Overview – Falcon’s Asphalt Recycler & Hot Box
> Dump Box
Spec Sheets
We build each dump box on a tandem axle trailer frame that cradles a lowered hopper using body guides to keep it centered. This helps to ensure stability when raising the hopper.
We construct our dump box trailers with two hydraulic cylinders that raise the hopper and prevent twisting from an uneven load. This design allows each cylinder to act as a safety backup for the other.
The dump box is available in 2, 3, 4, or 6 tons.
Like all Falcon models, a full line of options is available at purchase or aftermarket.
Benefits of a Falcon Asphalt Hot Box
Falcon Hot Boxes can keep hot mix asphalt for up to 72 hours and quickly warm cold patch mix to a nice workable temperature. When built with two burners, our system can recycle asphalt chunks, millings, and virgin uncompressed asphalt. This makes the Falcon Hot Box both an asphalt reclaimer and an asphalt recycling machine.
The burners run on standard diesel fuel, which you can fill up at any gas station. This makes it more efficient than propane-fired models and much easier to get fuel—no more driving to the few propane shops around town. The patented combustion chamber allows the hot box to burn less than three gallons of fuel per eight-hour shift.
A Falcon trailer-mounted hotbox reclaimer has a much lower shoveling height than a dump truck. The lowered height lessens the physical burden of the workers and allows them to be far more efficient as they unload the asphalt.
How Do Falcon Asphalt Recycling Machines Work?
The patented technology in our asphalt hotbox uses radiant, indirect heat to break down leftover asphalt millings and chunks. As long as you have a two burner system, follow these three easy steps to recycle asphalt:
- Coat the hardened asphalt with a rejuvenator.
- Load the hopper.
- Heat it at the lowest possible temperature overnight.
The key to returning old asphalt to its original state is to protect the original oils contained within. Other recyclers will shoot an open flame onto hardened asphalt patching. This method burns off the original oils, releases black oily smoke, and creates hardened and unusable asphalt.
The cross ducts and upper burner distribute heat throughout the center of the hopper, while the high-density insulation allows for the retention of hopper heat required to break down asphalt. The combustion chamber shape and construction of a Falcon Hot Box yields around 92% fuel efficiency, making recycling very affordable.

Falcon Asphalt Hot Boxes
A Falcon Hot Box will provide you and your work crew with unparalleled versatility. You can pick your Hot Box up from the asphalt plant in the morning and keep the mix hot for the duration of the work shift as well as overnight for up to 48 hours.
You can also transport cold mix and keep it warm during the colder winter months, making it easier to work with. You’ll also be able to reclaim unused hot mix and recycled asphalt millings and chunks. Contact us below to learn more about how a Falcon Hot Box will add value to your asphalt patching operation.
