EZ-Patcher-card

Trusted by DOTs and road authorities worldwide

The Crafco EZ Patcher allows for faster, safer mastic repairs on long linear cracks and cuts, reducing labor and keeping crew away from traffic.

With the EZ Patcher, one operator can patch pavement from the safety of a skid steer cab. 

  • Color camera and monitor system give operator a view of the work area 
  • Operator controls the agitator mode and dispensing gate from inside the cab 
  • Weighted “floating” drag box automatically conforms to the pavement surface

Product Features

Capacity

The EZ Patcher can hold up to 65 gallons of mastic, which is kept warm with a 76,000 BTU propane burner. While it’s most efficient to feed the EZ Patcher from our larger Patcher II or Patcher 4 melters, the EZ Patcher can also melt small quantities of material itself.

Agitator Modes

Using the skid steer’s built-in hydraulic system, the EZ Patcher’s bidirectional hydraulic agitator can be switched between the mix-melt mode and dispensing mode. In mix-melt mode, the agitator automatically reverses to keep material at a uniform temperature and consistency. In dispensing mode, the agitator pushes material toward the remote-controlled gate and into the drag box. The operator controls the agitator mode and material gate from inside the cab.

Easy to Use & Move

With attachment points on both sides, the EZ Patcher can be used with the drag box to the operator’s left or right. There are also fork truck tubes built into the bottom of the EZ Patcher for moving the machine easily when it’s not attached to a skid steer.

Smart Design

We’ve thought of everything. The in-cab control system comes with a waterproof storage case and has magnetic attachment points keep wires away from snags and pinch points. The dispensing gate can close by pulling the manual release pin in case of hydraulic failure. The top of the EZ Patcher is built from anti-slip diamond tread steel plate for traction.

With an experienced skid steer operator, the EZ Patcher enables crews to apply significantly more material in a day compared to hand application. It is best suited to patching or sealing long, linear cracks such as longitudinal joints, transverse cracks, and fiber optic trenches.
