Train your crew quickly and get up to speed with the easiest-to-use melters on the market.
First introduced in 1996, Crafco’s Super Shot crack sealing melters help you make the most of your budget with three sizes and a variety of configurations to meet your unique challenges. See why the Super Shot was voted the Contractor’s Choice by “Roads & Bridges” readers for nine years straight.
Designed for ease of use, safety, and efficiency, the Super Shot works with you to get the job done right.
With the only true on-demand pumping system on the market, the Super Shot’s pump only runs when needed, saving wear, maintenance and material waste. The pump is mounted inside the tank but remains accessible, eliminating the need for material recirculation or external plumbing.
The ergonomic overhead Flex Boom supports the weight of the hose, reducing fatigue and keeping the hose from dragging on the ground. It also helps increase the maximum working distance with built-in swiveling hose hangers that prevent hang-ups.
High-BTU burner and oil-jacketed double-boiler tank for fast, even material melting with no scorching.
The Super Shot line is engineered to conserve resources so you can stay out longer and get more done each day.

On top of the numerous standard features, the Super Shot line offers several additional options to meet your crew’s specific needs.
A wide range of equipment lights are available to direct traffic, help crew members stand out safely, and extend working hours.
The Driver Alert System enables easy communication between crew members and the melter operator. With the push of a button, the operator can tell the driver to move forward, stop, or adjust speed. The system features adaptive volume, wireless operation, a waterproof design and easy installation on either side of the wand handle.
Enhance your crew’s safety and efficiency with the Work Area Camera system, which provides the driver with real-time visibility. The 5” color monitor and waterproof camera pair instantly, ensuring a clear view of the work area without leaving the cab.
The Super Shot 125 and Super Shot 250 are available with an optional compressor providing 100CFM of air, allowing fast removal of dirt and debris from cracks with an air lance as your crew moves along.
The Autoloader provides efficient sealant block loading from a tow vehicle to the melter, while also keeping the operator safely away from hot sealant. Featuring weather-proof switches, a splash-resistant loading tower and waterproof electrical enclosures, the Autoloader reduces labor, streamlines your workflow, and helps ensure safety – without requiring equipment modifications.
The overnight heaters keep sealant warm overnight so you can get started faster the next day. They plug in to AC power and reduce the heat-up time required to dispense material.
The shot timer kit makes attaching pavement markers simple by dispensing a set amount of material with each pull of the wand trigger. It can be ordered with your machine from the factory or added later to Super Shot or EZ Series II melters that have electric heated hoses.

Also known as tarpots, crack machines, crack sealers, kettles, melters, crackpots or a variety of other names, crack sealing melters are used to melt modified asphalt crack sealant for sealing cracks in pavement. The material tank is usually oil-jacketed for even heat distribution and to prevent material scorching. Smaller crack sealing melters like the EZ Pour 50 may use propane or diesel burners to heat sealant and may be gravity-fed with a pour spout. Larger melters like the Super Shot 125, Super Shot 250 and EZ Series II line use diesel burners and have sealant pumps that feed material through a hose and applicator wand. The Super Shot 60 is available with a propane or diesel burner, but it is pump-fed with a hose. The hose and wand can be heated, which keeps the material warm to prevent clogs.
With an extensive line of specialized sealants and outstanding service, Crafco is the most trusted name in crack sealing.
