Municipal road departments and county highway crews that patch potholes daily and need to dump hot mix directly into the hole without shoveling.

Daily pothole repair on municipal road systems
Utility cut restoration and trench patching
Winter emergency pothole response
County highway maintenance on rural road networks
Large-volume patching programs with dedicated crews
The oil-jacketed heating system keeps 4 tons of asphalt at working temperature for up to 48 hours with no burning and no cold spots, problems that direct-flame hot boxes create constantly. Dump-style discharge means your operator positions the truck and dumps material directly into the pothole. No shoveling, no wasted material, no back injuries. Auto temperature controls maintain the right temperature without operator babysitting.
Departments currently shoveling cold or degraded asphalt out of open dump trucks, crews using direct-flame hot boxes that burn the material on the bottom, or operations buying bagged cold patch as a temporary fix.
If your patching volume is light, a few holes per week, the SPHD-3.0 delivers the same heating and dump capability at a lower cost. If you don't need dump capability and already have a way to place material, the SPH-4 Hot Box keeps material hot for less.
