Virnig Skid Steer Cold Planer

The Virnig PLR Series Cold Planer is a high-flow attachment designed to mill and remove asphalt or concrete for road repair, pavement removal, trenching, patching, resurfacing, and surface preparation. Its floating, self-leveling design helps the planer follow surface contours for consistent milling passes.

The Virnig PLR Series is available in 18-inch, 24-inch, 30-inch, 40-inch, and 48-inch cutting widths, with models designated PLR18, PLR24, PLR30, PLR40, and PLR48. Choosing the width depends on the milling area, available working space, and the hydraulic and operating capabilities of the carrier machine.

The PLR Series is designed for high-flow skid steers and track loaders, with a maximum hydraulic flow of 50 GPM. Minimum recommended flow varies by model and loader pressure: for example, the PLR18 requires 26 GPM, while larger models require higher minimum flow at certain pressure levels. Operators should match the specific planer model to their machine's hydraulic flow and operating pressure.

All PLR Series models have a maximum cutting depth of 6 inches. The planer also incorporates adjustable tilt and side-shift functionality to help position the cutting drum accurately and maintain controlled milling passes across different surfaces.

The PLR Series includes a self-leveling floating design, side-shift travel of up to 23.5 inches to the right and 2.5 inches to the left, adjustable tilt, replaceable AR400 skid shoes with depth indicators, and replaceable carbide picks. Its five-function control system allows operators to manage tilt, side shift, and the side plates for greater control during milling operations.

Yes. The PLR Series comes with asphalt picks as standard, while optional concrete picks are available for concrete milling applications. An optional 55-gallon internal water tank is also available to help minimize dust during operation; the system includes a water spray system. Customers should select the appropriate picks and water configuration according to the intended milling application.
