Amtech Heavy-Duty Asphalt & Tarmac Rake 16 Flat Tines A2590

Amtech Asphalt Steel Rake 16 Flat Tines

MPN: A2590 | Barcode: 5032759052387

This asphalt and tarmac rake is designed for spreading, levelling and controlling aggregate materials during surface preparation and repair work. It is suitable for driveway repairs, pothole filling and general groundwork where a consistent material finish is required before compaction.

The flat tine design allows even distribution of asphalt and loose aggregate, helping achieve a level surface across small and large repair areas. This makes it suitable for trade users, maintenance teams and general construction work where heavier surface materials need controlled handling.

The forged steel head and tubular steel handle provide durability and control when working with dense materials such as asphalt and aggregate.

What This Product Is Used For

This rake is used during the levelling stage of tarmac and aggregate installation. It is typically used after material placement and before compaction to help create an even surface finish.

• Spreading asphalt and tarmac evenly.
• Levelling pothole repair materials.
• Preparing driveways and paths before compaction.
• Distributing aggregate in groundwork applications.

Key Performance Benefits

• Designed for Tarmac and Asphalt: Suitable for handling heavier surfacing and repair materials.
• Controlled Material Distribution: Helps spread aggregate evenly across the working area.
• Built for Groundwork: Suitable for repeated use in driveway, path and construction repair tasks.
• Efficient Levelling: Helps prepare material to the correct depth before compacting.

Why Choose This Rake

This rake is selected when working with dense materials such as asphalt, tarmac and aggregate, where standard garden or landscaping rakes are not suitable. The flat tine configuration provides better control when distributing heavier materials and helps reduce uneven build-up before compaction.

Compared to lighter-duty rakes, this model is better suited to construction, repair and groundwork use where strength, control and consistent levelling are required.

How It Fits Into The Job

This rake forms part of a practical tarmac repair workflow:

• Step 1: Apply pothole repair tarmac or suitable aggregate material.
• Step 2: Use the rake to spread and level the material evenly.
• Step 3: Compact the surface with a tamper to complete the repair.

Quick Use Guide

Use the rake while the material remains workable to achieve an even finish before compaction.

• Preparation: Ensure the working area is clean, stable and ready for material application.
• Spreading: Distribute asphalt or aggregate evenly using controlled strokes.
• Levelling: Work the material to the required depth before compacting.
• After Use: Clean the rake head promptly to prevent hardened material build-up.
