Keeping road restrictions as short as possible is vital for projects of any size, to minimise excess costs and reduce disruptions to road users.

SIMEX Planers are designed to enhance on-site efficiency, helping road projects stay on time and within budget.

To further improve execution speed, SIMEX has introduced the PL2000, the largest road cold planer for compact loaders, featuring a 2,000mm-wide milling drum – the largest currently available on the market.

Optimizing road surface rehabilitation

The PL2000 is a game-changer for milling deteriorated road surfaces in preparation for resurfacing.

It enables operators to remove entire layers of asphalt or cement in preparation for trenching or mill deteriorated sections for later resurfacing and create a sustainable outcome by reusing milled material for backfilling trenches.

This innovative planer is equipped with advanced features that set it apart on-site:

  • Independent depth adjustment on both the right and left sides, ensuring perfectly flat surfaces – essential for large areas such as car parks and forecourts
  • Hydraulic side shift, allowing for precise milling flush to walls and sidewalks
  • Floating transverse tilt, keeping the planer aligned with the road surface, even when the base machine is not parallel to the ground
  • The SIMEX patented self-levelling system maintaining consistent milling depth regardless of road conditions
  • The dust suppression system with integrated and increased water tank, eliminating the need for a secondary tank on the base machine

Expanding the SIMEX planer range

The PL2000 complements SIMEX’s existing range of 14 self-levelling road planers and stabilisers, offering milling widths from 250mm to 2,000mm and depths of up to 350mm.

These planers are ideal for small and medium-sized works, especially in tight spaces, around potholes, or near kerbs – ensuring a safer and more efficient milling process.

Quality manufacturing and reliable support

With over 30 years of expertise in Italian manufacturing, SIMEX products are renowned for their quality and durability. In Australia, they are available through the SIMEX authorised dealership network, ensuring professional support:

  • Walkers Hammers (VIC, SA, TAS), walkershammers.com.au
  • Groundtec (NSW), groundtec.com.au
  • QLD Rock Breakers (QLD and NT), rdw.com.au/qld-rock-breakers
