How Falcon Hot Boxes Help Contractors Make & Save Money

For contractors, every project is a chance to grow your business. Falcon Asphalt Repair Equipment helps you do more than just fill potholes—it opens the door to additional revenue streams. By adding hot mix asphalt repair to your service offerings, you can keep crews working year-round, expand your capabilities, and say “yes” to more jobs. With Falcon’s reliable, easy-to-use equipment, you’re not just fixing pavement, you’re building new opportunities for your business.

Because Falcon equipment is engineered to maximize uptime and minimize maintenance, you can take on more projects with confidence, deliver superior results, and enhance your reputation, all while driving additional revenue to your bottom line.

Which Contractors Should Have a Hot Box? 

Falcon Hot Boxes are designed to help you achieve incremental revenue opportunities. Many types of contractors can benefit by adding an asphalt hot box to their fleet.

Paving Contractors

Not every job requires large paving equipment to complete quality patchwork. Yet, without a hot box, many contractors are forced to send out costly machinery for small repairs—or turn the work down altogether. A Falcon Hot Box changes that by giving you the flexibility to take on these smaller jobs, adding new service options for your customers and new revenue opportunities for your business.

Another advantage that paving contractors appreciate is the ability to reuse leftover hot mix asphalt. On many paving jobs, excess material is often wasted or returned to the plant. However, if you own a Falcon Hot Box, that material can be repurposed – simply stockpile the leftover mix, break it into chunks, and reheat it in your hot box. This process eliminates waste and turns unused asphalt into profit.

Sealcoating Contractors

Before completing a sealcoating project, most contractors need to repair potholes and surface damage. A durable, long-lasting patch is essential—not only to ensure the sealcoat performs properly, but also to protect your reputation for quality work.

A Falcon Hot Box will also create revenue opportunities between sealcoating cycles. Since most lots are typically seal-coated every three to five years, there’s a long window of time in which pavement may require repairs. By offering hot mix patching in between sealcoat applications, you can generate additional revenue while strengthening your customer relationships.

Utility Contractors

Utility work often requires cutting into or disturbing the pavement, and every cut must be repaired. Many companies rely on temporary patches and then return later to make permanent repairs, while others outsource the work entirely. Both approaches are time-consuming and costly.

A Falcon Hot Box provides a simple, cost-effective solution by bringing hot mix asphalt directly to the job site. With the ability to keep material at optimal temperature all day—and even overnight—you can complete permanent repairs much timelier. That means fewer return trips and faster project completion, resulting in quicker payment/improved cash flow.

Property Maintenance Companies

Property maintenance covers a wide range of services, and when that work includes parking lots or other paved surfaces, a hot box is a smart investment. With the ability to make long-lasting asphalt repairs, you can address pavement issues the first time and avoid repeated trips to the same site.

If your company doesn’t currently offer asphalt repair, a Falcon Hot Box makes it easy to expand your services. By adding pavement repair to your capabilities, you create new revenue opportunities while delivering more value to your clients.

Purpose-Built Equipment to Fit Your Operation

All Falcon hot boxes are purpose-built in Northern Michigan with the end user in mind. Here is why Falcon is clearly your best choice: 

Easy-to-Use Unloading Door 

Falcon’s large unloading door is safe, easy to use, and efficient for contractors. The entire box is designed to force material to the rear door, which at 33 inches wide, is by far the largest in the industry. This allows you to make quick work of large pavement repairs and utility cuts commonly faced by contractors. 

Flexibility With Equipment Options 

At Falcon, we build our trailer frames with pre-drilled tabs to accept bolt-on optional equipment at the point of purchase or as aftermarket additions. Bolt-on options such as a tack tank, compactor basket, or hoist can easily be added to any Falcon trailer. 

Waste-Reducing Capabilities 

Falcon Hot Boxes provide you with the ability to make use of material that may have previously been wasted. All of our hot boxes are capable of reclaiming virgin uncompressed material. This can help you both save and make money. 

Heated Floor & All Walls

Falcon Hot Boxes push heat from our diesel-powered Beckett burner through our patented combustion chamber and into the burner box, which is the floor of our hopper. From there, the heat travels through all four walls of the Falcon Hot Box. Our insulated triple-wall construction holds the heat inside the box, where it belongs.

Equipment That Pays You Back

Keeping your asphalt at optimum temperature and having the material where you need it, when you need it, provides jobsite efficiency. The ROI of adding a Falcon Hot Box to your equipment fleet will pay large dividends year after year.

Falcon Machines Are Built To Last

We understand that you should have faith that the equipment you purchase will do the job and be built to last. That is why Falcon stands behind our equipment with the longest warranties in the industry:

• Lifetime Frame Warranty: The frame of the hot box is covered for its entire lifespan. 
• 2-Year Machine Warranty: The machinery components of the hot box are covered for a period of two years.
