TxDOT's Longview Maintenance Section works with an "Asphalt Zipper" mounted on the bucket of an articulated loader. The Zipper, a smaller mill machine, grinds up a narrow segment of pavement as part of a mill-and-inlay operation. Because of the narrower cut, a Bobcat loader pushes a smaller laydown machine for the hot-mix inlay.
