CUBEX has been appointed distributor in Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba and Ontario for the Road Widener attachment.
The Road Widener can be operated in conjunction with skid steers, loaders, graders and backhoes. It is easily attached/detached via its ‘Quick Connect Coupler’. The conveyor belt system accommodates hot mix asphalt as well as any other aggregate. Applications for the Road Widener include shouldering, road widening, trench backfilling and asphalt patching.
The attachment was originally designed and developed by a paving contractor, out of necessity, in Wisconsin where it is still manufactured today. The machine was designed for highway departments, road contractors, landscapers and others who need to spread aggregate, particularly along roads where more flexibility is needed or for use in tighter conditions such as trails, paths and driveways. It also is used for trench work. Owners of the Road Widener skid steer attachment also use the machine to spread landscaping soil and asphalt.
Road Widener’s innovative design makes it extremely flexible for use on road shoulders, driveways, trails and paths. It is easily maneuvered around road signs, guard rails, mailboxes and other structures along roads or paths and can disperse a 20-ton truckload of aggregate in minutes. The Road Widener has a universal attachment, can be lifted by a skid loader, can be moved with a pick-up truck and can be transported by any common-width carrier.
The Road Widener is offered with a right-hand discharge as well as the original left-hand discharge. Both the right-side-discharge and left-side-discharge machines will spread material in 1- to 3.5-foot widths.
