A Simex PL 2000 cold planer was recently used on the narrow streets of the Tuscan capital Florence in northern Italy. The project involved resurfacing the wearing course at a depth of 30mm, explained Andrea Palmerani, owner of contractor Bitumvie.
“We needed equipment that would guarantee us a large milling surface all the while remaining in the field of compact machines suitable for a city context,” he said. “The 2m-wide drum immediately attracted my attention.”
