Material Slinger Trucks
One Call. One Team. Get More Out.
A material slinger truck places stone, gravel, sand and soil with a high-speed conveyor, in a controlled stream, right where it's needed. OE's stone slingers support its backfill and restoration work, so excavations are filled and restored by the same company that dug them.
Material Slinger Trucks From One Company
OE's restoration work is supported by a diverse fleet, including on-demand U-Fill concrete trucks, stone slingers and dump trucks.
Aggregate and sand delivery sits under one company with hydrovac excavation, road cutting and coring, U-Fill, surface restoration, and soil disposal and recycling. That removes the inefficiency, the redundant travel and the coordination overhead that come with multiple subcontractors.
One call gives fast, easy access to streamlined end-to-end services, from excavation to restoration.
Excavations are backfilled by the company that dug them, with aggregate from a stone slinger or dump truck, or with U-Fill.
Sand recycled from hydrovac waste is washed to meet the Ontario Provincial Standard Specification and is often used to refill excavated holes.
OE takes pride in making excavation look like it never happened, restoring the ground to look as good or better than before.
A fleet of over 200 units, with crews at 6 locations across Ontario.
What a Material Slinger Truck Is
A material slinger is a truck-mounted, high-speed conveyor that launches material to the target area in a controlled stream.
Fed from the truck's hopper, the conveyor places gravel and stone, sand and soil precisely, with far less handling by hand, and can reach areas that are otherwise hard to access. On OE jobs, stone slingers support backfill and restoration: excavations are backfilled with aggregate from a stone slinger or dump truck, or with U-Fill unshrinkable concrete, and the surface is then restored.

One Company From Trench to Topsoil
Excavation, backfill and restoration by one team, with the material on OE's own trucks, instead of a separate supplier and contractor for each step.
Bundling the backfill and restoration with the excavation, in one mobilization, is where OE's LEAN approach pays off: up to 10% cost savings and 50% productivity gains when Customers book the full job with OE. OE runs integrated operations from 6 Ontario locations, and co-location reduces travel, emissions and cost. OE's NextGen units are still working trucks, but roughly ten decibels quieter than conventional ones.
