Used Asphalt Distributors

Overview

Asphalt distributors are specialized trucks or trailers with heated tanks, pumps and spray bars used to apply liquid asphalt for tack coats, chip seals and surface treatments. They deliver controlled temperature and flow for uniform coverage across road surfaces. Common differences include tank capacity, heating method and spray control systems. Inspect heating, pumps, valves, agitation and frame condition before buying.

FAQ

What should I check when buying a used asphalt distributor?

Verify the heater type and condition (direct fire, oil-fired or diesel), tank integrity and insulation, pump performance, spray bar and nozzle wear, control systems, and service records.

How do I handle shipping and transport for an asphalt distributor?

Confirm dimensions, weight and securement points. Drain fluids if required, lock valves and spraybars, use a carrier experienced with heavy tanks, and obtain permits for oversized loads.

What are the key maintenance tasks for reliable operation?

Regularly service burners and heaters, inspect and replace pump seals and hoses, clean nozzles and strainers, check agitation systems, and winterize the tank if stored in cold climates.

Are spare parts and support easy to find?

Parts availability depends on make and age. Common components like pumps, nozzles and burners are widely available, but verify vendor support and compatibility before purchase.
