An asphalt-layer (?). Accidentally squishes Kermit's bicycle between itself and a steamroller (he jumps clear in time).

That is indeed an asphalt paver. It is either a Barber-Greene or a Blaw-Knox. If the color is rendering correctly, I'd say a Blaw-Knox. Model, unknown. However, the next photo, which is a side view of the paver hopper,with the reflector...looks very orange. It may have been re-painted a bright color for safetly reasons. These things had a habit of getting hit by traffic. I need a better side view. I used to work for Barber-Greene.

I'd need to rewatch the film but I'm pretty certain this is the only really good view we get of it.

this looks like a Barber-Greene SB 140 !! rather than Blow-Know

notice the triangular shape above the bucket and also the 2 control panels who have different shape and perfectly match the ones in main pic

the triangle on the right side (left in pic) has a slight bump near the middle !!! so another vital clue which fits)

also the twin exaust position

more evidence here, if it's same paver it looks like it it was originally GREEN repainted which leaves absolutely no doubts

I'd say Barber-Greene for sure.
