Flexible plans and options for customer‑managed (Convenience plan), dealer‑managed (Performance plan), or protection‑focused (Confidence) coverage.. With Toromont Fast Track, exclusive to Cat® CVAs, you get next‑day parts, two‑day repairs, and Cat® Credits if delays occur—keeping downtime off your schedule.
Cat® C15 Engine
The C15 engine provides a gross power (SAE J1995) of 407 kW (546 hp). The combination of large displacement and high torque allow the RM500B to propel through the toughest materials. The engine meets US EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
Engine Technology
Every Tier 4 Final / Stage V Cat engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components. Applying proven technologies systematically lets us meet our customer's high expectations for productivity, fuel efficiency, reliability and service life.
Reversible Cooling Fan
The cooling fan is reversible and automatically performs periodic cycles in reverse to clean the heat exchanger by expelling accumulated dust. This allows the system to cool more efficiently, ensuring optimal engine performance.
Four Propel Pumps, Four Drive Motors
Four propel pumps provide separate, dedicated flow to all four drive motors. Provides superior tractive effort in soft underfoot conditions.
Load Sensing System
Load sensing system controlled by the ECM, matches propel speed to load on the engine.
Two Speed Ranges
Two speed ranges allow the machine to operate at either maximum torque to propel the machine through the toughest conditions, or a faster speed for moving around the job site.
Infinitely Variable Machine Speeds
Infinitely variable machine speeds determined by the propel lever and speed control buttons on the keypad.
Iso-mounted Cab is Pressurized
Iso-mounted cab reduces vibration and is pressurized to maximize comfort by keeping noise, dust and the elements out.
Items Included With Cab
The following features further enhance operator comfort: 1) Heating/air conditioning controls. 2) Left and right access doors. 3) Rotating heated cloth seat with integrated controls. 4) Sound absorbing headliner. 5) Tinted glass. 6) Windshield wipers. 7) Cushioned floor mat. 8) Dual front mounted speakers. 9) Radio-ready mount. 10) Heavy-duty isolation mounts.
Control Console
The control console is integrated with the operator's seat and offers fingertip access to controls regardless of how the seat is positioned. An integrated touchscreen LCD display provides machine operational data, diagnostics and can alert the operator to potential problems. A backlit keypad provides well-defined controls even in poor light conditions. The propel lever houses convenient rotor control buttons so the operator can focus on work rather than look for the proper button to push.
Side Access Doors
Side access doors enable quick and simple replacement of cutting tools on rotor ends.
Hydraulically Operated Front Door
Hydraulically operated front door allows the operator to control the opening of the front door from the operator's station.
Dual Hydraulic Cylinders
Dual hydraulic cylinders offer increased lifting force and precise control of the front door.
Front Door Raises Parallel
The front door raises parallel to the cutting surface to prevent the door from plowing material in harsh soil stabilization conditions.
Forward or Reverse Operation
Forward or reverse operation increases machine versatility in soil stabilization.
Visual Site Gauge
Visual site gauge on rotor hood displays door position and allows the operator to precisely control the opening of the front door.
Universal 16 Rotor
The Universal 16 rotor is designed to produce maximum breakout force in deep asphalt cuts and on existing soil cement. It also performs well in soil stabilization applications.
Universal 18 Rotor
The Universal 18 rotor is designed to provide maximum mixing depth and has lower breakout force compared to the Universal 16 rotor. This rotor meets European 45 cm mixing depth requirements while providing the highest level of material pulverization and gradation. Secondary application of light asphalt reclamation, where the asphalt layer is thin and deteriorated.
Combination Rotor
The Combination rotor is designed for deep-cut soil mixing where pulverization and gradation is of lesser importance and higher working speeds are more important. It performs well in cohesive soils and has a secondary application of surface mining for non-engineered substances such as coal, shale, or limestone.
Soil Rotor
The Soil rotor is an ideal choice for mixing additives with semi cohesive or granular materials where soil gradation is critical. It can also handle light reclamation applications where the asphalt layer is thin and deteriorated.
Hydraulic Rotor Hood Tilt
Hydraulic rotor hood tilt rotates hood forward for convenient access to rotor for inspection and tool maintenance.
Hinged Service Doors
Hinged service doors open wide on sides of engine, rotor hood and on top deck for access to power train and rotor drive components.
Self-lubricating Rotor Drive Chains
Self-lubricating rotor drive chains in sealed chain cases partially filled with oil.
Electronic Control Module (ECM)
Electronic Control Module (ECM) monitors machine systems and provides self-diagnostics for operator or service personnel.
Three warning levels alert operator to conditions on the machine that require attention. Encourages repair before major failure.
Level One - a flashing gauge indicator and a flashing alert indicator light.
Level Two - level one warning plus the warning action lamp flashing.
Level Three - level two warning plus the warning action horn sounds.
Visual Indicators
Visual indicators allow easy check of engine coolant, hydraulic oil level, rotor bearing reservoir and air restriction indicator.
Quick-connect Hydraulic Test Ports
Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnostics.
Ecology Drains
Ecology drains provide an environmental method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, engine oil pan, hydraulic and fuel tank.
S•O•S(SM) Ports
S•O•S ports allow for simple fluid collection of engine oil, engine coolant and hydraulic oil.
Secure Hose Routing
Secure hose routing with polyethylene routing blocks to reduce rubbing and increase service life.
Nylon Braided Wrap and All-weather Connectors
Nylon braided wrap and all-weather connectors ensure electrical system integrity. Electrical wiring is color-coded, numbered and labeled with component identifiers to simplify troubleshooting.
Maintenance-free Cat Batteries
Maintenance-free Cat batteries are mounted on the side of the machine and are accessible from ground level. Cat batteries are specifically designed for maximum cranking power and protection against vibration.
Machine is Product Link Wire-ready
Machine is Product Link wire-ready. The Cat Product Link System (PLS) ensures maximum uptime and minimum repair costs by simplifying tracking of equipment fleets. Provides automatic machine location and hour updates. Can be obtained through your local Cat dealer.
Hydraulically Adjustable Front Door
Hydraulically adjustable front door allows more precise sizing control when operating in the reverse direction.
Hydraulically Adjustable Rear Door
Hydraulically adjustable rear door for optimum control of gradation and material uniformity.
Large Heavy-duty Breaker Bars
Large heavy-duty breaker bars help achieve uniform sizing.
Bi-directional Mixing
Bi-directional mixing capability increases machine efficiency.
Mid-machine Rotor
Mid-machine rotor uses total machine weight to help keep rotor steady in the cut for uniform depth control.
Mixing Chamber
Mixing chamber allows the rotor to move independently so that the capacity of the chamber actually increases in deeper cuts to allow better material mixing.
Heavy-duty Shear Disc or Optional Torque Limiter
Heavy-duty shear disc or optional torque limiter protects rotor drive components from torsional stress and shocks loads.
High Capacity
High capacity rotor driveshafts and maintenance-free universal joints.
