Python 5000+ Pothole Patcher The Python 5000+ has the same great patching abilities as our tried and true Python 5000. The Python 5000+, however, features a Tier 4, Cummins engine to meet current environmental standards. It can repair potholes in nearly all weather conditions, at a fraction of the time and a fraction of the cost of other methods. It keeps road workers safe and protects vehicles and drivers from damage and injury caused by poorly maintained roads. The Python 5000+ makes long-lasting repairs using standard asphalt mixes – either hot or cold, and has the unique ability to make continuous repairs to long cracks and joins in the road. One person can keep your roads in good repair all year round. Don’t wait for spring and perfect weather. Repair those potholes before they grow! The working arm extends out 4’ and 6’ from side to side. When you keep your streets in good repair, you can postpone resurfacing the road for years. The Python 5000 compacts the patch with 62 lbs/linear inch pressure to make a long-lasting repair. Don’t wait for the asphalt plants to open to tend to those dangerous potholes. With the Python, cold mix can be used just as effectively. Drive quickly to the job site where you can repair those emerging potholes before they get to be a big problem. All operations are controlled from inside the cab with a joystick. Fill up with asphalt at your nearest asphalt plant, or load the hopper with cold mix, using a front-end loader. The Python 5000 will keep the asphalt at the ideal temperature by circulating exhaust around the double-walled hopper. Make a finished, completed repair to the average pothole in less than two minutes. The Python 5000 is maneuverable and able to take on narrow city streets. The operator quickly learns how much asphalt is required to repair each pothole. The operator has a clear view of the working area The operator has easy access to the hopper via a retractable ladder Safely repair your high-traffic streets and roads without closing them. The repair produced by a Python 5000 will often out-last the surrounding road. The large arrow board clearly alerts traffic to the presence of the Python 5000. Overview: Fast patching -- the average hole can be patched in just two minutes Quality patches -- hydraulic pressure controlled roller provides quality compaction and a permanent patch that will outlast the surrounding surface Repairs utility cuts and long cracks in one continuous operation - channeling the asphalt into the crack and compacting it on-the-go Works in sub-zero temperatures or pouring rain Travels at highway speeds to and from job site All functions controlled from inside the cab by a single joystick Working arm extends to 4 feet from under the cab, with 6 feet of side-to-side motion Exact amount of asphalt is delivered to the exact location Dispenses all standard hot or cold asphalt mixes Keeps hot asphalt hot, and warms cold mix asphalt to the ideal temperature Operator stays in the cab for a safer and more comfortable working environment Clear visibility for operator See our current brochure Specifications: DIMENSIONS GVWR - 27,500 lbs.
