Description

The BIG A KM 4000TEDX Diesel fired Two Ton Hotbox is an affordable trailer that allows you to maintain hot asphalt or cold asphalt bulk patch material at a workable temperature for up to 72 hours. This reclaimer is diesel-fired and ideal for contractors or municipalities needing a smaller trailer without a dump feature, or if your budget allows, you can upgrade this hot box to be a fully dumping version, making it easy to pour out the asphalt mix.  Its compact design allows the user to haul smaller loads of up to 4000 LBS of hot mix asphalt (HMA) millings for both virgin or reclaimed un-compacted mix and maintain a workable temperature for easy storage.

Propane vs Diesel

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 pre-determined 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.

Standard & Upgrade Options

The BIG A KM4000TEDX Asphalt Reclaimer comes standard with a fixed bed and incorporates standard electric brakes.  If you prefer, you can upgrade to hydraulic brakes (only available for some states) or you can choose to swap out the static bed for a 52º max tilt dump bed model.  Mix and match between all of the models to create the ultimate hot box for your budget and needs.

Input & Output Openings

It features a single insulated loading door operated with a shock assisted opening handle making it easy to open and close. The single over-sized 16”X16” shovel door is on a sliding track making it easy and convenient to shovel out material. Asphalt is fed from a gravity feed slanted wall funnel design for easy discharge to shoveling door and making it easy to reach the material with a shovel.

Heating

The Big A 2 Ton Hot Box reclaimer has a fuel tank capacity of 28 gallons of diesel and features an electronic 105,000 BTU Beckett diesel fired burner and a state of the art digitally controlled control panel which is mounted inside a protected weather-proof box. Heating is thermostatically controlled with 100% safety shut down and the burner system utilizes an electronic pilot fuel ignition system for maximum safety and increased fuel efficiency.

Construction

This diesel fired hot box is built rugged just like our complete line of professional grade reclaimers, featuring triple welded seams and has 16 gauge steel for the trailers box skin and a 12 gauge inner box compartment.

Triple wall construction with 3” of insulation allows for excellent heat retention allowing you to keep the millings workable overnight.
