Another benefit of the mobile spray rig is its capability to carry, store and haul extra material. Most rigs are set-up with a drum holding area to store extra material.

55-gallon drums often weigh 500 lbs to 600 lbs each, so moving them around the jobsite is not always an option, or at least an easy option. Therefore, the ability to store and haul extra material is often a critical benefit or serious consideration when purchasing a mobile spray rig.

Temperature Conditioning of Materials in Your Spray Rig
During the cold winter months, material stored in a trailer rig can get cold and unusable if the necessary precautions are not taken. Some rigs have optional heating systems and air conditioning to deal with basic temperature issues. Cold material can be a real production killer. Spray foams just won’t pump, mix or spray if they are not at the right temperature. Isocyanates (a-side) can also undergo a chemical freeze, rendering them useless if not stored or shipped properly.

Sometimes a basic heater in a rig just is not enough to keep the material at the optimum temperature for spraying during a long winter night. Some suppliers offer a variety of different auxiliary heating systems just for the materials. There are in-line hose material heaters, drum heating blankets, and band heaters that strap around the drums.  One of the newer, more effective material heating systems is called the Barrel Blazer, which is a heated platform that the drums actually sit on in the rig.
