Pothole, Curb and Sidewalk Repair Equipment for Municipal Crews
Street and sidewalk repair is short setups, tight lanes and traffic moving past your cones. You mill the patch, break out the bad concrete, sweep the surface clean and get the lane back open. We help Ohio and Indiana municipalities build crews around machines that do all three.
Mill a clean patch edge
A good patch starts with a square, uniform cut, and a skid steer with a cold planer gives you that without a crew of saws and jackhammers. Standard flow machines like the 316 P-Tier and 318 P-Tier handle sidewalk and apron work. For full-depth street patching and wider drums, step up to the 320 P-Tier, 324 P-Tier, 330 P-Tier or 334 P-Tier, where high-flow hydraulics are available to keep the planer cutting at a steady pace all shift.
Break concrete in tight spots
Curb returns, catch basin collars and heaved sidewalk panels need a hammer with reach, not a machine that fills the lane. A compact excavator with a hydraulic hammer breaks the panel, then swaps to a bucket to dig out the base and load spoil. The 17 P-Tier and 26 P-Tier fit between trees and parked cars. The 30 P-Tier, 35 P-Tier and 40 P-Tier carry bigger hammers for street and curb work.
Sweep before you open the lane
Millings and broken concrete left on the pavement become complaints and windshield claims. A compact track loader with an angle broom clears the patch area before the tack coat and sweeps the lane again before the cones come down. Tracks spread the weight so the machine is not marking fresh patches or soft shoulder. The 317 P-Tier and 325 P-Tier suit most sidewalk crews, while the 331 P-Tier, 333 P-Tier and 335 P-Tier carry larger brooms and run them harder.
The kit for this job
Every machine here earns its place on the trailer. Tell us the job and we will spec the shortest kit that covers it.
Skid steers
The cold planer carrier. Mills out the failed pavement and leaves a square, uniform patch the crew can fill the same day.
316 P-Tier · 318 P-Tier · 320 P-Tier · 324 P-Tier · 330 P-Tier · 334 P-Tier
Compact excavators, smallest class
For sidewalk panels, tree lawns and work behind the curb where there is no room to swing. Hammer out the slab, then dig and grade the base.
17 P-Tier · 26 P-Tier
Compact excavators, street class
Enough weight to run a larger hydraulic hammer on curb returns, catch basins and full-depth street failures, and still load a tandem from the lane.
30 P-Tier · 35 P-Tier · 40 P-Tier · 50 P-Tier · 60 P-Tier
Compact track loaders
Broom carrier for cleanup before tack and before reopening the lane. Also moves pallets of patch mix and hauls spoil off soft ground.
317 P-Tier · 325 P-Tier · 331 P-Tier · 333 P-Tier · 335 P-Tier
Compact wheel loaders
Feeds the operation at the yard and the job. Loads stone, millings and cold patch fast, and travels between setups on its own wheels.
184 G-Tier · 204 G-Tier · 244 P-Tier · 304 G-Tier · 324 P-Tier
Questions we get on this job
Do I need high flow hydraulics for a cold planer?
It depends on drum width. Narrow sidewalk and utility cut planers run on standard flow machines, but wider street drums cut far better on a high flow skid steer. Tell us the patch sizes you deal with and we will match the machine to the drum rather than the other way around.
Should the hammer go on a skid steer or an excavator?
An excavator puts the hammer on a boom, so you can reach over a curb, work along a wall and place blows where you want them. A skid steer hammer pushes from the front and is harder to control on edge work. For curb, sidewalk and catch basin repair, we usually point municipalities to a compact excavator.
Can one machine cover all three steps?
A skid steer or compact track loader can mill, sweep and load with attachment changes, and plenty of smaller crews run it that way. Most of the municipal crews we see settle at around three machines so the cutting, breaking and cleanup can happen without waiting on couplers.
Can we see these machines before we buy?
Yes. We will arrange a demo on your own street or sidewalk project so your operators run the machine on real patch work. We stock parts for this equipment and our technicians are trained on it, which matters when a repair season is already underway.
