The invention relates to an injector device with plastic for repairing cracks, which has an injector gun with an injector nozzle for the outlet of the plastic on a first end, a collector for receiving plastic beads connected to the second end of the injector gun, supply means configured to move the plastic beads from the collector along the injector gun to the injector nozzle, and heating means along the injector gun in order to heat the plastic beads until they are in a liquid state before the outlet thereof through the injector nozzle.

A machine for backfilling pavement material into a trench defined within a pavement surface includes a frame defining a longitudinal axis and having at least one wheel. The frame being configured to move along the pavement surface. A hopper supported on the frame and including an inlet opening configured to receive pavement material and an outlet opening configured to discharge pavement material into the trench. The machine also includes a compactor supported on the frame and aligned with the hopper along the longitudinal axis. The compactor is configured to compact the discharged pavement material within the trench.

Presented herein is a system for dispensing media within a trench. The system includes a carriage having a chassis supported on one or more wheels, and a hopper supported on the carriage. The hopper is configured to receive media through an opening and output the media through an outlet. The system also includes a churning device at an inner portion of the hopper configured to agitate the media within the hopper. The media exits the hopper into a chute that is configured to deposit the media within the trench. The system can also include at least one liquid dispenser configured to dispense the liquid on the media after the media has been deposited in the trench. In certain embodiments, the system can include at least one tamp configured to compress the media into the trench after deposition of the media and the liquid.

A hose holder system includes a rigid holder having a substantially vertical section and a substantially horizontal section. A flexible sling movably couples with the substantially horizontal section and includes a first flap and a second flap. A hose couples with the rigid holder through the sling, the hose coupled between the first flap and second flap, the sling supporting a portion of the hose in a position substantially parallel with the substantially horizontal section of the rigid holder. A swiveling base is coupled with the rigid holder and includes an opening therethrough through which the hose passes substantially perpendicularly. In implementations the hose holder system is configured to allow the hose to contact no rigid element of the hose holder system between the opening and a dispenser during use. The hose may enter the sling at an about 90 degree angle and exit at an about 30-35 degree angle.
