The site navigation utilizes arrow, enter, escape, and space bar key commands. Left and right arrows move across top level links and expand / close menus in sub levels. Up and Down arrows will open main level menus and toggle through sub tier links. Enter and space open menus and escape closes them as well. Tab will move on to the next part of the site rather than go through menu items.
The RP-250 is a heavy-duty 10’ (3m) paver that combines the advantages of rubber tires with the tractive effort of a tracked paver.
The RP-250 is a wheeled paver that has the traction and floatation of a tracked paver. It is made for rugged work. An innovative frame raising mechanism lets the operator control and modify the frame position as needed to increase the tractive effort to the rear wheels, which provides more stability. Large diamond tread tires enable increased surface contact, traction, and flotation. Augmented Steering gives operators precise control, especially in turning.
Applications
Highway Paving
Highway class paving requires pavers that are strong, powerful, and productive. Highway class paving can range from one lane to multi-lane projects. These applications require pavers with large hoppers, wide paving widths, and a broad scope of screed compatibility.
Commercial paving applications need machinery that can scale down the highway paver size without scaling down the power, functionality, performance, or efficacy. These pavers are able to pave hard-to-reach areas such as parking lots, traffic circles, and roundabouts to yield a quality mat without sacrificing productivity.

Features
Frame Raising Mechanism
Unique adjustable suspension provides for uniform wheel loading in a soft or irregular base
This adaptable suspension can be used to increase the tractive effort to the rear wheels, which provides more stability on a soft base
Durable Paver Frame
All Astec pavers begin with a solid, one-piece durable steel frame completely fabricated, welded, and assembled by Astec
A 2-inch think (5 cm) front bumper plate connects two thick continuous side sheets running the entire length of the frame.
American-made custom craftsmanship yields a machine that is strong and durable
Heavy Duty Delta Plate
Defines the front wall of the material tunnel, preventing mix from rolling forward under the paver
Removes mix from the conveyors, providing better conveyor efficiency
Ideal Sight Lines
Paver operator seats hydraulically swing out past the side of the machine
360° view includes increased visibility down the side of the paver
Operator station provides direct visibility to the head of material
Operator has a clear, unobstructed view into the front hopper
Flow Gates
Give precise control over the head of material
Allow material to be distributed properly without burying the auger and flooding the middle
Flow gate positions are displayed on every control box screen
Simple to operate
Yield a superior quality mat
Swing Out Operator Stations
Seats are adjustable and include suspension for ultimate comfort and safety
Operator stations hydraulically swing out
Seats move beyond the sides of the machine to give the operator a clear view down the sides of the paver
Sturdy Conveyors
Hinged, dual apron plates on the conveyors
Facilitate easy and convenient clean out at the end of the day
Head and tail plates made of chromium carbide-clad plate, to stand up to the abrasiveness of aggregates
Retractable Wash Down Hoses
Retractable
Ability to pair with a diesel or environmental tank
Simplified storage and maintenance
Hydraulic Pressure Sensors
Continuously monitor hydraulic pressure
Pressures are clearly displayed on the operator’s display
Fume Extraction System
Two fans draw fumes away from the crew
Fumes and exhaust are directed through vents at the front of the engine hood
This large amount of air moving over the hopper keeps the platform fume-free and cool
Guardian Telematics
Monitors machines in real time through a wireless signal
Industry’s only live 2-way telematics system
Includes software, on-machine viewing screens, and wireless signal boosters to send and receive data in real time
Intuitive Live Schematics™ let owners and technicians view electrical circuits in a simple, efficient layout with real time status of switches, valves, and settings
