Looked at expensive units but decided all we needed was a simple heater box to keep our asphalt hot throughout the day. This box works perfect for patching.Price Value Quality - AK8000 Review by JOHN PINGELSKI

Before the AK-8000 we used a dump truck to haul our patching asphalt around. The problem was, if we didn't have it all down by noon, it was no good. That's when we decided to start looking around for a good hot box. With the price of blacktop these days you just can't afford to waste it. We didn't want anything with a bunch of bells and whistles, we just needed something to keep asphalt hot all day, and that is exactly what the AK-8000 does. Since we've bought the Asphalt Kingdom unit we haven't wasted a drop. We needed a hot box that we could take on and off of our trucks without falling apart on us. That's something we were very concerned about. After our first inspection of the AK-8000 we could see that it was built well and would hold up under some very demanding conditions.Price Value Quality
