Options to Enhance Paving Profits: Select features that can boost asphalt paver productivity and versatility

摘要

When selecting an asphalt paver for your fleet, the size class will be largely dictated by the type of work you plan to perform. But once the size is determined, what options should you consider adding? With today's tight purchase budgets, it's important to focus on features that can provide the biggest benefit to your bottom line. Giving thought to options before you buy is not only good planning, it saves money. "It's more expensive to add an option later than it is to have it put on initially and include it in the purchase price," says Eric Fatyol, Volvo's paving and milling product specialist for North America. "I've seen a lot of pavers go out of here with very diverse option packages. Contractors are trying to make the machine as versatile as they can because it means they can offer customers a greater variety of work."
