What do you need with the paver?

Choose self-drive hire if you already have the paving crew and supporting plant. Choose operated hire if you need MAC to supply the paver, driver and screwman. Choose a complete surfacing package if you need MAC to supply more of the paving crew and plant.

Output and whether you need more than one paver

A manufacturer's maximum output is not a reliable site promise. The area, paving width, material supply, crews, shift length and separate work areas all affect what can be laid. Send those details and MAC will check the likely output and whether one paver is enough.

Have photos but no firm machine choice?

Send the approximate area, narrowest access and any height restriction you know. If you have site photos, say so and MAC can arrange an expert review. Need help choosing the material too? Tell us and we will treat that as a separate part of the job.

Estimate how much asphalt you may need

Enter the area, layer depth and material to estimate tonnes and loads. The result can also suggest a paver class to discuss with MAC.

This is a planning estimate, not a quotation. MAC checks the material, machine and transport with you.
