Road Profiler for skid steer hire

Road Profiler

A powered cutting drum removes a controlled layer of pavement. The drum, cutting tools, carrier hydraulics and cooling requirements need to suit the material and milling depth.

When to choose it

  • Preparing asphalt patches and tie-ins
  • Removing pavement for service reinstatement
  • Milling surface defects or specified pavement layers

When it’s not the right call

  • Unmatched hydraulics. The model's flow, pressure, cooling and any case-drain requirement must match the loader.
  • Unassessed concrete. Concrete and reinforcement need appropriate tooling and a material assessment.
  • Uncontrolled dust or traffic. Milling needs a site-specific dust, traffic and exclusion plan.

Sizes we work with

The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

Using your own machine or hiring ours? Include that in your enquiry.

The Right Setup Starts Here

Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.

  • Pavement: Asphalt or concrete, condition, reinforcement and underlying services.
  • Milling: Width, depth, area and required finish.
  • Site controls: Water/dust controls, traffic management and removal of millings.
  • Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions

What is a skid steer road profiler used for?

Milling asphalt and suitable pavement for patches, tie-ins and service reinstatement.

Can a profiler mill concrete?

It depends on the profiler, tools and concrete condition, including reinforcement.

Does a profiler collect millings?

No, removing millings is a separate step.

Does a profiler need water?

Cooling and dust requirements depend on the model; confirm water availability.

Will a road profiler fit my skid steer or track loader?

Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The road profiler's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
