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.

Where this category begins and ends

Belongs here

Self-propelled asphalt pavers with wheeled or tracked propulsion.

Belongs elsewhere

Concrete pavers, standalone screeds and material-transfer vehicles. A feeder working ahead of a paver is not another paver.

Prepare a useful comparison

Dimensions and configuration to check

  • Transport dimensions with screed specified
  • Basic and maximum paving width separately
  • Hopper width
  • Loading height
  • Paving thickness range

Compare the same configuration, including attachments, folded parts, counterweights and stabilizers. Transport dimensions can differ substantially from the working setup.

Before comparing used machines

Check screed plates and heaters, augers, conveyors and levelling controls. Record extensions transported separately.
