Abstract: The invention comprises a road cutting equipment for cutting grooves, or slots in road surfaces and comprises an apparatus attached to an end of a vehicle. When the apparatus is not in use it is rasied clear of the road surface so that the vehicle can travel over the road surface in normal fashion. When the equipment is to be used it is lowered relative to the vehicle and the vehicle is supported by the equipment on legs of which the lower ends have rollers. At the same time a cutter disc or drum is driven and penetrates the road surface. The equipment in this condition is driven forward, by a drive means which directly drives one or more of said rollers.

Abstract: The invention provides road planing equipment. A beam which lies substantially horizontally in relation to the ground carries a cutting unit for movement thereon. As the cutting unit moves along the beam, it planes the road surface to a controlled depth. The beam is supported at one end by a bracket which can move a frame transversely of the beam to move the beam laterally. The frame is supported on spaced, extensible and contractible legs. At the other end the beam is supported on a single expansible and contractible leg. Thus, the height of the beam above the ground and the angle of the beam in relation to the ground can be adjusted. The beam can be pivoted to an upwardly directed out of use position.
