Used Asphalt Hotbox

Inspect insulation condition, heating system type and operation, drum or hopper integrity, lid and seal condition, and controls. Verify capacity matches your patching volume and check mounting points if you plan to put it on a truck or trailer.

Transport on a flatbed or truck with proper tie-downs and wheel chocks. Ensure fuel or propane sources are secured and drained per regulations. Check weight, clearance, and local permits for oversized loads when moving between sites.

Regularly clean the interior to remove oxidized asphalt, inspect and service burners/heaters, check seals and insulation, lubricate hinges and moving parts, and test thermostats and safety shutoffs before each season.
