The new WR 2400 soil stabilizer and reclaimer from Wirtgen Group is a compact, versatile machine based on the WR 2000 platform, and fills a gap in the Wirtgen stabilizer/reclaimer lineup.

The WR 2400 provides a working width of 94.5 inches and is capable of milling and recycling to a depth of up to 20 inches, placing it between the 79-inch WR 2000 introduced in 2004, and the 96-inch WR 2500 S and 120-inch WR 3000 S.

When used for soil stabilization, the WR 2400 works its way even through the most difficult terrain, due to its all-wheel drive and high reserve capacity. For cold recycling, the WR 2400 restores damaged road pavements to stable layers of high bearing capacity by mixing in liquid or powdered binding agents.

With its Tier III diesel engine rating of 563 hp, the WR 2400 possesses high reserve capacities for the treatment of difficult soils. The machine has all-wheel drive and features a high ground clearance due to its well-proven, vertical lifting column design. This enables the WR 2400 to make headway even in very rough terrain and helps prevent the machine from getting stuck.

The WR 2400 also features four different steering modes allowing excellent maneuverability. The all-wheel steering system with its four modes enables both the maneuvering of tight curve radii, as well as the parallel approach of curbs or other obstacles.
