Road Wideners
ONE TOUCH HANDLING.
When it comes to placing the right amount of material at the correct grade and slope in one pass, whether on a shoulder or elsewhere, the best equipment for the job is a Weiler road widener.
MATERIAL DELIVERY.
A 3.5 yd3 (2.6 m3) hopper means fewer truck exchanges during the workday. The 30” (762 mm) wide belt and 800 fpm (242 mpm) belt speed provides quick placement of materials to either side of the machine.The hydraulically adjustable dump hopper accommodates varying trucks.
PRECISE STRIKE-OFF.
25” (635 mm) tall strike-off tools widen from 1’ (.3 m) to 14’ (4.2 m) and are capable of placing material up to 12” (305 mm) above and below grade. Multiple tool sizes plus hydraulically adjustable tools ensure precise strike-off and can be set to exact grade and slope specifications.
RELIABLE POWERTRAIN.
The W730 has the power to push. A Cat® C4.4 Tier 4F/StageV engine with 174 hp (129 kW) powers the 4-wheel drive, 4-wheel steer
widener. Hydrostatic drive with 2-speed motor and 2-speed gearbox delivers 350 fpm (106 mpm) working speed and 12 mph (19 km/hr) transport speed.
VISIBILITY AND CONTROL.
All controls are located on a single panel within easy reach of the operator. Sliding control console enhances operator ease of use, enabling both left and right side access to all machine controls. The operator is located back from the dump hopper and toward the outer edge of the machine for increased visibility.
FAST SERVICE.
Self cleaning pulleys minimize material build-up and large doors enable easy access to engine and machine components. Built-in tool storage locations provide home spots for all components needed on the job. Caterpillar dealer service and support keep your machine up and running with limited down time.
