A paver (usually meant by Asphalt Paver) is a machine that distributes and shapes asphalt, a combination of aggregate and a binding agent that is used for paving roads. The asphalt is laid on an area such as a roadway or a parking lot by an asphalt paver, which also completes the task of compacting it.
Though some asphalt pavers are towed by the truck that provides the asphalt, most today are self propelled and diesel-fueled. Smaller, towed pavers usually have 3-20 horsepower, whereas larger self propelled versions have between 100-250 horsepower.
