Much like Sisyphus and his bolder, asphalt repair is an ongoing and relentless task. Whether from natural forces like sun, rain, oxidation, or even tree roots, or else more man-made reasons like chemical spills and heavy vehicles, our roadways endure the worst of our transportation system’s wear and tear, while also needing to maintain the integrity necessary to keep wheels moving nationwide. Keeping these roadways safe and functioning requires skill and dedication that not many companies would take on in the first place. But they are not Cimline.

Since 1970, Cimline has focused on pioneering technologies specifically designed to help preserve the roadways of the world. By focusing on innovation aimed at safety, productivity, and sustainability Cimline offers unique machines for crack sealing, pothole repair and emulsion storage, as well as vent flow nozzles for spray injection patching, oil jacketed kettles with dual temperature control for safety, and heat blanketed storage tanks designed for asphalt emulsion. This focus on excellence continues to drive contractor, municipal, and Federal markets to make pavement maintenance more effective and efficient.

Today, we’re looking at how Cimline stands out as a leader in asphalt repair and roadway safety and preservation. Haaker Equipment is proud to offer Cimline equipment for many reasons, but today we’ll just share our Top 5.

Why Cimline Stands Out in Asphalt Repair Equipment

1. Innovation: Cimline’s commitment to innovation sets them apart in the pavement preservation industry. Their engineering teams are not just reactive but proactive, constantly developing and delivering cutting-edge products that redefine how pavement repair and preservation are approached. Recognized with prestigious awards like Asphalt Contractor Magazine’s 2018 Award Winner and the Top 30 Editor’s Choice Awards from 2017 for their C1 Mastic Machine, Cimline consistently leads the way in introducing technologies that enhance efficiency and effectiveness in asphalt maintenance. The Road & Bridges 2017 Contractors Choice Awards further validate their impact with the P5 DuraPatcher. These accolades underscore Cimline’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in pavement repair, ensuring that every innovation not only meets but exceeds industry standards. Whether it’s developing equipment that simplifies complex processes or pioneering new techniques to extend the lifespan of asphalt surfaces, Cimline remains at the forefront of transforming the pavement industry.
2. Safety: Safety is paramount in pavement maintenance, and Cimline prioritizes this in every aspect of their equipment design and operation. Beyond the aesthetic concerns of pavement repair, which can pose serious hazards like tripping and potential accidents, Cimline’s products are engineered with a deep understanding of operational and worksite safety. Take the M-Series Crack Sealer Machine, for example. It boasts the lowest load height in the pavement maintenance industry, reducing strain on operators and minimizing risks during operation. Noise levels are also reduced by up to 40%, enhancing the working environment and ensuring better communication among crew members. Automatic controls simplify training, making it easier for operators to learn and use the equipment effectively, further contributing to worksite safety. Additionally, the ergonomically designed M-Series Lightweight wand and Dripless wand, along with heated hoses, enhance user comfort and operational efficiency. By integrating these safety-focused features into their equipment, Cimline not only enhances the longevity of paved surfaces but also safeguards the well-being of those tasked with maintaining them, setting a new standard for safety in the industry.
3. Precision: Precision is the cornerstone of effective asphalt maintenance, and Cimline understands that the quality of equipment directly impacts the quality of the final product. Investing in superior equipment is not just about achieving a smooth surface; it’s about ensuring the longevity and integrity of the pavement. Even with the best equipment, human error can be a factor, but Cimline mitigates this with innovative solutions like the MA4 Longitudinal Joint Sealer. As the first towable VRAM (Void Reducing Asphalt Membrane) applicator that does not require a CDL (Commercial Driver’s License), it simplifies operations while maintaining precision, regardless of operator experience. This underscores Cimline’s commitment to making precision accessible and consistent, ensuring that every repair job, from minor cracks to major potholes, meets the highest standards of quality and durability. By equipping contractors with tools that enhance precision and performance, Cimline empowers them to deliver superior results efficiently, setting a new benchmark for excellence in asphalt maintenance.
4. Longevity: Asphalt is the most recycled material in the U.S., with the continuous freeze-thaw cycle and natural wear and tear necessitating ongoing repairs and maintenance. Cimline’s range of high-quality asphalt repair equipment, such as the ME-Series of Mastic Melters, plays a crucial role in ensuring the longevity of paved surfaces. These melters are not only robustly constructed but also feature automotive-grade paint for lasting protection against the elements, making them ideal in even the most extreme work environments. Their design is optimized for durability and ease of use, minimizing downtime and maximizing operational efficiency. By investing in equipment that prioritizes durability and reliability, contractors can confidently tackle asphalt maintenance projects, knowing they have the tools to deliver long-lasting results while their equipment works perfectly for years to come.
5. Affordability: In today’s budget-conscious environment, efficiency and cost-effectiveness are paramount in pavement maintenance. Cimline’s innovative DuraPatcher technology exemplifies their approach to affordability, offering state-of-the-art solutions that provide permanent fixes for asphalt issues in a prompt and economical manner. The P5™ One-Person Patcher with DuraPatcher™ Technology is a standout example, streamlining pothole repair operations with minimal crew requirements and reducing the need for repeated patching. This not only saves time and labor costs but also minimizes public disruption, making it an ideal choice for municipalities and contractors alike. The spray injection process employed by DuraPatcher technology ensures durable repairs that withstand the elements, contributing to long-term cost savings by reducing the frequency of maintenance interventions. By investing in Cimline’s affordable yet high-performance equipment, organizations can achieve significant operational efficiencies and cost savings over the lifecycle of their paved surfaces, demonstrating Cimline’s commitment to delivering value without compromising on quality or reliability.

We could extol the virtues of Cimline indefinitely, and we undoubtedly will as they continue to innovate and lead the way in pavement maintenance. However, for now, let’s conclude with our Top 5 list intact, albeit giving our competitors a brief moment to catch up with Cimline’s relentless pace of advancement. Innovative, safe, precise, long-lasting, and affordable, Cimline asphalt repair equipment stands as the perfect choice for any team tasked with maintaining roadways. Whether you’re filling cracks, patching potholes, or sealing joints, Cimline’s dedication to excellence ensures that every project meets the highest standards of quality and durability.
