At Archway Products, we don’t just design machines—we craft solutions to real-world road maintenance challenges. The Roadmaster velocity patcher isn’t just about fixing potholes; it’s about empowering road managers with the most advanced tools for efficient, preventative road maintenance.
Smarter, Greener Road Maintenance Solutions
For over 25 years, our Roadmaster spray injection patcher system has set the standard for sustainable road repair. We minimize waste, reduce material usage, lower energy consumption, and deliver the lowest cost per square meter of repaired surface. Our commitment to preventative road maintenance means roads last longer, require fewer repairs, and remain safer for everyone.
Why choose Roadmaster?
- Proven velocity patcher technology
- Efficient pothole repair, even in challenging conditions
- Reduced environmental impact
- Lowest cost per square meter
Built for All Weather and Road Conditions
If you’ve worked in Ireland or the UK, you know that rain and cold are constant hurdles for road maintenance. Most patching systems sit idle when temperatures drop or roads get wet. Not the Roadmaster. With our innovative winter kit, repairs are possible even in freezing conditions where other patchers fail. Our technology enables patching on damp roads and even during light rain, so Roadmaster machines operate up to 40 weeks a year—far beyond the typical April-to-October patching season. In Cork, our teams patch roads all year round, proving the flexibility and reliability of the Roadmaster system.
Taking Preventative Road Maintenance Global
Over the past two years, we’ve expanded beyond the British Isles, adapting our Roadmaster velocity patchers to new countries and diverse road networks. Last year, we delivered a Roadmaster to the Icelandic Roads Authority, showcasing our commitment to providing effective preventative road maintenance solutions worldwide.
Looking Ahead: Roadmaster Innovations for 2025
We’re excited to announce several new developments for 2025:
Patcher in the Box
The new Patcher in the Box brings Roadmaster’s proven spray injection patcher technology to a modular, globally adaptable format. Shipped in a container and mountable on any local chassis cab, it delivers the same safety, power, and efficiency—now with unmatched logistical flexibility. No matter where you are, you can tackle potholes and maintain roads with the trusted Roadmaster system.
Mini Patcher
Urban roads, bike paths, and narrow city streets present unique challenges. That’s why we created the Mini Patcher: a compact version of the Roadmaster velocity patcher, designed for tight spaces without compromising on performance. Now, preventative road maintenance is possible everywhere—from city centers to rural lanes.
