When you're rebuilding roads or managing debris, you face a choice — disposal or reuse. Road reclaimers play an important role in preparing land for new uses, specifically by collecting debris and helping you repurpose it for further use. At Thompson Tractor, we make it easy for you to improve site sustainability while saving time and money. Explore our road reclaimers from Caterpillar, one of the world's top choices for heavy-duty equipment.
Your Source for Versatile Cat® Road Reclaimers
Here, you’ll find some of the newest and top-selling Cat® road reclaimer models for all your construction, demolition, and related projects. Our Alabama and northwestern Florida clients choose our new and used models for their operations involving:
- Full-depth reclamation (FDR): Collecting asphalt, gravel, and similar materials for reuse is a heavy-duty job, but our road reclaimers complete it with ease. These machines can collect, mix, and disperse yards of material at a time.
- Soil stabilization: From residential roads to agricultural fields, Cat road reclaimers are prepared to work with any substances by mixing in the necessary stabilizers and additives and redispersing them over a set area.
- Asphalt recycling: When your asphalt and debris are no longer suitable for your applications, our road reclaimers also help break down and transport material for recycling and reuse in other projects.
Reclamation vs. Reconstruction: Which Is Best for Your Project?
When rebuilding a road or cleaning up debris, many operations have moved away from simple disposal. Instead, they seek more environmentally conscious ways to minimize pollution and save money. Two common approaches are reclamation — reconstituting materials for use in the same project — and recycling, which breaks materials down for use elsewhere.
Road reclaimers can be a helpful tool in both processes. As you consider the best option for you, think about:
- Material quality: High-quality materials can be reclaimed and reused many times before they break down enough to be recycled.
- Material availability: Reclamation may be preferred if you work with hard-to-find or expensive materials you would otherwise have to do without.
- Cost efficiency: Dependent on the stabilizers and other materials you may need, reclamation is usually more affordable than recycling and purchasing entirely new materials.
