The development of pavement machinery is closely related to the development of new technologies, new techniques, and new materials for pavement construction. The two complement each other and are constantly developing.
From the 1960s to the 1970s, the main characteristic of the development of foreign road machinery was large-scale. By the early 1980s, various road machinery had formed a series of products with complete specifications. After that, although new models appeared from time to time. But the main development feature is the continuous improvement and enhancement of the partial components of the existing machinery. It is mainly manifested in the extensive use of hydraulic transmission technology and electronic technology to realize the integration of mechatronics and hydraulics, improve the degree of automation control, improve mechanical operation performance and comfort, improve construction quality, and reduce environmental pollution.
