The highly flexible compact milling machines combine the advantages of the small and large milling machine classes. The maneuverable front-loaders are easy to transport and are ideal for use on confined job sites. These powerful machines can mill off entire asphalt pavements cost-effectively. A wide range of different milling drums is available, greatly extending the possible range of applications so that the milling of individual layers and fine milling operations are also among the everyday tasks of these machines.
