Cold Milling Machine W 2000

Always in top shape – high-performance
cold milling machine W 2000

Its versatility makes this

large milling machine so
efficient
For professional contractors
requiring a versatile road milling
machine with high performance
reserves, the tried and tested
W 2000 paves the way to an
all-round ­success. This multi-
purpose machine in the range of
­Wirtgen large milling machines of
the 2-m class achieves e ­ xcellent
results in particular in the removal
of pavement surfaces on a large
scale – the state-of-the-art, robust
diesel engine provides sufficient
power regardless of the job at
hand.

In addition, the innovative

FCS Light ensures that even
micro-fine milling jobs are
completed to the highest quality
standards. At the end of the day,
it is the wide range of applications
that makes the compact W 2000
such an economically efficient
machine. The W 2000 front loader proves to be a
master of its craft on all kinds of milling
sites.

Reliable machine technology

and a new, appealing design.
Working width of 2.20 m
as an option

The Wirtgen Flexible Cutter

System Light (FCS Light)
greatly enlarges the range of
applications of the W 2000.

The working width can option-

ally be extended to 2.20 m to
enable even more applications
and make the machine even
more efficient.

The LEVEL PRO automatic lev-

elling system guarantees accu-
rate, high-quality milling results.

The experience and expertise

gained in the manufacture of
over a thousand W 2000 ma-
chines and in countless jobs
have been utilized to the benefit
of this highly ­mature machine.

Compact 2-m milling machine with
high performance reserves

At home on construc-
tion sites big and small

Its milling width of 2 m and high

engine power enable the W 2000
to mill large areas economically
at maximum milling depths of up
to 320 mm. Our large milling ma-
chine stands up to any compar-
ison – regardless of whether the
job demands the milling of indi-
vidual pavement layers or the re-
moval of entire road pavements.
However its high milling perfor-
mance and compact design also
ensure swift job completion on
small or medium-sized milling
sites, such as the rehabilitation of
an inner-city road pavement.

Moreover the W 2000 is eminent-

ly suitable for the low-cost reha-
bilitation of road surfaces by fine
milling. The performance diagram
of the W 2000 can be used to
roughly estimate the machine’s
theoretical milling performance.

LEVEL PRO guarantees top-class
milling results

Maximum ease
of levelling

Wirtgen has developed a highly

accurate, proprietary levelling sys-
tem including a software that has
been designed specifically for cold
milling machines: LEVEL PRO. The
overall system includes an operat-
ing panel, a controller unit and sev-
eral sensors. The graphics-enabled
LEVEL PRO screen shows key pa-
rameters in a clearly legible fashion.

For example, target and actual

values for the left and right milling
depth and slope parameters are
clearly and unambiguously shown
on the displays. In addition, the
memory feature is very useful to
program, store and invoke target
values.

in the operator’s direct field of view.

Flexible, high-performance loading
of milled material

The conveyor keeps up

with any milling speed

Fast, efficient transport of the

milled material off the job site
makes a significant contribution
to ­ensure a smooth progress of
the milling operation. The loading
system of the W 2000 effortlessly
copes with transport requirements
even when fully utilizing its
enormous milling capacity: the
conveyor’s wide slewing angles
enable one truck to wait on the side
while another, driving alongside the
machine, is still being loaded.

The great discharge height and

variable belt speed enable large
trucks to be loaded to full capacity.

a good view of the discharge

Ample space for maintenance provided
by the wide-open ­engine cowling.
In addition, lubrication and
service points have been grouped
together intelligently in just a few
places of the machine, and visual
inspections are performed quickly
from the operator’s platform or
from the ground. A ­ mple storage
space is available for tools, wearing
parts or cutting tools. The overall
operational availability of the
W 2000 is increased significantly
on account of this intelligent
