Asphalt paver attachments for skid steer loaders are hydraulic tools that transform a skid steer into a compact paving machine. Designed for small- to mid-scale paving tasks, these attachments lay hot or cold asphalt in smooth, uniform layers. Ideal for repair work, trench resurfacing, sidewalks, and tight-access paving.
2. Applications
Sidewalk and bike path construction
Trench and utility cut resurfacing
Driveway and residential road repair
Parking lot patching
Shoulder paving and trail creation
3. Compatibility
3.1 Mounting System
Mount Type
Compatible Loaders
Universal Quick Attach
Most full-size skid steers (Bobcat, CAT, CASE, etc.)
Ensure attachment fits securely to your skid steer’s quick-attach system.
3.2 Hydraulic Requirements
Parameter
Typical Range
Flow Rate
13 – 25 GPM
Operating Pressure
2,000 – 3,500 PSI
Coupler Type
½″ Flat Face ISO
Case Drain
May be required on high-flow models
Match your loader’s hydraulic output to the attachment’s specs for safe and effective operation.
4. Key Components
Component
Function
Hopper
Holds asphalt before feeding to the screed
Conveyor/Belt Drive
Transfers asphalt from hopper to screed using hydraulic power
Screed Plate
Spreads and levels asphalt evenly across the working width
Height Adjustment Skids
Set the paving thickness and maintain consistent depth
Side Skirts / Wings
Contain material flow and maintain clean edges
Control Valves/Levers
Operate belt, flow rate, and screed adjustments
Mount Frame
Connects to skid steer via quick-attach interface
5. Configuration Options
Feature
Benefit
Adjustable Screed Width
Allows width changes (typically 36″–72″ or 48″–96″)
Tilt/Crown Adjustment
Enables slope or water runoff shaping
Bolt-On Extensions
Add width for broader coverage without changing the frame
Heated Screed (optional)
Keeps asphalt workable in cold weather

7. Operating Guidelines
7.1 Setup
Attach securely to the skid steer’s quick-attach plate
Connect hydraulic hoses and check flow direction
Fill hopper with asphalt mix (hot or cold)
Test controls and screed movement before full operation
7.2 Paving Technique
Align paver at the start of the paving area
Lower screed and engage hydraulic conveyor
Move forward slowly at consistent speed
Monitor paving thickness and edge alignment
Periodically stop to verify compaction and coverage
8. Safety Best Practices
Wear heat-resistant gloves, steel-toe boots, and eye protection
Keep others at least 15 ft away from moving parts
Do not reach into hopper or belt area while running
Avoid paving near steep drops or unstable ground
Disconnect hydraulics before cleaning or adjusting
9. Maintenance Schedule
Task
Frequency
Inspect hydraulic lines and fittings
Daily
Clean hopper and conveyor system
After each use
Check belt/chain tension and wear
Weekly
Lubricate moving parts and bearings
Every 10 hours
Inspect screed for buildup/damage
After each use
Replace worn scraper or skirt edges
As needed
10. Selection Tips
Match the screed width to your job type and loader size Choose heated screed if paving in cold conditions Look for adjustable screed plates for variable depth control Consider hopper capacity and flow control for longer jobs Opt for replaceable wear parts for lower long-term maintenance costs
Ensure attachment fits securely to your skid steer’s quick-attach system.
Match your loader’s hydraulic output to the attachment’s specs for safe and effective operation.
