Common Issues with Asphalt Pavers We Can Fix
Asphalt pavers face demanding workloads, and even minor issues can impact paving quality. Here are common problems we can repair to keep your equipment running smoothly:
Regular inspections are crucial for preventing costly breakdowns and ensuring your asphalt paver performs consistently on every project. By identifying wear on key components like screeds, conveyors, and hydraulic systems early, you can avoid unexpected downtime and expensive repairs. Proactive maintenance helps maintain smooth asphalt flow, extends equipment lifespan, and keeps your paving quality high, making it essential for uninterrupted job site productivity.
OUR SERVICES
We repair and service all major types of asphalt pavers used in commercial and large-scale paving projects. Each type requires specialized attention to ensure smooth, consistent results and prevent costly downtime.
Tracked pavers offer excellent traction and stability, making them ideal for large-scale road paving and uneven surfaces. We handle repairs for track alignment, screed leveling, and conveyor issues to keep them running smoothly on complex terrain.
Wheeled pavers are designed for speed and flexibility, often used in residential and smaller commercial projects. We repair tire damage, drivetrain issues, and material flow inconsistencies to ensure efficient operation on jobs requiring frequent repositioning.
Commercial pavers are commonly used for parking lots, driveways, and medium-sized surfaces. Our repair services cover screed misalignment, burner failures, and material distribution issues, ensuring high-quality paving for every project.
Built for large-scale roadwork and highway paving, these heavy-duty machines require specialized care. We service complex hydraulic systems, conveyor belts, and auger components to maintain even asphalt distribution for extensive paving jobs.
Compact pavers are ideal for tight spaces, bike paths, and patchwork jobs. We repair screed leveling, flow gate problems, and mechanical wear to help contractors complete smaller jobs with precision and reliability.
Asphalt paver repair services are essential for businesses that rely on high-performing paving equipment. Here’s who benefits most from professional repair services:
POPULAR QUESTIONS
Uneven asphalt distribution is often caused by worn-out auger flights, damaged conveyor belts, or improper screed adjustment. Material flow can also be disrupted by blockages in the hopper or inconsistent gate control settings. Proper calibration and regular component inspections can prevent these issues.
An uneven surface can result from screed plate wear, poor leveling system calibration, or improper crown adjustment. Hydraulic screed lifts may also need recalibration. If these components are worn or out of alignment, the screed won't distribute asphalt smoothly across the surface.
Burner issues often stem from fuel delivery problems, ignition malfunctions, or soot buildup in the burner assembly. Clogged fuel lines, a faulty spark plug, or insufficient fuel pressure can reduce heat efficiency, causing cold asphalt application and poor pavement quality.
Hydraulic issues can be traced by checking for pressure loss, leaks around fittings, or contamination in the fluid. A clogged hydraulic filter or a failing pump can reduce performance. We perform pressure tests and inspect the entire hydraulic circuit to identify the root cause.
A full component rebuild is recommended when essential parts like the screed, auger, or conveyor system show extreme wear or repeated failures despite multiple repairs. If critical components are close to their end-of-life cycle, a rebuild restores performance and extends the machine’s lifespan more cost-effectively.
