COVER STORY | ADVERTORIAL
“ With an experienced skid steer operator , the EZ Patcher enables crews to put down significantly more material in a day – safely and easily .”
The EZ Patcher ’ s 76,000 BTU propane burner keeps material at application temperature , while the hydraulic agitation system features eight angled and staggered paddles to keep material properly mixed . In mix-melt mode , the agitator automatically reverses to maintain material at a uniform temperature and consistency . In dispensing mode , the agitator pushes material toward the hydraulic dispensing gate and into the hopper . Both the agitator mode and the dispensing gate are remotely controlled by the skid steer operator with simple in-cab controls for maximum efficiency . The EZ Patcher also has a color camera and monitor system providing the operator with a clear view of the work area for precise application without a spotter . While it ’ s most efficient to fill the EZ Patcher from a larger mastic melter like Crafco ’ s Patcher II or Patcher 4 , the new machine can also melt material as a standalone unit for low-volume applications . The EZ Patcher also has attachment points on both sides , so the operator can use the machine with the drag box on their left or right side . With an experienced skid steer operator , the EZ Patcher enables crews to put down significantly more material in a day – safely and easily . Crafco field tested the EZ Patcher with real road crews on job sites around the U . S . to find and fix the kinds of problems that only show up through real-world use . Small touches like a fill light for the drag box camera and fork lift tubes for easy transport show that the EZ Patcher was designed with the end user in mind .
