Superior Manufacturing – Falcon prides itself in providing long-lasting machines that are built with the best possible components . This is why in 2018 Falcon broke ground on a new state-of-the-art 54,000-square-foot manufacturing facility . This allows all its equipment to be properly built and undergo multiple inspections all under one roof in Freeland , Michigan . As a result of its commitment to high quality , Falcon stands behind its equipment with the industry ’ s longest warranties . It offers a 2-year machine warranty on all machines and a lifetime frame warranty on all trailer-mounted hot boxes .
Optional Equipment - One of the major drawbacks of utilizing a standard dump truck for asphalt repair is the inability to make permanent patches because you cannot bring all the necessary equipment . Falcon hot boxes can be equipped with both our tack package and our compaction package that allow you to make permanent patches every time . Falcon also builds all its trailer frames with predrilled tabs , so many bolt-on options can be purchased and added to the machine even years after the machine was built .
What types of contractors can take advantage of Falcon Hot Box ?
Falcon understands that most contractors do not view pothole repair as the focus of their company . However , hot boxes can provide a great piece of complementary equipment for many contractor types to provide additional streams of revenue .
Utility Contractors – Once a utility cut is made to pavement , contractors are then faced with the problem of how to patch the area correctly . Contractors often use quick fixes like gravel , metal plates or cold patch asphalt for road repair of the utility cut to get the road reopened quickly and come back to make more permanent repairs later . With Falcon ’ s trailer-mounted asphalt hot boxes , contractors can access hot mix asphalt at the job site . These hot boxes can be easily towed , which means an uninterrupted workflow and an immediate start to the repair processes once underground work is done - finishing the job right away and getting you paid faster .
Sealcoat Contractors – Before being able to sealcoat a paved surface , contractors generally have to or suggest to fill any potholes to flatten the surface . If these potholes are not filled properly , then cracks in the pavement will re-form quickly . A Falcon hot box can provide hot mix asphalt year-round to your job sites , allowing for proper patching of potholes . This can be an advantage to the sealcoating side of your business by not allowing poor quality patches to ruin your sealcoating work .
Paving Contractors – While not the main focus of your business , a hot box can provide additional streams of revenue for your company . There are many occasions when a hot box can be used quickly and efficiently to make smaller repairs versus taking a paver to the jobsite .
