The right edge for expantion joints

[Lawngodfather]

I submitted a bid on a parking garage.

What would be a better edge to use on it, it is asphalt on top, and has the expantion joints in it?

U Edge?

Rubber?

I think steel will tear it up.

Personally I would use a U edge, and make sure to pre treat.

you would probaly be best to go with a u-edge...

Urethane should do the trick for you. Rubber is an option, but will not last nearly as well, and most likely wont scrape quite as well either.

The u edge works great on expansion joints, at least the ones cut into concrete sidewalks, which the steel edge would catch. I do about 15 miles of sidewalk with a Trackless, I had some wear concerns with the U-edge I tried last year, the wear was about the same or a little less then the steel edge. This year I installed an edge from Superior, only have about 75 miles on it and it's just worn into the cutting edge angle, a little early to tell if it will wear longer. The Trackless blade is a full trip design, and the U-edge eliminated any tripping on the uneven joints, and a lot easier on the operator.
