Road-marker Removal
At Surfprep we are able to carry out road-marker removal faster than ever before.
Our bobcat mounted road-marker removal grinders are able to remove any form of road-marker be it painted markings, thermoplastic markings, cold applied plastic (CAP) markings and even raised pavement markings (RPM’s). We use both our road sweeping broom buckets as well as road sweeping trucks for rapid clean up. All this adds up to Surfprep enabling our customers to carry out road marking changes and lane shifts faster than anyone else. All our bobcats are road registered and fitted with hazard lights, flashing beacons, reversing beacons and rear view mirrors for safety.
