Claims18
A device for repairing a verge of a road, which device comprises:
- a base frame for attaching the device to a mobile tool, such as a crane;
- a subframe arranged on the base frame;
- a flexible sleeve which is arranged on the subframe and revolves so as to be movable with respect to the base frame, wherein the subframe is arranged on the base frame in a rotating manner;
- and
- a drive for actively driving the subframe and the sleeve arranged thereto to displace parts of the verge in such a way that the verge is evened out;
- wherein the device is configured to be positioned with respect to a surface of the road in such a manner that the plane of movement of the sleeve is substantially parallel to the road surface.
