Infill scarafied concrete patch?

| Posted in Construction Techniques on
I had a 3″ high patch of concrete removed from a warehouse floor. Before they poured the “bump”, they had the smooth top part removed, and naturally the jackhammer bit off a little, too.
What’s the best way to fill it in?
I’ve checked the archives, and I’ve seen where you folks suggested self-leveling compound, but that goes back to 2002. Is is still my best bet?
The fork-lift operator and the warehouse manager don’t need the floor dead flat (the rest of the place isn’t) but usable.
Suggestions, please?
Quality repairs for your home.

I think the stuff I've used before for a similar application was HD-50 concrete patch. I'm not sure if you can make it self leveling, but it's strong, and sets up in a couple hours. It feathers out well. I'd use a bonding agent on the old concrete.
It says it's for exactly what you're talking about- patching warehouse floors, concrete road/runways, etc.
