2025 Caterpillar APM Wheel Asphalt Pavers AP500

The AP500 asphalt paver and SE47 Series screeds are designed for urban streets, parking lots, rural roads and many other small to intermediate-type applications. This paver and screed combination provides high throughput capability as-well-as application versatility, easy set-up, and a wide paving range.

Features may include:

• Powerful C4.4 engine delivers 110 kW (148 hp) of power that supports increased feeder system capacity as well as hopper inserts for continuous paving

• Tight 90 degreeturning capability enables the paver to rotate and cover tracks on a return paving pass

• Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 V screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15'6") with a maximum width of 6.1 m (20')

• Standard paving range utilizing the SE47 FM screed is 2.4 m - 4.7 m (8' - 15'6") with a maximum width of 6.2 m (20' 6")

• Paving depths up to 250 mm (10") supports aggregate paving applications

• Machine weight of less than 14.5 mt (32,000 lb) paver and screed combination enables easy transport on a variety of trailer types

• Length of less than 5.65 m (18' 6") and width of 2.6 m (8' 6") accommodates machine transport without special permits

• The front-loading angle of 17 degrees and high front bumper clearance reduces the need for additional blocking when loading onto various trailer designs

• Front, middle, and rear tie-down locations make securing the paver highly efficient for quick travel to the next job site

• Wheel undercarriage provides exceptional mobility and fast travel speeds for unmatched maneuverability around the job site

• Excellent traction is delivered through the 14.00x20 sand-rib or 17.5 R25 radial drive tires

• High ground clearance of 197 mm (7.8") helps avoid storm drains, curbs, and other obstacles

• Optimized hopper design with low truck entry height and short front apron enhances material flow while simplifying clean-out

• Enhanced feeder system with 355 mm (14") diameter augers provides consistent material flow across the screed for efficient flow at both narrow and wide paving widths

• Confined auger chamber keeps material moving and helps eliminate stagnate cold patches

• Independent control of each material feed sensor when utilizing a cut-off shoe, simply turn off the sensor for manual proportional feed control
