This Vögele 1700 is an asphalt paver — sometimes referred to as a road paver or screeding machine — a self-propelled machine used to lay asphalt or other bituminous material across road surfaces in a controlled, even layer. Vögele is a well-established German manufacturer with a long heritage in road construction equipment, producing pavers and related machinery for the civil engineering and infrastructure industries.
This particular example dates from 1985 and is offered in used condition from a seller based in Austria. It is powered by a five-cylinder Deutz engine, a diesel engine family widely regarded for its robustness and suitability in heavy construction applications. The machine has a listed operating weight of 17 tonnes, placing it in the heavier end of the paver segment and indicative of a machine suited to larger-scale road construction work.
The unit is equipped with levelling automation, which allows the screed to follow a reference line or grade sensor to maintain consistent mat thickness and surface regularity — a standard feature on professional road paving operations. The seller also notes that the machine is configured for concrete paving, meaning it can be used to place concrete surfaces in addition to asphalt, broadening its range of application on civil construction sites.
