About Asphalt Pavers
Asphalt Pavers are some of the most unique looking machines that you will see on a road construction project. This is the machine that does exactly what the name says, it paves asphalt. Unlike a skid steer or a backhoe loader, the type of contractors that actually own one of these Asphalt Paver specialize in a very unique business. There is a large investment in becoming a paving contractor and that keeps out many smaller companies and leave a select few in an area that will be paving with an asphalt paver. Some of the investment includes what is called a hot plant. This is the area where the various aggregates will be mixed, heated, and turned into what will be laid on the roads we drive. Sometimes these hot plants will be in one permanent location and sometimes these hot plants will be mobile and able to move closer to where the asphalt paver will be working.
