Caterpillar Cold Planers for Cat Skid Steer Loaders are designed for small paving jobs in residential and commercial applications. Cold planers are primarily used to economically restore asphalt and concrete surfaces to a specified grade or level. Cold planers are ideal for milling bumps or imperfections in expanded pavements prior to resurfacing, removing cracked or deteriorated pavement, removing traffic lane stripes, and jobs where weight restrictions limit the use of dedicated planers.
- Two standard flow cold planers are available: the PC3 – 12 inch (305 mm) maximum drum width and the PC4 – 16 inch (406 mm) maximum drum width. Standard flow planers are primarily used for “utility planing” and are productive to cutting depths up to 2 in. (51 mm) in asphalt and 0.38 in. (10 mm) in concrete.
- Two high flow cold planers are available: the PC6- 24 in. (610 mm) maximum drum width and the PC9- 32 in. (812 mm) maximum drum width. High flow planers are used for “high production planing” and are productive to depths greater than 3 in. (76 mm) in asphalt and up to 0.63 in. (16 mm) for concrete.
- The direct drive system on the PC3 and PC4 features a variable speed, unidirectional gerotor style hydraulic motor that delivers the right mix of cutting bit speed and drum torque
- The planetary drive system on the PC6 and PC9 features a variable speed, unidirectional, axial piston style hydraulic motor that mounts directly to a double reduction gearbox for optimal cutting bit speed and maximum drum torque for maximum milling performance. The planetary gearbox is mounted inside the planer drum, enabling the inertia generated by the drum to dampen load spikes for smoother cutting operation.
- Four pivoting skids on the cold planer chassis provide a stable platform when planing, reduce material pickup, limit ground pressure and enable smooth travel.
- Optimal drum bit pattern and standard all purpose conical bits provide maximum cutting performance and efficiency, while ensuring superior surface texture.
- Hydraulic side shift is standard for close planing flexibility to curbs and walls.
- Tilt and depth functions help ensure precision beveling and pavement removal. Tilt and depth on the PC3 and PC4 are manually adjustable, and on the PC6 and PC9 are hydraulically adjustable.
- Caterpillar XT-3 ES and medium pressure hose, couplings and o-ring face seals provide superior leak free performance and reliability. All exposed hoses are wrapped with nylon woven Cordura sleeving for added operator protection.
- Optional drum widths are available for the PC3 and PC4. Concrete bits are available for specialty planing jobs. Optional water sprinkler kit is available for dust control.
