Jetmaster Trucks

The AUSROAD® Jetmaster® Road Maintenance Hire Unit is designed to deliver road maintenance tasks:

» Self-loading of emulsion from drum capability

» Heating options available

» All Jetmasters automatic transmission

» Increase your existing repair capacity with a hire unit for a period after rain event

» Operator support throughout hire General maintenance repairs

We have gone to great lengths to ensure our Jetmaster Trucks are tailored to perform road maintenance tasks with optimum efficiency, safety and comfort in mind.

Backed by a three-year warranty, Ausroad Jetmaster Units consistently deliver high quality long-lasting repairs, which subsequently lower road maintenance costs
The Ausroad Jetmaster Road Maintenance Units have the ability to blow all water and debris out of the holes
Can use variable sizes of aggregate without adverse affects on the delivery system
The Ausroad system for aggregate delivery is the only road repair machine using the Venturi system

AUSROAD® Jetmaster

The Ausroad Jetmaster is the trusted name in Road Maintenance plant. Versatility of application makes the Jetmaster a valuable asset in not only routine sheeting and edge repairs, it rapidly deploys to remediate storm damaged pavements over large areas. Ausroad Jetmaster units are commonly utilised on the coastal areas to the remote regions of Australia.

It features the unique Venturi distributer that minimises blockage with other special operator safety features including the non-tipping hopper that eliminates height clearance and weight shifting situations.

The front mounted boom allows full visibility whilst driving reducing operator fatigue.

Operator controlled rear arrow board and roof signage and high profile warning devices makes the unit very noticable to other approaching road users whilst in operation.

Better Functionality

Advantages of the Venturi system

The Venturi distributor eliminates the costly time and maintenance required by the superseded rotor distributing system first developed by Ausroad Systems PL
Will handle any material that flows up to 14 mm, including sand
Saves cleaning down time, as it can be cleaned by sending water through while running
Does not require dismantling at day’s end and needs no oiling.
Does not require the ongoing down-time of cleaning, fitting and adjusting wear pads or ‘O’ Rings
No moving parts
Saves the ongoing cost to time and maintenance of regrinding and replacing and re-fitting the rotor

Specifications

Aggregate hopper capacity of either 4m3 to 6m3
Powered by Power Take Off (PTO) via truck engine, or Auxiliary drive where PTO not available or suitable
Compressor – Piston compressor, hydraulic drive
Blower – High volume low pressure, hydraulic drive.

Hydraulic system

The Jetmaster® hydraulic system is powered via two variable displacement piston pumps, PTO (or Aux engine) driven via the Alison gearbox. Hydraulic manifold and valves are supplied by Southcott Hydraulics, branches Australia wide.

Emulsion systems

Ausroad’s Jetmaster Trucks use pressurised emulsion tanks
Volume capacity is between 1,000-2,000-litres
Vessels are built to AS 1210 1997 standards
All pressurised emulsion tanks have independent safety relief valves and pressure gauges.

Emulsion filling

Filling the emulsion tank is quick and efficient via a two-inch cam lock
All operations can be conducted from ground level
Self-contained equipment can be supplied to allow filling from 210-litre drums
Heating of emulsion can be done either via Inline Heating (from emulsion tank to nozzle) or Overnight Heating (within emulsion tank).

Pressurised water tank

Water tanks provided for flush and wash-down purposes.

Pressurised kerosene tank

Kerosene tank provided for system flush in the event of emulsion failure.

Aggregate hopper and delivery system

A self-tracking conveyor belt carries the aggregate from the hopper.

Storage

Sign storage rack
x 2 large lockable toolboxes.

Controls

The joystick is located in the cab to the right of the driver/operator on operator’s console giving full control of the arm via a joystick. If required, the joystick can be mounted on the left.

Cabin Control System

Our IFM Ecomat control system has been developed to provide a straight forward logical user interface.

The operator has a ‘multi function’ screen mounted on a console to the left of the driver’s position. This screen enables operation of all machine functions as well as adjustment of proportional hydraulics and fault reporting. Please see below for examples of screens.

The IFM system has been developed for ‘mobile’ applications (including the mining industry) and is extremely robust and reliable.

Patching Boom

The remotely controlled Jetmaster delivery boom is mounted at ‘bumper bar’ height. This provides considerable energy savings as it eliminates the need to carry the aggregate and emulsion over the truck cab. It also reduces the overall weight, resulting in greater payload.

The Jetmaster® unit is the only unit available that incorporates an ‘under the cab’ delivery system. This eliminates the suspended ‘over the cab’ boom design. Overall results are:

Lower profile clean design
Straighter delivery path improves efficiency
Safer driving when not patching
Eliminates the possibility of damaging equipment on overhanging object, such as trees or high signage
Truck ground clearance is maintained at or above truck’s original level
