CAT COLD PLANER PERFORMANCE BENEFITIS

Machines Engineered For Power And Precision

Successful paving jobs start with smooth, precise milling by a dependable cold planers - stripping away deteriorated layers and giving the asphalt a solid bonding surface. Cat cold planers are engineered and built with the following efficient and performance benefits:

  • Accurate Depth Control: Laser and GPS guidance automatically maintain precise cutting depths across varying terrain, keeping the milled surface within specified tolerances.

  • Consistent Material Removal: Automated load sensing monitors cutting resistance and adjusts rotor speed to prevent bogging down, producing uniform material gradation regardless of pavement hardness.

  • Enhanced Operator Visibility: Floor-to-ceiling windows and strategically placed cameras eliminate blind spots around the cab, providing operators with full visibility of the work area.

  • Efficent Rotor Design: Cat utilizes the System-K rotor design with fastener-free toolholder technology, which simplifies tooth replacement. Crews can swap worn cutting tools quickly.

  • Lower Operating Costs: Extended service intervals, ground-level maintenance access and reduced shop time result in lower operating costs.

  • Material Recycling Capability: The milling process creates reclaimed asphalt pavement that contractors reuse in new road construction, reducing costs for new materials and eliminating disposal fees.

  • Precise Engineering: Cat cold planers are built with a state-of-the-art rotating drum fitted with carbide cutting teeth. These teeth grind through asphalt or concrete, while a conveyor system collects.

  • Power Options: Smaller cold planers with wheels for high mobility in compact areas deliver between 300 and 400 horsepower, while half-lane models with tracks or wheels outputs 600 - 800+ horsepower.
