Paving equipment refers to the tools directly involved in the paving process. These are the machines that spread, roll, and seal asphalt. Paving machines include the following:
Because there are different grades of roads, there are also different grades of each kind of paving machine, ranging from the most compact, to heavy large-capacity machines. Pavers, in particular, vary and are available as self-propelling trucks or trailers featuring variable track or wheel models. Because there are different kinds of paver equipment, some equipment is more appropriate for residential use than others. Still, in general, most paving machines are owned by road construction companies. One of the most common reasons an individual might be interested in paving machinery is to become an independent contractor and provide paver, roller, or grader usage for a fee. Such ventures can be extremely profitable and offer excellent hourly wages provided you can find a company in need of your paving machinery. Paving Machine Rental. Because it is generally impractical to own a lot of paving machinery, it often makes more sense to rent. You can rent paving machines daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your need. The longer you keep your paving machinery, the cheaper it is per day. For rates in your area, see Construction Equipment for Rent. Paving Machine Sales. If you are looking at paving machines to purchase, the cost will depend on the machines, and their size, age, features, and manufacturers. A used self-propelling paver, for example, often costs around $200,000 whereas a screed might only cost $20,000. For the most complete listing of paver machines, see Asphalt Paving Company or Construction Equipment. If you are looking for new equipment, Asphalt Paving Co is still a good resource. You might also consider looking for manufacturer dealers. Paving machine manufacturers include Wirtgen, Ingersoll Rand, Caterpillar, Terex, Gomaco and more.
