The CR 5 soil compactor

Oct. 6, 2009 – The new version of the CR 5 reversible soil compactor has been designed for optimum compaction of almost all materials encountered, such as sand, gravel and crushed aggregates. It is also ideally suited for the compaction of interlocking paving stones. Thanks to a new setting of the machine parameters, the soil compactor features better operating characteristics, superior running qualities and an improved climbing ability. Additionally, the compaction force has been increased considerably. Due to variable working width, the new soil compactor offers flexible and universal application possibilities.

The CR 5 reversible soil compactor from Weber MT ensures comfortable and economical work.

For the user, the CR 5 provides state-of-the-art operating comfort thanks to the low-vibration guide-bar. Hand/arm vibrations have been reduced considerably for comfortable and fatigue-free work. The guide-bar is adjustable in height and can thus be adapted to any operator’s height.

Less noise is produced by a special low-noise version of the Hatz 1B30 Diesel engine.  The reversible starter, flywheel and exhaust muffler have all been modified, leading to a noise level approximately 3 dB(A) below that of the standard engine. The new CR 5 with infinitely variable shift system for forward and reverse travel features an additional cyclone pre-filter for air cleaning – increasing the durability of the engine.

The version with electric starter can be started manually as well, should the electric starter ever fail. An operating hour meter is also part of the standard equipment.

The long-life and rugged Weber MT quality makes the CR 5 a very safe, efficient and reliable machine. The engine guard and the rugged protection frame protect the engine from damage. The self-adjusting centrifugal clutch facilitates maintenance and eliminates the need to periodically retighten the V-belt. A large, folding, lifting eye is provided to load the CR 5 quickly, safely and easily by a crane or fork-lift truck.

The standard version of the CR 5 (618 lbs) is equipped with a Hatz Diesel engine with reversible starter. Additionally, versions CR 5 E (656 lbs) with electric start and CR 5 Hd (600 lbs) with Honda gasoline engine are available. All three models deliver an output of 10,150 lbs. The working width of 22 inches can be easily extended to 28 inches by means of extension plates.
