W35Ri compact milling machine

2395 Wirtgen is introducing a new compact milling machine in the shape of its novel W35Ri model.

This machine is designed to mill slows 350mm wide and Michaela Adams of the firm’s marketing department said: “We are the only manufacturer with a machine this size.”

Compact and manoeuvrable, the machine can be operated in a wide range of duties onsite and even inside buildings, as its 1m width allows it to pass through doorways.

The machine can be operated either from the platform mounted on the unit or remotely. A key feature is that it is also features a sophisticated levelling and drive control system, similar to the concept developed for the larger milling machines in the range. Adams added, “It makes it easier to drive.”

Power comes from a Deutz diesel rated at 45kW and Adams said, “It’s equipped with a Tier 4 Final engine and you can fit it with a diesel particulate filter as well for working inside.” The 4.55tonne machine can mill to a depth of 110mm and cuts a 350mm wide slot as standard, although it can also be fitted with a 500mm wide drum if required.Wirtgen is introducing a new compact milling machine in the shape of its novel W35Ri model.
