Restore ground that’s hard to get to

Restoration sites are often steep, remote or easy to damage. Bringing equipment close to the work can be difficult, and moving material by hand can be slow.

A slinger can work from the top of a slope or another suitable position and place material down the grade. The operator controls it by radio remote while automatic leveling keeps the machine stable.

Land restoration questions

Can a slinger work on a steep slope?

It has automatic leveling for slopes and uneven ground, but every site is different. Tell us about the grade and access when you request a quote.

Can it reach down a slope from the top?

Yes. It can place material up to 140 feet from the machine, so it can work from stable ground above.

Can it spread topsoil and mulch for erosion control?

Yes. It places soil, mulch and stone. Follow your erosion control plan for the material and depth.

Can it place riprap?

Only if the stone is 3" minus. Larger riprap is beyond what a slinger can place.

Can it work around trees and plants?

Yes. You direct the material from the remote, so you can place it between trees and plants without driving over them.

Can it get onto rough or soft ground?

All-wheel drive and flotation tires help on rough and soft ground, but conditions vary. Tell us about your site when you request a quote.

Job example

Blue Ridge Parkway

Our slingers spent two to three months on the Blue Ridge Parkway, working across several locations along the route to help put the parkway back together. We were on the job until the work was done.
