Safety Through Superior Technology
Water-Blasting Expertise The Stripe HOG uses ultra – high-pressure water jets and clean, potable water to remove road markings quickly and effectively. This process allows fresh markings to be applied in as little as 20 minutes. The same system can also retexture pavement surfaces, restoring traction lost through dirt, rubber and sediment buildup. By improving surface friction, these treatments help enhance driver safety in all conditions.
Life-Saving Rumble Strips Safety is also central to the Grinder HOG and Rumble HOG. These machines specialize in creating rumble strips, an essential roadway feature proven to reduce accidents by alerting distracted or fatigued drivers who drift from their lanes. With HOG’ s innovative Computer-Controlled Profiling( CCP) system, a single operator can adjust the depth and profile of each cut directly from the cab. This allows contractors to meet varying state specifications quickly without leaving the safety of the cab.
Grooving for Visibility and Durability Both the Grinder HOG and Rumble HOG can also perform pavement grooving, cutting recesses that protect inlaid markings or recessed pavement markers( RPMs). This is particularly valuable in northern states where snowplows routinely scrape road surfaces. Grooves safeguard markings and markers from plow damage, ensuring that drivers can clearly see lanes and boundaries even in harsh winter conditions.
