Cold milling machines are suited for mechanical removal of deteriorated asphalt pavements in the process of parking lot rehabilitation. Not, only can you remove asphalt pavement quick and effective but contractor can control the depth at which it is removed. The milled asphalt, known as RAP (recycled asphalt pavement), usually is stockpiled prior to reuse in varying percentages in hot mix asphalt mixes for base course or surface or friction courses. The material also can be used in parking lot bases, parking lot fill and even for bike and pedestrian paths in many applications. Bumps, ruts, and other surface irregularities are removed, leaving a uniform textured surface.

Benefits of cold milling, include:

-Improved pavement profiles and cross sections.

-Restored drainage flow and curb reveal.

-Textured surface for skid control and improved bonding.

-Minimal traffic interruption.

-Reclaimed material for future use, and lower maintenance costs.
