Benjamin Everett developed the N-TELE-AUGER, an innovative telescopic auger designed to prevent segregation in asphalt mats by extending the auger on-the-fly, eliminating the need for manual labor and improving mix consistency during paving projects with varying screed widths.

The 2025 World of Asphalt/AGG1 Aggregates Academy & Expo, held March 25-27 in St. Louis, will feature over 400 exhibitors, 60 education sessions, and numerous networking opportunities, with industry leaders showcasing the latest innovations in asphalt production, paving, and aggregate technologies.

Bill Stanley shares his insights on best practices for managing equipment breakdowns in asphalt paving, including investing in dependable equipment, performing regular maintenance, keeping spare parts on hand, having a backup plan, knowing when to turn down a job, and learning from past mistakes to avoid costly disruptions.

Winter maintenance is crucial for spring startup, and without clear communication from operators, mechanics won’t know what repairs are needed—leading to inefficiencies, safety risks, and lower-quality paving results.

January’s product gallery highlights advancements in the industrial hydraulic equipment market, emphasizing its projected growth to $40.6 billion by 2031 driven by sustainability, IoT integration, and energy-efficient innovations across industries.

Maintaining and cleaning the paver regularly—especially at the end of each shift—ensures smooth performance, prevents material buildup, and helps achieve top-quality paving results throughout the season.

As part of its national tour, the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) visited Takeuchi-US in Moore, South Carolina, on August 27, 2024, where Congressman William Timmons acknowledged the importance of local manufacturing and celebrated the production of the company’s 10,000th compact track loader, highlighting AEM’s commitment to advocating for policies that support the equipment manufacturing industry and strengthen the economy.
