SPHD-3.0

8-12 weeks. Contact us for current availability.

Overview

3-ton dump-style pothole patcher. Same oil-jacketed heating as the SPHD-4.0 in a mid-size package for crews that need dump-and-patch capability without full-size capacity.

Key Features

3-ton capacity

Oil-jacketed heating system

Dump-style discharge

Auto temperature controls

Holds working temp for 48 hours

Compact footprint for tight work zones

Who This Is For

Mid-size municipalities and road departments that need dump-and-patch capability but don't require the full 4-ton capacity. The compact footprint also works better in tight work zones where a larger unit is harder to maneuver.

Ideal Applications

Pothole repair on residential and collector streets

Utility cut restoration in tight urban work zones

Supplemental patching on busy arterial routes

County road maintenance with moderate daily volumes

What Sets It Apart

Same oil-jacketed heating and dump-style discharge as the SPHD-4.0 in a mid-size package. At 3 tons, you carry enough material for a full day of typical municipal patching without the bulk of the 4-ton unit. The compact footprint works better in tight work zones and on narrower streets.

Common Upgrade Path

Departments using undersized hot boxes that run out of material mid-route, or crews that have been shoveling from dump trucks and want to upgrade to dump-and-patch workflow.

When to Consider a Different Model

If your daily volume consistently exceeds 3 tons, stepping up to the SPHD-4.0 saves you a trip back to the plant. If you want a tow-behind option, the provides that configuration.
