Compact asphalt laying machine for sidewalks and the like

摘要

A self-propelled paving machine has a pivotable steering assembly, a gravity-fed hopper, and is relatively small, thereby specifically adapting it to applications in which high degrees of maneuverability are required, such as for paving sidewalks, golf cartways, and the like. The hopper is designed to permit loading from either side using a wheelbarrow, thus contributing to the suitability of the machine for small paving jobs, and the screed assembly is readily and conveniently adjusted to vary the thickness, width, and configuration of the deposited mat.
