Wheel Asphalt Pavers For Sale

About Wheel Asphalt Pavers

In the decades since the first mechanical, self-propelled asphalt paver was built in the early 1930s, both wheel and track models of these machines have helped pave millions of miles’ worth of highways, interstates, private driveways, golf course paths, parking lots, airport runways, and countless other surfaces.

Dynapac F80W Wheel Paver

Like track asphalt pavers, wheel models are made up of two main parts: the tractor and a floating screed. The tractor’s engine, conveyors, hopper, augers, rollers, material transport system, and other components help power the paver forward while laying down and spreading asphalt. The screed is typically situated behind the tractor, and its plates, sensors, leveling arms, and other parts help compact and level the asphalt surface.

Wheel vs. Track Asphalt Paver Considerations

While track asphalt pavers provide better traction and more consistent performance on soft ground conditions as well as on inclines, wheel-equipped models excel on hard and compact surfaces and in overlay paving applications that negate the traction-related benefits track models provide. In addition to faster speed around the jobsite, wheel models are much faster to transport between jobsites without a trailer—a factor worth considering if routinely performing paving and repair tasks on roads in urban settings. Dynapac, in fact, has a City Pavers lineup designed for such jobs. In addition, wheel models are usually less expensive initially and where long-term maintenance and repairs are concerned than track models.

Wheel Asphalt Paver Features

Modern wheel asphalt pavers enlist the use of sensors, cameras, and other components and technologies to enable automated guidance, measurement, feeding systems, slope control, leveling and grading, and more. Other features of wheel asphalt paves can also include efficient Tier IV diesel engines, larger hoppers, hydraulic screen extensions, work lights, fume-management systems, touchscreen displays, onboard diagnostics, and telematics solution support. Some models, like Cat’s wheel asphalt pavers, feature a power turning system and all-wheel drive.
