Caterpillar asphalt pavers BG and AP – the Barber-Greene heritage since 1991: BG-210 to BG-260, AP-200 to AP-1055, wheeled and tracked, 26 to 166 kW
Caterpillar entered paver building in 1991 through the takeover of Barber-Greene of Aurora, Illinois – the firm had built the first asphalt paver in 1931 and shaped the floating-screed principle by which every paver works to this day. The BG models in the register (BG-210B, BG-225C, BG-230, BG-240, BG-245C, BG-260C) carry the old name on, the AP models (AP-200 to AP-1055) are Caterpillar's own nomenclature: the number roughly orders the size class – AP-200 the small paver for cycle paths and repairs, AP-600 and AP-655 the mid-range, AP-1000 and AP-1055 the big highway pavers – and the letters B, C and D are generations. The final digit 5 (AP-655, AP-1055) marks the tracked version, the round number (AP-650, AP-1000) the wheeled undercarriage; Mobil-Tracs, Caterpillar's rubber-track undercarriage, blurs that line.

The register lists 22 versions with 26.1 to 166.1 kW from two- to six-cylinders of 1,626 to 7,227 cm³ – 3054 in the mid-range, 3116 in the big ones, C7 ACERT in the younger generation – at rated speeds of 2,200 to 3,000 rpm.
The paver is a machine with two jobs: the tractor pulls the screed, feeding mix from the hopper via slat conveyor and auger, and the floating screed pre-compacts and lays the course to thickness and evenness – screed technology decides the quality, not engine output.
On used pavers, operating hours, wear of slat conveyor, auger and screed plates, the condition of the screed heating (gas or electric), undercarriage or tyres and the grade-control automation, whose sensors and controls are often dearer than the mechanics, are what count.
