Total Rockbreaking ART 1000 GEN II: asphalt rehab efficiency for pavement engineers
Reviewed by Joe Ashwell
First reported on Roads & Infrastructure (AU)
30 Second Briefing
Simex is launching the second-generation ART 1000 GEN II road maintenance attachment, designed for in-situ regeneration of asphalt with zero waste by milling, mixing and relaying material in a single pass. The patented unit, supplied locally by Total Rockbreaking Solutions, mounts on standard carriers and treats only the damaged lane area, avoiding full-depth reconstruction and reducing haulage of spoil and new asphalt. For pavement engineers, the system targets faster patching cycles, lower material consumption and improved lifecycle performance on heavily trafficked urban and arterial roads.
Technical Brief
- Simex’s patented configuration allows milling, mixing and relaying to be sequenced without changing tools or machines.
Our Take
Within our Infrastructure coverage, Australia-based equipment suppliers like Total Rockbreaking increasingly appear in Sustainability-tagged pieces, signalling that contractors are being pushed to get more productivity from existing plant rather than expanding fleets.
Product-focused Infrastructure articles in our database often highlight attachment-based solutions similar to Simex tools, which tend to be favoured on Australian projects where transport distances and mobilisation costs make multi-purpose machines more attractive than specialised units.
The mix of Product and Projects tags here aligns with other Roads & Infrastructure Magazine items that emphasise lifecycle performance; for Australian civil contractors this usually translates into closer scrutiny of wear rates, fuel burn, and noise on urban jobs rather than headline purchase price alone.
