An Impressive Pothole Pro Performance
This year, the Pothole Pro has been put through its paces during a six-week trial with CR Macdonald Surfacing.
A New Way of Working
CR Macdonald Surfacing has offered a broad range of surfacing services for the last twenty years, including roads, car parks, forecourts, playgrounds and loading bays. As trusted industry professionals, they provide unparalleled service and long-term solutions and, in 2024, they were contracted to complete road resurfacing for Gloucestershire Council.
The council were keen to explore new technologies for pothole repair, improving the speed, costs, and health and safety of road repairs. One solution the council wanted to explore was the JCB Pothole Pro. On a leading contractor’s recommendation, the team at CR Macdonald turned to Dawsongroup emc, the official UK contract hire partner for the Pothole Pro, to supply the technology for a six-week trial period.
The team at CR MacDonald turned to Rob Falkenthal-Smith, the Plant Team Sales Executive for Dawsongroup emc, to get the most out of their trial. Rob has collaborated closely with the team, from introducing Dawsongroup and the benefits of hiring the Pothole Pro, to discussing the hiring agreement and arranging product transportation. Rob has been an integral part of the journey, ensuring quick and responsive actions.
Why the Pothole Pro?
The Pothole Pro is a unique 3-in-1 solution cut, crop, and clean, repairing roads in a fraction of the time and cost of traditional solutions. Available on a Dawsongroup emc Smarter Asset Strategy, councils and contractors can benefit from this revolutionary equipment without committing to ownership.
Dawsongroup emc offers more than just access to this equipment on short-term contract hire. The team understands that the Pothole Pro is a new experience for many users and is committed to making this transition stress-free. Dave Stubbs, Product Trainer for Dawsongroup emc, provides in-person training, passing on the required knowledge and techniques.
“Dave has given our team a strong understanding of the kit, enabling them to lay between 120-170 metres of road daily,” said Jason Hill, Director of MacDonalds. “Not only has this helped to reduce project costs, but it has also lowered the CO2 emissions, and essential part of compliance with health and safety regulations nowadays.”
CR Macdonald and the Gloucester Council were impressed with the Pothole Pro’s performance during its trial period. It proved an efficient and effective road repair solution, and its full road legality enabled the team to drive it to the site with additional transport.
