Abstract: Road working apparatus, towed by a road working vehicle, such as a truck, includes a cage portion for protecting workers performing tasks such as filling potholes. The cage has an opening through the floor, which opening is positioned over the pothole. If necessary the size of the opening can be increased by pivoting up one or more grates. Preferably the apparatus includes machinery and equipment necessary to perform the particular task at hand, such as a hot patch and blacktop dispersing unit, a generator and an air compressor for powering road working tools.
