The Hot Mix Trailer

Benefits of using our Hot-Mix insulation option for asphalting:

In a test conducted in early March, 2002 we compared our bottom dump with the Hot-Mix insulation option versus 3 bottom dumps from a competitor without the insulation. Results clearly indicate the benefits of using our Hot-Mix insulation:
  • All trailers were loaded at the asphalt plant and driven 35 miles in 52o weather.
  • The competitive brand's outside skin measured 165o, hot enough to burn your hands.
  • Construction Trailer Specialists' outside skin measured a safe 80o.
  • After the 35-mile run, the competitive brand's temperature, measured from the front of the hopper to the center, lost 60-65o of heat. The asphalt was too cool to pour properly and was clumping.
  • Construction Trailer Specialists' bottom dump lost only 8o and poured evenly and consistently.
