Frequently Asked Questions
A slinger (also known as a stone slinger or material placement truck) uses a high-speed conveyor system to place materials like stone, soil, and mulch with incredible accuracy— far faster than traditional methods.
Slingers significantly reduce manual labor and site congestion. They allow you to place material precisely in confined or hard-to-reach areas, saving time and reducing material waste.
Slingers are the go-to choice for:
● Trench and utility backfill
● Foundation and fuel tank sites
● Water detention systems and bioponds
● Large-scale landscaping and erosion control
Distance depends on the model and the material. Our on-road models typically reach up to 130 feet, while our off-road and towable units can reach up to 150 feet.
Our machines handle up to 3” rock, sand, soil, and forest by-products. Essentially, they can run any material that fits within the machine's dimensional feed requirements.
Capacity varies by model. Our truck-mounted lineup ranges from 18 to 40 cubic yards, and our off-road models range from 7 to 10 cubic yards.
Since site conditions vary, we recommend speaking with our experts. Call us at 888-279-4227 or email sales@slingers.com, and we will help you match a model to your specific needs.
