Five minutes of questions, three machine recommendations, one corridor service plan. Built for contractors who know their cubic meters and night-window minutes.
Each card pairs the problem on the left with a machine combination on the right — tracked versus wheeled, screed width and whether an MTV belongs in the train.
Soft subgrade, short transfers, curb returns that tear if the screed is oversized.
Compact wheeled or small tracked paver · 2.5–5 m screed · plate compactors for edges · optional skid-steer for tie-ins.
Night closures, nuclear-gauge density targets, MTV needed to break truck segregation.
Mid/large tracked paver · MTV · 2× tandem roller · pneumatic tire roller · asphalt distributor for tack.
Abrasive mixes, steep gradeability, long conveyor wear cycles under dusty feed.
Tracked paver with abrasive screed plates · heavy hopper flights · tandem roller train · remote parts staging.
Thin lifts, tight geometry, joint matching against existing structure elevations.
Compact paver with precision grade/slope · narrow screed extensions · light tandem for approach slabs.
Noise ordinances, short dumps, tight turning inside live traffic cones.
Wheeled paver · LED night package · dust-suppression support · curb-friendly screed ends.
Steep grades, seasonal flood downtime, hydraulic cleanliness after silt exposure.
Tracked paver with wide track shoes · ISO 4406 sampling SOP · seasonal conveyor rebuild kit.

Procurement teams rarely need a single “winner.” They need an honest trade-off between ground pressure, transfer cost and curb geometry — the paving equivalent of the crawler-versus-wheeled excavator debate.
Lower ground pressure on soft or unbound base, stronger traction on steep gradeability sections, and better stability when screed packages push past about 7.5 m. Typical operating weight for mid/large tracked chassis lands in the 16–22 t class; ground pressure can be held near 45–55 kPa with wider track shoes. Best when the corridor stays on one site for multiple night windows.
Faster road travel between urban overlays without a lowboy every transfer, tighter curb returns, and lower mobilization cost on firm, prepared surfaces. Compact wheeled units commonly sit in the 12–16 t operating-weight band with engine power around 129–160 kW. Best when nightly tonnage stays moderate and the crew hops sites inside the same metro area.
