Komatsu hydraulic excavators

The Utility Marketing Division of Komatsu America Corp. recently introduced the new PC18MR-2 and PC20MR-2 hydraulic excavators to its MR-2 series of compact excavators. For contractors working in a variety of construction, utility and landscaping applications, the compact size of the PC18MR-2 and PC20MR-2 is advantageous.

The MR-2 series excavators have increased strength, wider working ranges and high stability to enhance overall operating performance.

The digging height and loading height of the MR-2 series are greater than that of the MR-1 series. Both new excavators are equipped with automatic two-speed travel that automatically shifts from high speed to low speed based on the load.

Wirtgen stabilizer/reclaimer

The new Wirtgen WR 2000 is a 400 hp-class stabilizer/reclaimer that gives roadbuilders a highperformance alternative to Wirtgen's larger, industry-standard, 670-hp WR 2500 S.

This machine cuts grades or asphalt roadways up to 20-in. deep at a 79-in. cutting width and has an operating weight of 48,060 lbs.

The WR 2000 stabilizes with both emulsion and foamed asphalt and can be equipped with a high-capacity water pump for dry soil conditions or cement or lime stabilization projects. These systems have been used on the WR 2500/WR 2500S for years. The WR 2000 incorporates 40-percent parts in common with its "big brother."

The new 6-cylinder OM 457 LA Mercedes engine meets EPA Tier II regulations, with 400 continuous horsepower. Its cutter features a V-belt drive with an automatic belt tensioner with four speeds (remove comma) from 112 to 181 rpm.
