CREATED FOR IMPLEMENTATION

18 tons (40,000 lbs.) Load capacity with side boom.

Light transport width 3240 mm (128 inches).

More robust fuel system with improved filtration to better withstand poor fuel conditions (engines equivalent to Tier 3 / Stage IIIA).

The Cold Weather Package provides additional features for cabin comfort and more reliable engine start / operation in cold conditions.

OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

Transmission Hystat, faster steering response for superior maneuverability on the pipeline.

Select narrow or wide tracks to optimize for soil conditions at the work site.

Durability on rough terrain with heavy duty suspension.

The ergonomic right joystick conveniently places all the functions of the boom, hook and counterweight in one hand.

Comfortable air suspension cab with ergonomic controls and excellent visibility.

Improved heating / ventilation / air conditioning that circulates better around the operator through a carport.

TOP TIER SERVICE AND SUPPORT

The Cat global dealer network understands the areas in which pipeline operations require excellent support, even in remote areas.

A specially designed pipelayer gives you a single source of parts and service for all components.

Easy access to group service points and diagnostics.

Simplified cable replacement - no need to run through the hood.

Updated cooling pack provides greater air flow, reducing fan speed for greater efficiency.

Hydraulic fan automatically reduces fan speed in colder conditions, which helps save fuel.

Hydraulic reversing fan offers automatic or manual modes and changes direction to blow debris from radiator cores.

Equipped with Product Link ™, which allows for remote monitoring, increasing overall fleet management efficiency.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

Rear view camera with special display increases visibility for greater safety.

Load Control Indicator (LMI), supplied with the machine, for easy installation of a workload monitoring system at the work site.

The quick release feature is now common in other Cat pipe layer models for added ease of use.

Exit rear window is now common in the Cat pipe-laying line.

Factory-integrated Rollover Protection Design (ROPS) helps protect operators and the machine in the event of a rollover.
