Salvage Roadmaking / Concrete Equipment in New Zealand

When it comes to paving roads or laying down asphalt, there are a lot of moving parts, and many pieces of equipment are necessary to get the job done. There are asphalt pavers, plants, finishers, and tank trailers; handheld compactors, plate compactors, and tandem vibratory rollers; concrete blowers, buckets, saws, and paving vibrators; concrete pump trucks; milling machines; and more.

As one of the largest manufacturers of construction equipment, Caterpillar is a good example for this category, offering a wide range of machinery built specifically for concrete and asphalt work. Within the company’s concrete equipment category, you’ll find cold planers, asphalt pavers, compactors, road reclaimers, and motor graders. Each one plays a different but pivotal role in preparing the earth for paving, compacting down the soil, laying out concrete, and then smoothing and grading it toward the end of the process.

Other major players in the paver and concrete equipment market include Gomaco, Roadtec, and Wirtgen, just to name a few.
