Have you ever wondered which piece of Surface Preparation Equipment is the most versatile and profitable?

The answer is the EDCO CPM-8 Scarifier.

Although the machine is primarily known for its concrete and asphalt milling capabilities, the CPM8 is much more than a one-trick-pony.  In fact, there are many reasons to purchase a CPM8. If you already own one, there may be other moneymaking applications you’ve never considered.  For example, EDCO’s CPM8 Scarifier can be used to remove floor coverings, traffic lines, and level off the often-overlooked sidewalk trip hazard.  Looking for more applications?  The CPM8 can be used to clean surfaces and prepare them for new coatings.  If you still aren’t convinced of the CPM-8’s versatility, consider this question: Do you have an outside ramp that becomes a slip hazard every time it rains?  If so the machine can groove concrete and create non-slip surfaces that prevent falls.

The most popular accessory for the CPM-8 is the Tungsten Carbide Cutter.  For milling and removal projects, fit the rotating drum with 78 cutters to create a general purpose set up.  When I remove trip hazards I prefer to use 90 Carbides.  More cutters create a tighter scarifying pattern.  The hazard is removed leaving a perfect non-slip surface.  Setting up a grooving pattern is a breeze; simply measure the groove needed and install the carbides accordingly.  These accessories also remove Thermal Plastic Traffic Lines.  To remove Painted Traffic Lines, use the EDCO Pointed Steel Cutters.  These cutters are less aggressive and leave a finer textured surface.  The Pointed Steel Cutters are also great for thicker elastomeric and rubber based coatings.

Let’s talk about the CPM8’s Return On Investment (ROI).  Believe me when I tell you, the CPM-8 can pay for itself in just 15 Daily Rentals!  The carbide cutters will last throughout those rentals, you’ll recoup the money spent on those accessories in just 5 daily rentals.  That means over $1500.00 profit in accessories alone!

Hopefully this information about the EDCO CPM8 will open your mind to new opportunities.  So get out there and rent that scarifier and if you don’t own one, put it on your buying list. The CPM-8 Scarifier is a great moneymaker for any rental business.
