Concrete Planer Attachments for Skidsteers

A concrete grinder abrades the surface using flat discs to smooth or polish, removing only shallow material. A concrete planer, by contrast, uses rotating milling drums with carbide cutters to remove much deeper material, making it suited for surface removal, leveling, and rebar-reinforced concrete demolition rather than finishing work.

Cutting depth depends on the drum, cutter configuration, and skidsteer power, but skidsteer-mounted planer attachments using Rolling Wedge Milling Drums are available in cut widths from 18 to 40 inches and can mill through full-depth reinforced concrete sections, including surfaces with dowel bars, in a single pass.

Concrete planers are used for surface removal ahead of resurfacing, roadway and bridge deck rehabilitation, joint milling, and demolition of reinforced concrete containing rebar or wire mesh. Skidsteer-mounted units allow this work on confined or tight job sites where large milling machines can't operate.

Yes. Rolling Wedge concrete milling tools are engineered specifically to cut hardened concrete, including reinforced concrete with rebar and wire mesh, using a rolling-wedge-lifting action that exploits concrete's low tensile strength for cleaner, lower-resistance cuts than traditional carbide picks.

Yes, Rolling Wedge milling tools are designed to mill asphalt and concrete simultaneously in a single pass without swapping tooling, which reduces downtime on mixed-surface job sites such as roadway joints and parking lots with variable substrates.

Rolling Wedge milling tools typically require replacement every 1 to 3 months of active use, compared to twice-weekly replacement for traditional carbide picks, thanks to a rolling cutting action that distributes wear evenly across nine carbide teeth per tool.
