Keep material moving along the trench
A long trench means constant trips. Every load has to be picked up, carried along the run and spread, while the crew and equipment work around the open excavation.
A slinger reduces those steps. Set it up beside the trench, feed the hopper and direct material into the run from the radio remote. When you’ve covered that section, drive the machine along to the next one.
Why use a slinger to fill trenches?
Work from alongside
Place material from beside the trench, including along road edges and barrier walls.
Cover more from one spot
With 270° of conveyor rotation and up to 140 feet of reach, you can fill more before moving.
Move along easily
All-wheel drive and flotation tires let the machine travel on the road and over soft ground.
See the fill as it lands
Stand where you have the clearest view of the trench and control placement by remote.
Reduce double handling
Material goes straight from the slinger into the trench, with no piles to move again.
Keep feeding the conveyor
Top up the 10 yd³ hopper from the rear with a small skid steer, or from the side with a large loader.

Trench filling questions
What can I fill a trench with?
Any 3" minus material, including crushed stone, gravel, sand and fill. Your project specifications decide which material to use.
Can it work next to live traffic?
Follow your traffic control plan and site safety rules. Tell us about the site when you request a quote.
Can it fill a narrow trench beside a barrier wall?
Yes. Set it up alongside the trench and direct material into the run from the radio remote, without working inside the excavation.
How much trench can I fill before moving?
With 270° of conveyor rotation and up to 140 feet of reach, you can cover a stretch of trench from one spot before driving on.
How do I move it along the trench?
Drive it to the next section. All-wheel drive and flotation tires let it travel on the road and over soft ground.
How do I keep it fed on a long run?
Bring your loader along with it. Load from the rear with a small skid steer, or from the side with a large loader.
Job example
Trench fill along a highway barrier wall
Our slinger spent 28 eight-hour days filling a trench beside a highway barrier wall, keeping material moving from one end of the run to the other. Even at 2 cubic yards a minute, the low end of what a slinger places, that’s capacity for about 27,000 cubic yards over the job.
