A paver is an essential piece of construction equipment used to lay asphalt on our roads, bridges, and highways. It lays the asphalt flat and provides minor compaction before it is compacted by a roller. In order to provide a smooth surface, the paver needs to travel at a constant speed and have a consistent stockpile of material in front of the screed. Any increase or decrease in material stockpile or paver speed can result in an uneven layer of asphalt and an uneven final surface.
