W e just bought a gang of equipment this spring at Wis- Coat Asphalt Maintenance . The type of equipment that makes you consider either taking “ Asphalt Maintenance ” off the end of your business name or adding “ and Paving ” to it . Paver . Skid Steer . Deckover Trailer . Vibratory Roller . Crack Routers . No doubt about it , it ’ s a huge leap and big cost association with it . I wanted to make sure I was being smart about the purchases . I am fortunate enough to have been around the best paving companies in the industry and the great employees / owners that make those companies thrive . So , I did plenty of research , but also took my team and goals into consideration in this process . When buying Asphalt Paving and Maintenance equipment , there are several important factors to consider ; ensuring you get the right equipment for your needs . I wanted to share with you the 10 things I found myself taking into consideration recently when buying :
1 . Type of Equipment : Determine the specific type of asphalt paving equipment you need , whether it ’ s an asphalt paver , asphalt roller , asphalt distributor , or other machinery based on the scale and nature of your paving projects .
2 . Quality and Durability : Look for equipment from reputable manufacturers known for producing high-quality and durable machinery . This ensures reliability and longevity , reducing downtime and maintenance costs in the long run .
3 . Performance : Evaluate the performance capabilities of the equipment , including factors such as paving width , paving speed ,
