Rota Plane 18
The next "new" thing from Dickson Industries, a vertical shaft grinder. Capable of many functions including highway line removal, trip hazard removal, and bump grinding just to name a few. Available in several sizes, this unit can be powered by a high-flow skid steer loader or one of several Road Pro series grinders from Dickson Industries. What makes the the Rota Plane so unique is the depth control system, each side can be controlled independently via hydraulic cylinders mounted directly to either heat treated, hardened skids or one of two glide wheel arrangements. With both side-to-side pivot and front-to-rear pivot, the Rota Plane maintains perfect contact with the surface.
