• Hours and service records on engine-driven units, and whether the engine starts easily and holds speed.
• On rollers: drum condition, vibration at every setting, scrapers and the water spray system.
• On pavers: screed condition and heat, conveyors, augers, and track or tire wear.
• On plate compactors and rammers: base plate or shoe wear, leaks at the exciter, and the shock mounts.
• Weight and transport: the trailer and truck it takes to move the machine between jobs.

Questions buyers ask

Plate compactor or rammer?

A plate compactor is for granular base, sand and asphalt patching. A rammer, or jumping jack, hits harder in a small footprint and is the tool for clay soil and trench backfill.

Single drum or double drum roller?

Single drum rollers, smooth or padfoot, compact soil and base. Double drum rollers are the standard for asphalt, with water spray to keep the mix off the drums.

How do I inspect a used asphalt paver?

Bring the screed up to temperature and check the heat across its width, run the conveyors and augers, and look at the tracks or tires. Ask when the screed was last rebuilt.

What does it take to move a roller or paver?

Small rollers and compactors ride on an equipment trailer behind a pickup. Large pavers and rollers need a heavier trailer and often a commercial license, so plan the move before you buy.
