The Innovative ‘Tarmaster’ Hotbox

Tarmaster, the new Hotbox body will suit both 4×2 and 6×2/4 truck chassis and promises to deliver significantly improved performance in road repair and resurfacing applications. Tarmaster incorporates a number of innovative features that will deliver notably higher standards of productivity and safety over traditional Hotbox products.

Tarmaster has smooth one-piece side panels which are angled inwards at the floor to assist clean and easy discharge of the hot tarmac. Inside, the body is split into two full length compartments in 60% / 40% proportions, thereby enabling two different tarmac specifications to be carried. An ‘easy – flow’ floor surface finish assists in minimal residue being left in the body when tipping. For shovel work, two tar chutes are provided in the rear body panel for the larger compartment, and one for the smaller.

On top of the body, a pair of full-length in-line roof panels keep the payload protected against heat loss. Opening and closing of the panels – actuated by hydraulic cylinders – can be done either from a dashboard rocker switch inside the cab or by switches located on a nearside exterior control panel.
