Rethinking Asphalt Paver Choices: Time to Break the Habit
No ownership headaches - No compromise on quality - Just the right paver, when you need it.
There’s a great deal of brand loyalty - or brand myopia - in the asphalt paving industry. Just because a manufacturer produces pavers doesn't mean those machines are cost-effective or reliable. I’ve personally have used brands like ABG, VÖGELE, and BOMAG to name a few - but habits like these can be hard to break, even when support and service fall short.
In today’s tighter, more competitive market, businesses are under pressure. Margins are shrinking, and it’s become harder to turn a profit. That means efficiency, reliability, and total cost of ownership are more important than ever. When it comes to pavers, contractors should be asking: How can I improve productivity without compromising on quality - and without letting running costs spiral out of control?
Some manufacturers claim high theoretical production rates, but what’s the point if the machine ends up costing more to buy, service, and fuel - with no meaningful advantage on the jobsite? Servicing twice as often and burning more fuel only adds to the operational burden. The right choice needs to balance upfront cost, long-term running costs, reliability, and real-world performance.
That’s where VÖGELE stands apart. Known for their intelligent, user-focused designs - from the ErgoPlus operating system to eco-friendly engine technologies and smart performance features - VÖGELE pavers are engineered to deliver high-quality results and long-term efficiency. Their latest generation, the Dash 5 series, takes this even further with more onboard tech and better support than ever.

With a variety of flexible hire options including Contract Hire, Long-Term Hire, Spot Day Hire, and R&M packages, customers can access the full range of the latest VÖGELE pavers, matched exactly to their project needs.
