We’ve combined over two decades of research, engineering, and field experience into one groundbreaking piece of equipment: Maximus. Purpose-built for high friction surfacing, coloured surfacing, and microsurfacing, Maximus delivers a new standard in speed, safety, and precision.
From reducing workforce exposure on live roads to completing in hours what used to take days, Maximus is changing how road surfacing gets done in Australia.
Rapid Application with Minimal Disruption
Enhanced Surface Longevity
Improved Ride Quality and Aesthetic Finish
Versatile and Cost-Effective Maintenance Solution
We believe innovation should have a purpose, and that purpose is safety, efficiency, and better outcomes for everyone who uses our roads. That’s why we’ve reimagined how surfacing treatments are delivered, especially in high-risk and high-traffic environments.
After more than 26 years at the forefront of road maintenance, we’re proud to introduce a major leap forward with our Maximus.
It is a fully automated, high-tech surfacing unit designed to reduce on-site risks, speed up project delivery, and deliver consistent, high-quality results at scale. Whether you’re a council managing urban roads or a contractor working on critical infrastructure, Maximus is built to give you the edge.
Explore what makes Maximus a game-changer for the road surfacing industry and how it can deliver better results for your next project.
We’ve never been content with doing things the way they’ve always been done. That mindset led us to create Maximus, a one-of-a-kind, fully automated road surfacing truck that’s the first of its kind in Australia.
Maximus represents the future of road maintenance, bringing automation, safety and precision together into one state-of-the-art vehicle. Designed specifically for the installation of:
Maximus is purpose-built to meet the growing need for faster, safer and more cost-effective road surfacing solutions, especially in high-traffic or high-risk environments. Traditional surfacing methods are labour-intensive and slow, increasing the risk for both workers and road users. Maximus changes that.
This equipment doesn’t just automate the process, it optimises it. It integrates intelligent control systems, safety technology, and real-time data capture to ensure every installation is carried out with precision and efficiency. The result is fewer people on the road, faster application rates, less disruption to traffic, and a significantly safer working environment.
Maximus is designed to handle a range of high-performance applications. This technology delivers consistent results across diverse project types and road environments.
Whether you’re resurfacing a busy intersection, upgrading high-risk zones, or applying safety-coloured markings, Maximus is equipped to get the job done efficiently, accurately, and with minimal impact on surrounding traffic.
Maximus is purpose-built for:
Using calcined bauxite, Maximus applies durable, skid-resistant surfaces ideal for crash-prone zones, tight bends, high braking areas, and government-identified black spot locations. These high-risk areas require precise, high-performance treatments that meet strict safety and anti-skid standards, and Maximus delivers exactly that, quickly and reliably.
For bus lanes, cycleways, pedestrian crossings and other demarcated zones, Maximus ensures colour consistency, edge precision, and long-term durability.
A quick and efficient method to extend pavement life, microsurfacing with Maximus provides improved ride quality, waterproofing, and surface rejuvenation. While road closures are still required during installation, they are significantly shorter compared to traditional methods, reducing disruption and allowing faster reopening to traffic.
Microsurfacing is a modern road maintenance technique designed to extend pavement life, restore surface texture, and improve ride quality. Traditionally, this treatment is applied cold using a blend of bitumen emulsion, mineral aggregate, water and additives, ideal for roads that show early signs of wear but don’t yet require full reconstruction.
With Maximus, GRMS takes microsurfacing to a new level. Unlike conventional bitumen emulsion and slurry-based systems, Maximus uses advanced resin-based technologies that provide superior durability and adhesion. This innovation enables us to offer warranties on installations, a benefit that is not available with traditional emulsion-based treatments, giving asset owners greater long-term assurance and return on investment.
While traffic control and lane closures are still required during application, Maximus delivers the treatment with unmatched consistency, speed, and precision. Our automated truck ensures uniform coverage, clean edges, and a premium finish, reducing the need for rework and minimising future maintenance costs.
Whether you’re preserving an ageing arterial road, refreshing a bus lane, or extending the life of urban pavements, microsurfacing with Maximus offers a smarter, safer, and more reliable solution for large-scale pavement preservation.
Maximus is the result of decades of dedication to improving safety, performance, and outcomes across the road surfacing industry.
But Maximus isn’t where the journey ends. It is where the next chapter begins.
As technology evolves, so will we, continuously upgrading our systems, refining our processes, and exploring new ways to deliver value to our clients and communities. Every kilometre we treat, every innovation we introduce, and every safety measure we implement is part of our ongoing commitment to:
With Maximus, we’re setting a new standard for how road work gets done, safely, efficiently, and intelligently.
Whether you’re managing a council asset upgrade, civil resurfacing project, or critical safety zone treatment, Maximus is ready to deliver.
When you engage GRMS, you’re not just getting cutting-edge equipment. You’re gaining a team committed to excellence, safety, and innovation. From the first consultation to final QA reporting, we work with you to ensure your project is delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest possible standard.
Let’s bring Maximus to your next job and show you what’s possible when technology and experience work together.

Maximus is a fully automated truck built for applying high friction surfacing (calcined bauxite), coloured surfacing, and microsurfacing. It is engineered to improve safety, speed, and accuracy in road surfacing applications.
Maximus can apply between 3000m² and 5000m² per hour, depending on the material and site conditions. This is significantly faster than traditional manual methods, which typically cover around 1500m² per day.
Maximus requires just four trained operators, compared to the seven or more typically needed for manual installation, reducing labour requirements and increasing safety.
Maximus includes multiple advanced safety systems, such as:
Maximus is ideal for:
Yes, Maximus transmits live performance data back to GRMS’s head office via satellite and stores QA records for every job. This gives clients real-time visibility and complete quality assurance documentation.
Yes, we can deploy Maximus on projects nationwide. To discuss availability and scheduling, please contact our team.
