A cold planer is a heavy construction machine used for milling asphalt and concrete surfaces during road construction and maintenance tasks.
It operates by removing the surface layer of asphalt or concrete without the need for heating, making the process more environmentally friendly by reducing waste and allowing for material recycling.
Cold planers are equipped with powerful cutters and are effective in both small-scale road repairs and large-scale resurfacing projects.
They are valued for their efficiency and minimal impact on the surrounding environment and the properties of the materials being milled.
