What Tier 4 Means for Asphalt Contractors

The U.S. government first took action against air pollution in the mid-fifties, with the Air Pollution Control Act of 1955. The act recognized air pollution as a national problem and provided federal funding to improve air quality. Then in the sixties, the Clean Air Act of 1963 set emission standards for stationary sources such as power plants, steel mills and the like – and identified motor vehicle exhaust as a problem.

Since January 1, 2011, manufacturers have been required to use T4i engines in all equipment for the U.S. and European Union countries in machines over 174 hp and under 751 hp with the exception of some 'Flex Credits' that may be used.

Longer Life for Your Mat

For every ton of asphalt paved, your reputation is on the line. Asphalt producers and paving contractors take pride in delivering a durable road that lasts for 15 or 20 years or longer. Yet, sending segregated mix to the jobsite or laying a mat with patches of segregation can ruin a company's reputation, not to mention significantly affect the bottom line.

Today's new generation of MTVs lowers ground contact pressures and are easier to transport to/from the site and park once at the jobsite.
