A worldwide network of Cat dealers, in tune with the special high production needs of pipeliners, supports these durable and dependable machines. Cat Pipelayers are purpose-built to meet the unique demands of pipeline customers. And like every Cat machine, pipelayers are designed for long life, serviceability and rebuild capability to help keep owning and operating costs low. [. . . ] The cab is designed to work with the Rollover Protective Structure (ROPS), and is fully insulated with a heater. Glass area is maximized for excellent sight lines around the machine and to the trench to aid productivity and enhance job site safety. The cab includes eight additional halogen lights: three facing forward, two to the rear, two to the boom side and one to the winch side. Wipers provide a clearer view during inclement weather. Arctic Arrangement An arctic arrangement equips the pipelayer for optimal performance in arctic conditions. The Arctic Cab has many of the same operator comfort features as the enclosed cab, but adds dual pane windows for cold weather environments. The arrangement also incorporates fluids, final drive and roller seals, and batteries designed to perform in severe cold weather environments. 6 Engine and Power Train Powerful Efficiency Engine The Cat C15 engine with ACERTTM Technology provides the large displacement and high torque rise for the power needed on challenging jobs. Matched to the high-efficiency torque divider and electronically controlled power shift transmission, the C15 ACERT engine will provide years of dependable service. Constant Net Horsepower Constant net horsepower maintains high standards of performance and response. The engine automatically adjusts to maintain power output and conversely lowers output when demands are low. This provides significant fuel savings in cooler climates and during long engine idle times typical of pipeline applications. Planetary Power Shift Transmission The planetary power shift transmission offers smooth shifting and quick speed and directional changes for maximum productivity. With three speeds forward and three speeds reverse, the transmission utilizes large diameter, high capacity, oil-cooled clutches for long life. An oil-to-water cooler facilitates maximum cooling capacity, and forced oil flow lubricates and cools clutch packs for long life. Electronic Clutch Pressure Control The Finger Tip Control (FTC) system has an additional drive train feature for added performance, Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC). This feature provides smoother shifting by modulating individual clutches. ECPC also provides the auto-shift and auto-kickdown feature. Steering Clutch and Brake Clutches are fade resistant and adjustment free. The multi-disc, oil-cooled steering clutches are hydraulically applied and electronically controlled. The brakes are applied by springs and hydraulically released for safe and reliable braking performance. 7 Structure Underlying Strength The Pipelayer main frame is engineered to handle the most demanding applications. The mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces, and full box section frame rails are designed to keep components rigidly aligned. Heavy steel castings add strength to the main case, center saddle and front cross member for outstanding durability. Top and bottom rails are continuous rolled sections, with no machining or welding, to provide superior mainframe durability. The final drives are elevated well above the ground level work area to protect them from impact loads, abrasion and contaminants. Caterpillar uses robotic welding techniques in the assembly of the case and frames.
