Long distance material placement
Rent an all-terrain material slinger and place stone, soil or fill up to 140 feet from the machine, when you can’t drive equipment to the spot.

Reach the areas your equipment can’t
Some places can’t take a loader or truck. Water, soft ground, steep grades or finished work can turn a short distance into a long, expensive haul.
A slinger lets you keep the machine on workable ground and send the material across the gap. Stand back with the radio remote, and place material up to 140 feet away.
Why use a slinger for long distance placement?
Up to 140 feet of reach
Place material without bringing the machine to the landing spot.
Stay on workable ground
Set up where the machine can stand and throw across areas you need to protect or avoid.
Fewer machines and trips
Move and place material with one machine rather than repeated hauling.
Keep it feeding
Load the 10 yd³ hopper from the rear with a small skid steer, or from the side with a large loader.
Swing to cover more
With 270° of conveyor rotation, you can cover more area from one position.
Get into rough sites
All-wheel drive and flotation tires help the machine reach the setup point.
When distance is the problem
Across water and wetlands
Throw from the bank or a firm working area.
Over walls and structures
Place material behind obstacles without driving around them.
Across soft or finished ground
Avoid running equipment over areas you need to protect.
Remote parts of a site
Reach areas that are hard to access by truck or loader.
Long distance placement questions
How far can a slinger throw material?
Up to 140 feet. The right setup depends on your site and material, so tell us the distance when you request a quote.
Can it place material across water or wetlands?
Yes. It can work from firm ground and throw material into areas other equipment can’t drive into.
Can it reach over a wall or other obstacle?
Yes. It throws material over obstacles to areas up to 140 feet from the machine.
Does the material affect how far it goes?
Yes. The size and weight of the material change how it travels. Tell us what you’re placing and we’ll help you plan the setup.
Where should the operator stand?
Wherever they have the clearest view of where the material lands. The radio remote lets them watch and control it from there.
Do I need a loader as well?
Yes, to fill the hopper: a small skid steer from the rear, or a large loader from the side.
Job example
Placing material across a wetland
With the slinger parked on firm ground at the edge, the operator used the radio remote to throw material out over the water and vegetation to where it was needed. The slinger’s reach did the work, so there was no need to get equipment into the wetland or build access out across it.
