Built to Perform
- Integrated power train with differential steering and updated hydraulic system work together to provide power and improved machine maneuverability for any pipelayer application.
- Electro-hydraulics offer greater response and precise control to variable speed motors of the heavy duty winch for greater machine productivity.
- Counterweight profile improves lift capacity.
- Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks for best-in class turning even with a loaded boom, increasing maneuverability in tight locations.
- Improved machine center of gravity and lengthened track-roller frame with repositioned rear idler places more track on the ground, enhancing slope capability.
Because Uptime Counts
- Equipped with Product Link™ which enables remote monitoring, improving overall fleet management effectiveness.
- Full left-side engine serviceability, including fill tube, dipstick, air cleaner, fuel filters, oil filter and coolant level check allows for quick and efficient routine service.
- High speed oil change is standard and makes servicing even faster.
- Hydraulic and power train filters and fuel tank drain are located at rear of machine and are conveniently serviceable from ground level.
- Pressure taps are placed within hydraulic system to allow for quick monitoring.
- Major components like the engine, transmission, and final drives are modular for quicker removal during service, saving cost and downtime.
Designed for Operators
- Implement joystick places all pipelayer implement controls and functionality in one hand.
- Low-effort, ergonomically designed and positioned control handle allows simultaneous, precise positioning of load line, boom, and extendible counterweight.
- Dual brake pedal controls provide enhanced maneuverability and steering control.
- Planetary differential steering contributes to superior maneuverability in tight areas of operation as well as enhanced slope capability.
Work in Comfort
- Quieter, pressurized cab with heated/ventilated seat option improves operator comfort and productivity.
- Ergonomically designed seat is positioned for greater visibility to work area and convenient access to machine control lever, switches and pedals.
Built-In Safety Features
- Load Moment Indicator (LMI) is standard.
- Convenient steps, handles and guardrail provide safe access/egress.
- Enlarged roof top window with retractable shade, additional mirrors, and angled door improves visibility to the trench, boom and blocks.
- Standard operator presence detection system allows machine to idle when operator is not seated, but locks out power train to avoid unintentional movement.
- Rear vision camera is standard, and two additional cameras can be added as an option to further enhance visibility around the machine.
