This is a Patch Truck. It is used to patch potholes. Hot asphalt is stored in the back and used to
fill the holes. Before this truck was acquired, potholes were repaired with a “cold mix” asphalt during the winter months.
These were temporary repairs until a hot mix patch could be installed.
Having this piece of equipment saves time and money since a permanent
hot patch can be made at any time, eliminating repeat repairs at the same location.
