This 2001 Caterpillar AP-1000B is a used asphalt paver — sometimes referred to as a blacktop paver or road paver — a machine designed to distribute and compact hot-mix asphalt to form road surfaces, parking lots, and other paved areas. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and road-building equipment, supplying machinery to the civil engineering, infrastructure, and mining industries globally.
This particular unit is equipped with a 10-20B screed, which is the floating assembly at the rear of the machine responsible for spreading and initially compacting asphalt to a consistent thickness and width. The screed is fitted with 12-inch screed extensions, allowing the operator to increase the paving width beyond the standard working width to accommodate wider passes. Heating for the screed is provided by an auto screed heat system running on diesel, which keeps the screed plate at the temperature needed to prevent asphalt from sticking and to deliver a smooth finished surface.
The paver features front wheel assist, a drive configuration that adds traction to the front axle and improves machine mobility and control, particularly on softer or uneven ground. A hydraulic generator is also installed, supplying electrical power to on-board systems without requiring a separate external power source.
A notable condition detail is that the screed wear plates have been replaced and have accumulated less than 10,000 tons of material since installation, indicating that this critical wear component retains substantial remaining service life. The machine is located in California, USA, and is offered at $69,900.
