Road Widener Offers Curb Backfiller Accessory
BY AsphaltPro Staff
Road Widener, Delafield, Wisconsin, offers the curb backfiller accessory for the FH-R material placement attachment. The accessory extends to the left or right of the FH-R and is designed to precisely dispense material over the curb to backfill with dirt or aggregate. Paired with the FH-R, the curb backfiller boosts efficiency, accuracy and safety by replacing a backfilling method typically done manually by workers with shovels. Crew members can operate it with the original FH-R remote.
The curb backfiller attaches to the FH-R and can fill on the righthand side by default, or the left, with dual configuration. The curb backfiller accessory eliminates the need for street sweepers. Contractors can accomplish more with their host machine without having to haul in additional, heavy equipment. Furthermore, the accessory keeps new curbs intact with a protective wheel that prevents the accessory from scraping against the curb, providing not only a better backfill, but also a longer curb life.
