Choosing asphalt pavers for the job

Build your shortlist

Match the paver, screed and material supply

Treat the paver and screed as a complete working package. Required paving width, site access and material delivery influence the shortlist together. Shipping dimensions do not describe the extended screed or the space needed for trucks and crew.

Finished width	Screed and extension package	Confirm the documented working range
Material supply	Hopper, conveyor and truck interface	Review the planned supply sequence
