a 6-ft. grinder cutting head mounted under the front frame of a dedicated Champion C60 motor grader.

The profiler smooths asphalt surfaces by grinding away any bumps and irregularities within tolerances of 1/8 in. or less. Its 26-in.-diameter by 6-ft.-wide drum includes 218 carbide teeth. The double-wrap cutting head can fine-finish up to two lane/miles per shift.

The RP626 is powered by a 200-hp Cummins QSB 6.7 engine matched to an infinitely variable hydrostatic drive transmission. The rugged chassis and hydrostatic drive system are designed for maximum power and control.

Finish profiling is only the first of three steps in the Roadmaster system. It is followed by a sealer to fill any remaining cracks in the surface, then a rejuvenator to restore life and resiliency to old asphalt.

Zanetis Road Hog
The SSP Series Road Hog planer attachment from Zanetis Power Attachments quickly converts your backhoe-loader or wheel loader into a milling machine. It is compatible with carriers over 13,000 lbs., and is available with pin-on or optional quick-attach brackets.
