When you’re planning a paving or asphalt project, choosing the right paver hire company can make all the difference. The quality of your paving equipment hire directly impacts the speed, accuracy, and finish of your work.


At AP Pavers, we believe hiring a paver should be simple, transparent, and tailored to your needs. Whether you’re managing a driveway, car park, or large-scale road job, here are the essential questions you should be asking any asphalt paver hire company - along with our answers.


1. How wide does the machine go?

Our asphalt pavers for hire are available in a variety of widths to suit every project. From compact machines for smaller areas to large-format pavers for road construction. Our fleet can handle everything from narrow pathways to wide carriageways, ensuring efficient coverage and a professional finish.


2. What’s the laydown rate?

Laydown rate, or paving speed, is key to keeping your project on schedule. While actual rates depend on material type and site conditions, our hire pavers are built for productivity - delivering smooth, consistent results without sacrificing quality. AP Pavers’ machines are maintained for optimum performance, so you can work efficiently and confidently.


3. What paver do I need?

Not sure which machine suits your project best? No problem. The right paver for hire depends on your site access, surface material, and production needs. Our experienced team will help you choose between compact or large-capacity pavers to ensure the ideal match for your job - saving you time and money.


4. Does it come with automatic level controllers (grade and slope control)?

Most of our paver hire equipment can be equipped with advanced automatic level control systems for grade and slope. These systems are available on a wide range of our machines and can be fitted on request, ensuring an even, accurate finish and reducing the need for manual adjustments.


5. How new is the equipment you hire out?

We pride ourselves on offering one of the most modern and well-maintained paver hire fleets in the industry. Our machines are kept as new as possible, regularly serviced, and quality-checked before every hire. That means less downtime, more reliability, and better performance on-site.


6. Do I need tracks or wheels?

A common but important question. Tracked pavers offer excellent traction and stability, ideal for soft ground or uneven surfaces. Wheeled pavers are faster and more mobile on firm, level ground. At AP Pavers, we’ll help you choose the best option based on your site conditions and project requirements so you get the best results possible.



Hiring a paver isn’t just about renting a machine - it’s about getting the right equipment, advice, and support to deliver a quality finish.


At AP Pavers, we’re here to make your paver hire experience seamless from start to finish. We combine reliable, up-to-date equipment with expert service, ensuring your paving project runs smoothly and efficiently.
