Asphalt Zipper has developed the new 300XLP and 420XLP low-profile high-powered reclaimer models designed specifically for use with compact track loaders (CTLs).
The new attachments now empower contractors and municipal crews to perform utility trenching, surface milling, full-depth reclamation and soil stabilization with power and depth previously only available through large self-contained machines.
The new XLP models include a dedicated 130 hp Cummins engine and deliver up to 25 cm of cutting depth in a single pass. The 300XLP cuts 36-cm wide, while the 420XLP expands capability to a 106-cm cut width.
The reclaimer is operated by a control box in the cab or remote control to adjust rpms, the clutch and depth of the cutter head.
“This is a huge leap forward,” said Terry Hansen, CEO of Asphalt Zipper.
“Our new low-profile models unlock serious production power for thousands of crews who already own compact track loaders. They now have the ability to do high-quality reclamation, surface milling and milling jobs on their own terms — without needing to rent, wait for subcontractors or compromise on quality.”

Asphalt Zipper entered the equipment industry in the 90s as a manufacturer of milling attachments for larger machines like backhoes and wheel loaders. However, their clients began asking for a tool that would work on their compact equipment as well, leading the company to create the new reclaimers.
Customers also asked for the ability to cut 25-cm deep to tackle trenching, full-depth reclamation and stabilization.
“That is unheard of in the industry. Most machines will go a max depth of 6 inches,” said Shane Beck, Western US Territory Manager for Asphalt Zipper.
The low-profile redesign improves line-of-sight and balance for safety and visibility. As well, the reclaimer can reduce labour and material costs by eliminating the need for subcontractors and reusing milled material on the jobsite.
