Mini, Midi, Standard or SprayJet?
Many misconceptions about pavers are that one size fits all. This is simply not the case, as nowadays these specialist pavers are built with a specific purpose in mind and to fit into certain situations.
The Mini (800-3i) paver is the smallest of the VOGELE pavers, with a standard width of 1.2m - 2.2m. This can be extended by a further metre to 3.2m with extension boxes, and this option can be used as a short-term solution when a midi is not available or space does not allow for a midi paver. A popular choice with many contractors, as the price/performance ratio is outstanding. It is an ideal option for within both towns and cities, and also for any landscaping applications. Known for fitting just about anywhere.
If you are thinking on a slightly larger scale then the VOGELE Midi (1300-3i & 1303-3i) paver is the one for you. Known as the 'middle-sized' paver, it can adapt to most situations easily. It is small enough to fit in reasonably tight areas, however can also easily substitute for a Standard when necessary. Part of the compact class, this paver is exceptionally versatile thanks to its size. It can handle a wide range of areas - anything from a cycling path or farm track, to a busy road.
The VOGELE 1800-3i and 1803-3i aka "Standard" paver is the archetypal paver envisioned when thinking about a paver. They are big, heavy-duty machines; capable of laying a whole host of different materials on huge expanses of road. With a maximum pave width of 10m, and actual machine length of just 6m, this machine can handle anything from a motorway to a roundabout. Offered in both a wheeled and tracked version, allowing for work on all types of ground.
