JCB has brought its Pothole Pro to the U.S., a three-in-one machine that the company says can reduce pothole repairs to 8 minutes.
The special attachment system on the company’s Hydradig 110W wheeled excavator can cut, crop and clean – completing a pothole repair or patch job in a fraction of the time it takes traditional methods. The only thing it doesn’t do is lay the asphalt.
JCB product manager Javier Marin comes on The Dirt to give a closer look at the Pothole Pro, answering all your questions about how it works.
JCB rolled out the Pothole Pro in England in 2021 and has recently brought it to the U.S. for sale after being tested in municipalities in Pennsylvania. It says the machine can repair 299 cubic yards in a single shift and 6,540 cubic yards in a month, cutting costs in half. It is also designed to make those repairs permanent, not just quick fixes.
