2020 - Roadtec RX505E Cold Milling

About this machine

This Roadtec RX505E is a used cold milling machine — also commonly referred to as a cold planer or road milling machine — available from a seller in New York, USA, priced at $529,900. Cold milling machines are used in road construction and maintenance to remove and recycle the surface layer of asphalt or concrete pavements, producing a precisely profiled surface ready for resurfacing or structural repair. Roadtec is a well-established American manufacturer with a long history of producing asphalt paving, milling, and material transfer equipment for road construction contractors and highway departments.

This 2020 machine is powered by a Cummins QSX-15 engine rated at 600 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, providing substantial cutting power while meeting current environmental regulations. Propulsion is delivered through a four-track undercarriage, which distributes the machine's weight evenly and provides excellent stability and traction across variable pavement surfaces.

The cutting system is built around a 6-foot 7-inch (79-inch) Kennametal single-hit drum with 5/8-inch tool spacing, accompanied by a cutter housing. Kennametal is a recognised tooling brand in the milling industry, and the single-hit drum configuration at this spacing is suited to high-production pavement removal. The 79-inch cutting width makes this a substantial, high-output machine appropriate for large-scale road rehabilitation projects.

Grade and slope control is handled by Roadtec's ACE (Automatic Control of Elevation) system with AutoCut functionality, which automates depth and cross-slope management during operation to maintain consistent cut accuracy. The machine comes pre-wired for an ACE averaging ski, allowing the addition of long-baseline averaging sensors for projects requiring particularly precise grade referencing. Guardian Remote Telematics is fitted, enabling remote monitoring of machine location, operating hours, and performance data.

Operator visibility and productivity during low-light conditions are supported by a 24-volt LED night light package, allowing the machine to work effectively during evening or overnight paving operations. The combination of high-power output, wide drum width, automated grade control, and telematics capability positions this unit as a well-specified machine for demanding highway and airport milling contracts.
