The BIG A KM-4000 comes with an array of options to choose from so the price shown for this product may not reflect all of the whistles and bells, however, you are free to mix and match the options that make the most sense for your needs.

Use the BIG A KM-4000SXPX to hold up to 2 tons (4,000 lbs) of virgin hot asphalt mix from the plant, reclaiming bulk stored hot asphalt mix, cold patch, or for recycling and re-conditioning used asphalt shilling. You will find this unit is a very economical and versatile hot box setup.
If you are a smaller asphalt contractor or municipality and don’t have the need for a larger trailer mounted hotbox, then our 2-ton propane Truck Mounted Asphalt Hot Box may be what you’re looking for. This slide-in propane model is ideal for smaller asphalt repairs and is designed to slide in the bed of any 1 ton or larger pickup truck, and has all the great features that our larger models have too.
Using a slide-in Asphalt Hot Box is a convenient method of carrying HMA and keeping it at a workable temperature for up to two days. This feature saves you time and money by not needing to completely use up a load in one day or needing to make frequent trips to the asphalt plant. Many professional asphalt repair contractors add Asphalt Rejuvenator to the HMA and RAP which helps the asphalt mix stay pliable. We offer Asphalt Rejuvenator in a convenient five-gallon pail.
This Slide-In Asphalt Box features a single insulated lid with a single cantilever handle which makes it very easy to open from the ground, and a single shoveling port with inside walls tapered towards the shovel port. The 58,000 BTU burner is thermostatically controlled, and the controls are mounted in a weather-tight control box. Just like our Trailer Mounted Asphalt Reclaimers, this slide-in asphalt box is built tough using all-welded steel triple wall 16 gauge skin, 20 gauge top, and 14 gauge asphalt compartment with high-efficiency insulation making it very energy efficient.
Built to fit in pickup trucks, the base dimensions are 58" L x 47” W and it has a T shape to go over the sides of the pickup. Make sure you have a truck rating that can handle at least 5000lbs of capacity (material weight + unit weight). The KM-4000SXPX also comes with 4 bolt-down bolts on the skid (1 on each corner) and 4 attach points for binders on the corners (1 on each corner) to ensure the hotbox can't slide out of the truck during normal usage.
The BIGA-KM-4000SXPX comes with triple wall construction ranging from 14 gauge to 20 gauge steel that will not only stand up to years of abuse from hot asphalt, but also has 2" to 3" of high efficiency fiberglass insulation and an aluminum reflective wall around the shell that can maintain hot mix asphalt for a period of up to 72 hours.
The BIGA-KM-4000SXPX designed as a gravity fed unit with slanted walls and floor that allow easy discharge of asphalt patch by funneling the material towards the shoveling door. The shoveling door(s) are insulated vertical sliding on tracks located towards the lower center portion of the hot box rear.
The 2-Ton is a single 16"H x 16"W door.
The 4-Ton is a dual door with each having a size of: 16"H x 20"W
The BIGA-KM-4000SXPX is a 58,000 BTU propane fired model which allows you to carry additional propane bottles with you. 30lb bottles are recommended. (not included)
Heating is a piece of cake with a thermostat that can control from 100º F to 350º F, allowing a wide range of control to allow you to warm up cold patch on really cold days or maintain optimum temperatures of hot mix asphalt patch. It can also reclaim bulk stored virgin mix overnight.
The thermostat is housed within a weatherproof control box and the heating system has a full safety shut off in case of any problems.
Maintainer
A maintenance hot box is an insulated storage unit designed to keep fresh, hot-mix asphalt at its optimal working temperature throughout the day. It prevents the material from cooling into a cold set which would otherwise make it unworkable for patching and repair. This tool is best for crews who pick up a fresh load from the plant in the morning and need to maintain heat until the last job is finished.
Reclaimer
The reclaimer is a high-powered unit built to heat bulk-stored cold hot-mix chunked virgin asphalt from a solid state back to a workable liquid. It typically uses high-BTU burners to reclaim cold material overnight so that it is ready for use by the start of the next shift. This allows contractors to operate independently of asphalt plant hours, which is especially useful during the winter or in remote locations. Reclaimers are NOT designed for re-heating recycled millings.
Recycler
A recycler is the most advanced of the three, designed to process old, broken pavement or millings into usable asphalt. It applies high heat to break down the chunks and requires the addition of rejuvenators to replace the oxidized oils that have been lost over time. By turning waste material back into a functional product, it offers a sustainable and cost-effective solution for permanent road repairs.
What are the differences?
Aside from the normal obvious differences between our Propane models and Diesel models, we get this question a lot.
The biggest difference between the Propane and Diesel versions is the way the heating system works. Obviously, one is propane and the other is diesel, but how the fueling is controlled between the two, is where they differ.
Propane
The propane version has a static thermostat where you set the dial and walk away. It's easy to use and there's not much to think about, but that's pretty much as far as it goes. You can't setup custom time schedules or program the propane version.
Diesel
With the Diesel version, it has what we call a Smart Thermostat which has an actual programming logic controller and this lets the system control heating to be even more efficient, saving you money in fuel costs. The diesel version also has data logging, which let's you take a look at how well the system is heating to know if your hot box is working at peak efficiency. In addition, the smart thermostat will let you control heating requirements, allowing you to literally walk away and forget about it, or you can setup a time schedule and have the burner turn on or off at predetermined times. For example, set it to turn off over the weekend and automatically turn on for the week.
Conclusion
Better tools means a higher cost, so if you're looking at a budget system that's easier to use, the propane is probably the best bet. But if you want to know exactly where your money is going, and you want a system with the highest heating efficiency, diesel is the way to go.
