Road crack repair is one of the most important parts of daily road maintenance. Timely crack sealing can greatly extend the service life of roads and reduce long-term maintenance costs. Professional asphalt crack sealing equipment can greatly improve construction efficiency and repair quality, compared with traditional manual crack filling work. In recent years, more and more road maintenance contractors from different countries have chosen this equipment to improve their work efficiency. This article will share two real project cases from Europe and North America, and introduce the actual use effect and value of this equipment.
A high-quality crack-filling machine can adapt to different construction environments and road conditions, helping contractors complete more projects within limited construction time. The following two cases are from real clients who purchased our equipment for their local road maintenance projects, and all data comes from their actual construction feedback.

Case 1: Road Maintenance Project in the Czech Republic
Client Background :
Our client is a small local road maintenance contractor from the Czech Republic, mainly undertaking township road and community road maintenance projects.
Client Core Demand :
Before purchasing our asphalt crack sealing equipment, the client used a manual crack filling method for all projects. The work efficiency was very low, and the repair quality was uneven, which often led to secondary cracking of the repaired cracks within half a year. The client needed a set of equipment that could improve construction efficiency and ensure repair quality, and the equipment should be easy to move between scattered small projects.
YG Targeted Solution :
We recommended the hand-push type asphalt crack sealing equipment for this client. This model has a 100L material tank, with constant temperature heating and heat preservation function, and is equipped with moving wheels, which are very suitable for scattered small road maintenance projects. We also provided detailed operational guidance for the client’s construction team.
Client Authentic Feedback:
After 6 months of actual use, the client shared his real construction data: “This asphalt crack sealing equipment has greatly improved our work efficiency. We could only repair 200-300 meters of cracks every day by manual work, but now we can complete 800-1000 meters every day, which is more than 3 times faster than before. The repaired cracks are very flat and uniform, and the secondary cracking rate is much lower than that of manual construction. We have taken on 2 more small projects this year because of the improved efficiency. This equipment is definitely a worthwhile investment for our small team.”
Case 2: Municipal Road Maintenance Project In Canada
Client Background:
Our client is a local road maintenance service provider from Canada, mainly undertaking municipal road and parking lot maintenance projects.
Client Core Demand :
The local winter is long and the temperature is low. The client’s previous asphalt crack filler equipment could not work normally when the temperature was below 10℃, which greatly shortened their annual construction period. The client needed crack sealing equipment with a good heat preservation effect, which can work normally in a low-temperature environment, and the construction quality will not be affected by low temperatures.
YG Targeted Solution:
We recommended the enhanced constant-temperature model for this client. This model adds a multi-layer heat preservation structure for the material tank and discharge pipe, which can maintain the temperature of the sealing material stably even in a low-temperature environment, ensuring normal discharging and construction quality. We also adjusted the equipment parameters according to the local temperature conditions.
Client Authentic Feedback:
After one construction season of use, the client gave us feedback: “The low-temperature adaptability of this asphalt crack sealing equipment is much better than we expected. In previous years, we could only work from May to October, but this year we can still construct normally when the temperature drops to minus 5℃ in late autumn, which extends our construction period by nearly 2 months. The sealing effect is also very stable, and there is no problem of material solidification or uneven discharging in low temperatures. This equipment has helped us take on many more projects that we could not take on before.”
How To Calculate Crack Sealing Efficiency For Your Projects
Many contractors will care about how much work efficiency can be improved after using the asphalt crack sealer machine. You can calculate the actual construction efficiency according to the following methods to judge whether the equipment is cost-effective for your projects:
- Calculate daily construction length: Under normal construction conditions, a standard hand-push type of equipment can complete 800-1200 meters of crack repair every day, while manual construction can only complete 200-300 meters. The specific efficiency will vary according to the width and depth of cracks and the proficiency of operators.
- Calculate labor cost saving: Manual crack filling requires 3-4 workers to work at the same time, while the equipment only needs 1-2 workers to complete all work. You can calculate the labor cost saved every day according to the local labor cost.
- Calculate rework cost reduction: The repair quality of equipment construction is more stable, and the secondary cracking rate is more than 60% lower than that of manual construction, which can save a lot of rework cost in the later period.
- For small and medium-sized road maintenance contractors, using professional asphalt crack filler equipment can usually recover the equipment cost within 6-8 months, which is a very cost-effective investment. You can calculate the specific return cycle according to your project volume and local cost level.
Our asphalt crack sealer machine has stable performance and strong adaptability, and has been used in road maintenance projects in many countries with good feedback.
