Trip hazards present a safety risk for cities, municipalities, and property managers everywhere. They are typically defined as a vertical change of at least 1/4 inch and often occur at joints and cracks in sidewalks because of many factors such as tree roots and freeze-thaw cycles in cooler climates.

SMITH's drum scarifiers paired with QuikCut™ PCD shaving drums are ideal for removing trip hazards. Unlike traditional scarifiers which pummel the surface and leave unsightly grooves, SMITH's solution uses revolutionary polycrystalline diamond technology to gently shave the surface. This enables you to remove trip hazards in minutes while leaving a professional surface finish.

Key Benefits

• Speed – removes trip hazards 3X faster than traditional scarifiers
• No Damage – shaves the surface to leave a nice profile
• Low Vibration – reduces operator fatigue and creates a longer life span for the equipment
• Flexibility – great for removing coatings and traffic markings
• Longer Life – SMITH QuikCut PCD cutters last 30X longer than traditional carbide cutters
