What should you tell us about the job?

Every MAC road planer comes with an operator. Tell us what needs removing, whether the planer and wagons can get in and where the removed material will go.

01

What needs removing?

Send the approximate area, cutting width and depth. Tell us whether it is an open run, patches, trenches or detailed work.

02

Can the planer and wagons get in?

Send the narrowest access, site restrictions, working space, date and working hours.

03

Where will the removed material go?

Tell us who will keep or receive it and whether you need MAC to quote for tippers, sweeping or haulage.
