2026 STEPP MANUFACTURING SPHD 3.0 (4 Ton) Dump Style Pothole Patcher
Pothole patching success hinges on heat retention between load and placement. A machine that cools material in transit wastes crew time on reheating, while one that loses hydraulic pressure mid-discharge leaves patches incomplete. The patcher's thermal design determines whether a crew finishes a route or falls behind.
Heat-jacketed hopper maintains asphalt temperature and consistency throughout the workday
4-ton capacity covers most routes without a second load
Dump-style discharge speeds placement and reduces operator fatigue
Compact design fits narrow streets and confined job sites
Auto temperature controls remove guesswork and prevent material degradation
The SPHD 3.0 pairs a 4-ton (3.0 cubic yard) hopper with an oil-jacketed heating system and auto temperature controls, ensuring material stays workable from yard to pothole. With just 2 miles on the odometer and new condition, this 2026 unit delivers full performance from day one. The compact footprint lets operators access tight work zones and alleyways without repositioning multiple times per shift.
