W 120 R cold milling Wirtgen is used to remove asphalt and concrete surfaces quickly and efficiently. In doing so, they create a level foundation with the specified width and depth that is required for paving new surface layers of uniform thickness. This is important, because the condition of the milled surface has a major impact on the quality of the new surface layers, their performance characteristics, and on the cost-effective completion of further construction work. When pavements re milled in layers, the milled material can be separated and selectively recovered according to mix type.
In cold milling, a distinction is made between maintenance (minor construction measures to preserve the structural integrity of the surface), repair (major construction measures to preserve the structural integrity of the surface and improve its properties), and rehabilitation (complete restoration).
As the market leader in the field of cold milling machines, WIRTGEN has been the key driver of numerous innovations and pioneering technologies. Today WIRTGEN offers by far the most comprehensive product range in the industry.
- Milled material is generally reused as a valuable recyclable construction material.

Detailed view of the generation X2 HT22 Plus round shaft pick.
When milling, it’s important to remove the layers of asphalt at the specified depth. WIRTGEN’s intuitive LEVEL PRO/ LEVEL PRO PLUS /LEVEL PRO ACTIVE leveling technology can be relied on to precisely maintain the specified milling depth. The high-tech leveling system developed in-house at WIRTGEN with software specially programmed for cold milling machines is fully integrated into the control system of the entire machine. LEVEL PRO/LEVEL PRO PLUS / LEVEL PRO ACTIVE constantly compares the current milling depth with the preset target value.
If the system detects deviations, they are dynamically and proportionally corrected. The actual milling depth is determined via optical or mechanical sensors that continuously scan a reference surface.
The WIRTGEN leveling system can not only be operated with a wide variety of sensors, but can also be extended as required for example with the multiplex system, laser leveling, or thanks to a preinstalled interface, with 3D leveling.
- WIRTGEN’s leveling technology adjusts height, depth, and pitch for extremely accurate results and reduces the operator’s workload.
- LEVEL PRO/ LEVEL PRO PLUS/ LEVEL PRO ACTIVE stands for perfect leveling quality at high working speeds.
