The City of McKinney had a demo done by Asphalt Zipper back in Sept. 2019 and we were so impressed with the ease to work with the Zipper and the cost saving that it was a no-brainer for us. The capabilities to reclaim/grind and pulverize the pavement and turn it into a reusable material called RAP (Recycled Asphalt Product) was so appealing. No more trips to take the old asphalt that we dug out the conventional way, using a Backhoe or Gradall and then take that to the landfill. The cost and labor for that was cut in half or more! Plus, now we were able to use the leftover RAP for building a road base for any other projects that we had. The Asphalt Zipper (we bought the 480Xi 260 HP) has been the best money that we have ever spent to rehab the asphalt roadway, from a practical and budgetary standpoint. We no longer have to wait to schedule someone else to get our asphalt roads milled or reclaimed! Eddie Garza, City of McKinney Street Superintendent.
