Top 5 Must-Have Accessories for a Successful Sealcoating Crew

When it comes to running a productive sealcoating crew, success hinges on more than your trailer or tank setup. The accessories you bring to each job site are just as essential—they can dramatically impact your efficiency, the quality of your finished product, and the safety of your team.

At Seal-Rite, we know how important every piece of equipment is. That’s why we don’t just manufacture the best sealcoating skids, trailers, and tanks—we also offer a full lineup of dependable, high-performance accessories that help your crew tackle any pavement maintenance job.

1. Reliable Spray Tips

Spray tips are small but mighty—they control how your sealer is applied, dictating coverage, flow, and finish. Whether sealing a residential driveway or a commercial parking lot, the right spray tip significantly affects how evenly the product is laid down.

Seal-Rite stocks various fan-pattern spray tips that can handle everything from broad, sweeping applications to more controlled work near curbs or edges. Using the correct tip for the job helps reduce waste, improve efficiency, and give your sealcoating work a consistent, professional appearance.

Quick Tip: Always carry backup tips. Even the best nozzles wear out, and a clogged or damaged tip can cause costly delays, downtime, and uneven results.

2. Crack Filling Machines

Before you seal, you need to repair. Cracks in asphalt surfaces lead to water intrusion and sub-surface damage, so filling them before applying a topcoat is critical. A reliable crack-filling system ensures you’re not covering problems, but fixing them at the source.

At Seal-Rite, we provide a full range of hot pour crack-filling equipment, including direct-fire kettles and trailer-mounted melters. These tools allow your crew to efficiently melt and apply rubberized crack sealant, preventing long-term deterioration of the pavement.

Addressing cracks before sealcoating extends the surface’s life and reflects well on your expertise—customers notice when repairs are handled right.

3. Professional-Grade Brooms, Brushes & Squeegees

Not every inch of asphalt is suited for a spray system. Every crew needs a solid set of hand tools—like sealcoating brooms, brushes, and squeegees—for fine detailing, edges, and touch-ups.

Whether you’re working in tight areas near garages, along fences, or around landscaping, these tools let your team apply sealer precisely where a spray tip might struggle. Our heavy-duty brushes and squeegees are made to handle the challenging demands of repeated use, delivering smooth finishes in the spots that need the most care. Squeegee vs brush comes down to personal preference at the end of the day, so we recommend trying each and figuring out which you prefer.

These tools are also essential for sealing smaller patches, fixing missed areas, or blending hand-applied and spray-applied surfaces for a seamless look.

4. Surface Prep Tools

Clean pavement is non-negotiable before applying sealer. Dirt, leaves, gravel, and debris can all prevent proper adhesion, reducing the lifespan and effectiveness of your sealcoating job. That’s where the Billy Goat Blower becomes a critical crew member.

Billy Goat Blowers deliver high-powered airflow to clear large areas quickly and efficiently. The Billy Goat Grazor is designed to clear weeds and debris from cracks, preparing them for proper filling and sealing. New this year, we offer a stand-on blower for even more efficient clearing speeds. Additionally, this stand-on blower fits on our new HD trailer line, which has extra deck space for this larger-sized blower.

Having these machines on-site means your team doesn’t waste time with manual sweeping, and your sealcoating results are more durable, even, and professional-looking.

5. Replacement Parts & On-the-Go Maintenance Kits

Even the best equipment needs maintenance. A productive crew can’t afford downtime caused by a worn-out hose, cracked gasket, or malfunctioning valve. That’s why every team should carry a basic parts and maintenance kit.

Seal-Rite offers comprehensive kits tailored to our sealcoating systems, including essential components like hoses, filters, seals, and replacement valves. Having these items on hand lets your crew make quick repairs in the field, avoid service delays, and keep the job on schedule.

In addition, teaching your crew basic troubleshooting and repair skills means fewer calls back to the shop and more time spent completing jobs.
