Founded in 1981, Roadtec, Inc. began as a manu- facturer of asphalt pavers. Today, Roadtec offers an extensive product line, including cold planers, soil stabilizers, brooms and material transfer vehicles. In 2014, Roadtec continued to refine and expand its product line to provide more value to customers both domestically and internationally. The RX-300e mill- ing machine and the SP-100e asphalt paver were both introduced at ConExpo 2014. The RX-300e milling machine is designed to cut at variable widths using a common cutter housing. The versatility of the machine makes it suitable for work in the United States and in the International market. The SP-100e "Stealth" paver is designed for use in conjunction with the SB-2500e material transfer vehicle. The design aspect of the SP-100e that sets it apart from other pavers is the delivery of material from the hopper to the screed. The SP-100e uses a gravity fed hopper to transfer material to the screed box. The benefit of this design lies with the drastic reduction in wear parts. No conveyor chains, slats, or floor plates are used with the SP-100e. The lower operating costs make this machine an excellent choice for contractors using the SB-2500e Shuttle Buggy. Roadtec will carry its expanded product line into 2015 with optimism and continued focus on cus- tomer support and satisfaction. Left › Right: 1.
