Make each stage of the process, from milling, removal, and repair easier with Blue Diamond®! From removing the asphalt and gathering the rubble to making small scale repairs, we’ve got cold planers, buckets, grinders, brooms, and more to make it go fast!

Cold Planers

When removing asphalt surfaces prior to repair, cold planers will do be doing the bulk of the heavy lifting. When the quality of the job is at stake, you need the best tools!

One of the most important things to look for is depth control and consistent milling. Blue Diamond® focuses on providing the best experience possible. Keep cuts even and consistent with the unique dead shaft bearing that supports the drum and supplies needed stability and balance. And with easy-to-read control markings on each shoe for the depth and tilt, you’ll always know exactly what cut you’re making.

In addition, our cold planers have a large side shift feature allowing you to cut close to curbs. Our side shift is large enough to cut outside the dimensions of tires and tracks of skid steers on the market today. And with the specially designed slim profile skid shoes, you can make every cut with confidence and high quality.

Our cold planers are engineered with high-end components for the longest lifespan and reliability. We only use parts we trust so our planers are made with the Sauer hydraulic piston motor and the Fairfield planetary hub. In addition to the standard drum configuration intended for asphalt milling, Blue Diamond offers a fine cut option with more teeth for precision work. You can also opt for concrete teeth depending on your needs!

Hydraulic Breakers

When concrete or asphalt needs to be completely removed instead of repaired, breakers are one of the best skid steer attachments for asphalt and concrete. They quickly break up large areas to be hauled away.  

Hydraulic Breaker

The Blue Diamond® Hydraulic Breakers are built better and have a robust design that can handle extreme applications. We designed a mono-block housing that does not include tie rods. With no tie rods, this design style increases reliability and decreases service costs! Our industry leading breaker can be resealed without removing the breaker from the internal case, further lowering service costs.

The breakers also feature a self-regulating design that keeps operation simple. Innovative component design controls the incoming and outgoing flows meaning you don’t have to monitor flow or pressure.

This world class breaker prevents back blow damage with the large dimension accumulator. The accumulator supplies power to the breaker while protecting the hydraulic pump and pipeline. Stop spending your time re-gassing the system!

Hydraulic Breaker Features

  • Self-regulating valve 
  • No blank firing and no re-gassing! 
  • Monoblock design with no tie rods 
  • No back shock blow damage

Slab Bucket

When removing large chunks and slabs of concrete, many workers will use a standard utility bucket. Using a standard bucket this way can easily cause damage and shorten the lifespan of the attachment. Instead of damaging your standard bucket, Blue Diamond® offers an alternative bucket that is specially designed to handle prying abuse.  

The specialized Slab Bucket is a skid steer attachment designed for prying up heavy pieces of asphalt and concrete. With the heavy-duty replaceable cast teeth and cutting edge, you can confidently get a firm grip on a slab while digging under it. With a reinforced quick attach mount, this attachment is safer and more efficient than using a regular bucket or pallet forks.

  • 3/4” sides and 1” X 8” cutting edge 
  • Cast replaceable teeth 
  • Reinforced quick attach for prying 
  • Powder coat paint

Skid Steer Attachments for Removing Concrete and Asphalt Debris 

Aside from using a regular utility or dumpster bucket to haul away debris, brooms are a skid steer attachment that can make removal of asphalt and concrete easier. Gather all the debris near your dumpster or disposal site, saving time.

Pickup Brooms

Pickup brooms gather debris while sweeping. When cleaning large areas, these brooms are necessary as they can move debris longer distances. Blue Diamond® offers pickup brooms for both mini and full-size skid steers ranging from 42” to 96” widths.

Sweeping asphalt and concrete debris can easily damage sweeping attachments. Blue Diamond® includes protective guards on the motor and shaft so the hard debris doesn’t damage the expensive components.

Our Pickup Brooms are designed to be durable and long lasting with oversized bearings and spindles. We’ve reinforced the heavy wear areas so this broom can endure abusive environments. The wear bars on the bottom of the bucket and the oversized bolt-on edge add strength and longevity.

Leave nothing behind with the optional gutter brush and bolt-on skirting that keeps debris under the hood. Add on the low-profile water kit and keep dust to a minimum while sweeping.

Rotary Angle Brooms

Rotary brooms make quick work of cleaning up gravel, dirt, and other debris from job sites. These brooms easily gather this debris to have it removed.

Blue Diamond® offers several different models of angle broom depending on your needs. All Blue Diamond’s rotary angle brooms have stands to protect bristles while in storage and have poly, steel, or poly/steel bristles available. Add on a water kit to keep dust to a minimum on any model!

For everyday asphalt work, the Severe Duty Angle Broom will easily withstand daily use even in tough conditions. This model is designed with a floating head design and has simultaneous hydraulic angle and bristle operation so you can adjust the angle while sweeping. Oversized main shaft spindles, grease fittings on pivot points, and the welded heavy-duty cylinder keep this attachment going day after day.
