“Little Brother” Packs a Mighty Punch

Constant innovation and continuous enhancements are what drives successful products. This also holds true for construction machinery such as the reversible soil compactor CR 6 made by Weber MT. This machine scores high marks with its improved operating characteristics and supreme ease of use. Delivering a centrifugal force of 55 kN at an operating weight of 412 kg, this soil compactor ranks among the most powerful machines in its class.

The CR 6 bears a striking resemblance to the larger CR 7. Weber MT revisited the functionality and performance characteristics of both machines and gave their design a complete overhaul. Its reliable Hatz diesel engine gives it ample power. The engine is encased and protected all around. This reliably keeps out dirt and dust and protects the engine against damage. To increase operational safety, the accelerator cable and the hydraulic shift cables have been placed inside the guide bar.

The maintenance cover in the front provides unobstructed access to the maintenance items. In addition, the centrifugal clutch, which tensions the V-belt automatically, reduces the necessary amount of maintenance even further. The low hand-arm vibrations define the high degree of user comfort just as much as the standard E-start and the ergonomically adjustable guide bar, which can be easily positioned to the height of the operator.

Better still, apart from performing admirably during such classic applications as road building, civil engineering and vibrating paving stones, the CR 6 is equally well-suited for compacting in the trenches. Boasting a low overall height, the machine is highly versatile as its working width can be adjusted to 46, 59 and 74 cm by means of attachable extensions.

Model version CR 6 CCD of this new compactor is available with the tried-and-tested COMPATROL^® compaction control system. It indicates to the user to which degree the soil has been compacted. Weak spots in the soil can, thus, be detected and compensated. The final result is consistent and uniform compaction. As it eliminates the nuisance of unnecessary passes by up to 25%, this machine helps you save time and money.
