Buy new and second-hand Amtec asphalt boxes and asphalt thermal containers – a wide selection of asphalt processing equipment direct from specialist retailers. Under the Amtec brand, we offer insulated thermal containers for hot mix: the compact ATB 3 asphalt box for around 3 to 3.6 t, the 5 t TC asphalt box and the TWINBOX 4D 8/10 and 12/14 dual-chamber containers for 10 and 14 t – available new and second-hand, with payload, volume, dimensions and specifications listed in the advert. All units are listed in the ‘Asphalt Processing’ category. Supplied by GSK Baumaschinen in Hanhofen and Kraus Baumaschinen in Frankenthal; the stock changes regularly. This page features Amtec brand asphalt thermocontainers – not the companies of the same name specialising in measurement technology or hydraulic clamping systems.
Amtec at a glance
For us, Amtec represents a range of asphalt thermal containers marketed under the name ‘Asphaltbox’. According to the advertisements, they keep hot asphalt mix at working temperature for up to 12 hours – without a burner, solely thanks to their fully insulated design. This allows small quantities of asphalt to be transported from the mixing plant to the construction site and laid there throughout the day, for example for patching work, excavations during utility line construction, courtyard areas or junctions where a full lorry load is not cost-effective.
According to the advertisements, the larger TWINBOX models are fitted with thermal insulation compliant with BMVI specifications and accompanied by a factory certificate; they feature a stainless steel outer shell and two chambers in a 60/40 ratio, allowing two different types of mix to be transported separately. We do not have reliable information regarding the company behind the brand – its registered office, date of establishment or ownership; we therefore only provide data here that is substantiated by the equipment specifications. Questions regarding the manufacturer’s warranty and spare parts can be answered by the relevant dealer.

What the Amtec model designation reveals
The names are straightforward.

TWINBOX refers to the dual-chamber containers. For these, the second number indicates the payload in tonnes: the TWINBOX 4D 8/10 has a capacity of 10 t, whilst the TWINBOX 4D 12/14 has a capacity of 14 t. The first number and the suffix ‘4D’ are not explained in the information available to us. If in doubt, use the volume, payload and unladen weight figures from the advert.

What we look for in a second-hand Amtec Asphaltbox
Insulation and interior: The heat retention time depends entirely on the insulation. Check the outer shell and lid for dents, cracks and moisture; assess any asphalt residue adhering to the interior and ask how the container was cleaned.
Slides, lid and hydraulics: The small boxes have a two-part, insulated hinged lid and a fold-out discharge chute; the TWINBOX models have a rear slide with a locking system and a roof that is opened hydraulically using a hand pump. Slides must operate smoothly and close tightly; the hand pump must not lose pressure.
Mounting and securing: Check for deformation and cracks in forklift pockets, lashing points and tie-down points. If the box is to be bolted securely to a vehicle, check for existing mounting holes and ensure the combined weight of the empty box and its payload does not exceed the load capacity of the carrier vehicle.
Certificates: For TWINBOX models, ensure you are provided with the manufacturer’s certificate for thermal insulation – this is often crucial for tenders.

Frequently asked questions about Amtec
What is an Amtec asphalt box?
An insulated thermal container for hot asphalt mix. It is filled at the mixing plant, transported to the construction site on a vehicle and, according to the manufacturer’s specifications, keeps the material at paving temperature for up to 12 hours.
Does the Asphaltbox require a burner or electricity?
No. The specifications for Amtec boxes do not list a heating system; the temperature is maintained solely by the insulation. The ATB 3 is fully insulated to a depth of up to 10 cm, whilst the TWINBOX models feature insulation in accordance with BMVI specifications.
What sizes are available?
We are aware of the compact ATB 3 (3,600 kg, 2.0 m³), a 3.6-tonne asphalt box, the 5-tonne TC asphalt box, and the twin-chamber TWINBOX 4D 8/10 (10 tonnes) and TWINBOX 4D 12/14 (14 tonnes) containers.
What are the benefits of the TWINBOX’s dual-chamber design?
The two chambers, in a 60/40 ratio, allow two different types of mix to be transported in a single journey and discharged separately.
How is the Asphaltbox transported?
All models have forklift pockets; the ATB 3 also has lashing and tie-down eyes, whilst the TWINBOX has pre-drilled fixing points. For transport on a vehicle, it is essential that the combined weight of the empty container and the payload fits within the vehicle’s load capacity.
How do you empty an Amtec box?
Via sliders at the rear and a discharge chute – approximately 400 mm long on the ATB 3 (foldable), and approximately 4,000 mm long on the TWINBOX 4D 12/14.
Is a second-hand asphalt box worth buying?
Yes, provided the insulation, lid and sliders are in good condition – the boxes have neither a motor nor a burner, so wear and tear is limited to the mechanical parts and insulation. Check the interior for any residual asphalt and the outer shell for damage.
Can I lease an Amtec asphalt box or finance it via hire purchase?
For many listings – both new and used – you can submit a non-binding leasing or hire-purchase enquiry directly. You can clarify the terms with the dealer or their finance partner; the purchase and payment are handled directly between you and the seller.
