Asphalt pavers are heavy construction machines used to lay asphalt on roads, parking lots, and other surfaces. They work by spreading a layer of hot asphalt evenly, ensuring a smooth and durable finish. The machine consists of a hopper to receive the asphalt, a conveyor system to move it forward, and a screed that levels and compacts the material. These machines come in various sizes and types, suitable for different projects. Operators control the paver's speed and direction, allowing for precise placement. Proper use of asphalt pavers is essential for maintaining the quality of asphalt surfaces and extending their lifespan.
