Under its Kleeman brand, and part of the new range of crushers is the Mobirex MR 130 (i) Pro, which the company has highlighted as a world premiere.

Used as a primary and secondary crusher, it is one of nine mobile and crushing screening plants that the company is featuring at the trade show in Munich.

From Vögele, the company has added four new mini road pavers to its product offering, the Mini 500, Mini 500e, Mini 502 and Mini 502e.

Available in pave widths ranging from 0.25 to 1.80m, the machines are available as battery-electric or diesel-powered and come with a standard screed working width of 0.80m, which can be increased to 1.35m hydraulically.

The machines are not yet available commercially in Europe, but the company anticipates the diesel-powered models to be launched in the first half of 2023, with the electric versions following after.

Also featuring at Bauma is its range of compact milling machines, the W 100 Fi, W 120 Fi and W 130 Fi, which now come with technologies used in its range of F-series large milling machines.

Launched at the beginning of the year, the machines now come fitted with a comfort cabin for the first time, thanks to the technology already used in the F-series of large milling machines.

Described by Wirtgen as offering high performance, the machines come with the latest environmentally friendly engine technology which complies with EU Stage V/US Tier 4 Final exhaust emission standards.
