About us
Patching potholes from the back of a truck, a loader bucket, or a homemade contraption is a crappy job. Cold, stiff material and poor shoveling ergonomics result in stiff backs and lousy patches.
PatchBox uses reliable truck exhaust to produce warm, pliable mix. Sliding our PatchCatch Tray into the receiver hitch makes for ergonomic shoveling.
Our simple, cost effective solution fits small organizations making their first investment in patching equipment, as well as larger organizations topping off the fleet for those days when it’s all hands on deck attacking potholes.
patchbox also works great with hot mix asphalt (HMA)!
We designed PatchBox for cold weather patching. But multiple, innovative customers report that it works great with hot mix.
PW Director Steve from the Village of Black Creek, WI purchased PatchBox with the intent of bringing subcontracted summer patching in-house. Steve reports that he is saving over $50/ton versus subcontract (includes labor and other in-house costs) with a plan to use 50-60 tons this summer.
Terry (Street Supt.) from the Village of Bartonville, IL says his team is “using the crap out of our PatchBox this summer.” Per Terry, “The guys absolutely love it!” citing the increased working time for HMA and improved shoveling ergonomics.
