6-Ton Hot Box Trailer

Work crew using a Falcon 6-Ton Asphalt Hot Box

Falcon 6-Ton Asphalt Hot Boxes enable your work crews to quickly and efficiently fix potholes, patch asphalt, and repair utility cuts. The wide range of standard features will add immense value to your patching operation.

All 6-Ton Asphalt Hot Boxes have a two-burner system making it possible to recycle asphalt. This feature significantly reduces waste while saving time and money.

Benefits of a Falcon 6-Ton Asphalt Hot Box

Around a quarter or more of asphalt hot mix will cool before crews can use it to patch holes—this results in significant financial loss and waste as the costs of asphalt continue to increase. Falcon 6-ton Asphalt Hot Box helps keep 100% of the hot mix at ideal temperatures throughout the work day—and up to 72 hours overnight.

A standard dump truck has a raised bed, which forces workers to shovel material in an awkward position. This causes fatigue and injuries while slowing down work to a crawl. Falcon hot boxes are designed with ergonomics in mind. The beds are at an optimal shoveling height, allowing crews to work longer without getting tired.

  • Battery charger package
