High Performance and Operator Comfort Make the AP600D the Perfect Choice

The AP600D sets the standard in performance, operator comfort, ease of use, ride quality
and reliability.

C6.6 Engine with ACERT™ Technology

ACERT Technology works at the point
of combustion to optimize engine
performance. ACERT Technology
incorporates an electronic controller to
precisely deliver multiple injections of
fuel. These multiple injections are
combined with a refined air
management system in order to generate
fewer emissions and optimize fuel
combustion while meeting European
EU Stage IIIA engine emission
requirements. pg. 4

High Capacity Cooling System and
Ventilation System

The high-capacity top-mounted cooling
system performs efficiently in high
ambient temperatures. The variable
speed fan draws air across the engine
compartment and exhausts it toward the
hopper in order to provide a cooler
working environment for the crew.
Augers fumes extraction efficiently
keeps asphalt fumes away from screed
crew and operator. pg. 4

Dual Operator’s Station

The AP600D utilizes dual swing-out
operator’s station with sliding control
console. The stations can be rotated
into five different positions and the
sliding control console provides
operator comfort. The operator’s
stations can be positioned beyond the
machine frame for greater visibility to
the steering guide when matching a
joint or paving near curbs, where
precise paving control is required. pg. 5

Screed

The AP600D is available with the
AS4251C double width hydraulic power
extendible asphalt screed, available with
variable frequency tamper and vibrators
and with LPG or electric heating
system. The AS4251C lays material to
the desired width and depth while
providing a smooth finish with initial
compaction. pg. 8

Advisor Monitoring System

The LCD Advisor located on the sliding
control console provides an interactive
interface to assist the operator. The
system includes project planning
calculators, start-up checklists, engine
operating parameters and many other
features to assist the operator.

Versatility Defines the AP600D

The AP600D excels in a wide range of applications from routine commercial jobs to
demanding highway operations.

Undercarriage

The wheel undercarriage utilizes four,
front solid rubber steering tyres that are
mounted on pairs of oscillating bogies
for maximum ground contact and
smooth operation. The front wheel
assist and all-wheel assist options
increase mobility in tough operating
conditions. pg. 6

Maneuverability

Caterpillar asphalt pavers provide
maneuverability that is unmatched in
the industry. The AP600D utilizes three
steering modes including PAVE,
TRAVEL and MANEUVER. The
MANEUVER mode is unique to
Caterpillar. This mode provides a 1.4 m
turning radius that allows quick
maneuverability when moving to a new
starting position. pg. 6

Independent Material Handling System

The material handling system provides
precise mix delivery through the most
proven system in the industry. The
independent operation of the augers and
conveyors reduces component wear and
minimizes the potential for mix
segregation.

Reversible augers and conveyors assist
the crew by reducing handwork and
clean-up. The reversible auger feature
pulls asphalt back into the main screed
area when retracting the extenders while
the reversible conveyor feature pulls
asphalt back into the tunnels, resulting
in limited spillage. pg. 7

Generator and Auxiliary Power Panel

The optional high capacity generator
quietly powers the standard electric
screed heat system for fast heat-up and
uniform screed plate temperatures.
The optional auxiliary power panel
provides power for lighting and job site
work tools. pg. 8

Cat®C6.6 Engine with ACERT Technology

ACERT Technology manages combustion using a combination of air management,
precise fuel delivery and careful timing in order to lower emissions and meet European
EU Stage IIIA engine emissions requirements.

Cat C6.6 Engine with ACERT Technology. The C6.6 engine
provides a full-rated gross power (SAE J1995) of 129.5 kW
(176 hp) at 2200 rpm. Meets European EU Stage IIIA engine
emission requirements.

Turbocharged and Air-To-Air Aftercooling (ATAAC).
The turbocharged air-to-air aftercooling system provides high
horsepower with increased response time while keeping
exhaust temperatures low for long hours of continuous
operation. Air-to-air aftercooling keeps air intake temperatures
down, maximizing fuel efficiency and minimizing emissions.

Sound Reduction features. The C6.6 engine sound reduction
features include composite valve covers with a fully isolated
base, a steel oil pan and a cast iron front cover. A common rail
fuel system also provides control of sound and vibration
levels.

Service, Maintenance and Repair. Easier service, maintenance
and repair is accomplished by monitoring key functions and
logging critical indicators. Advanced electronic diagnostic
capabilities are possible using Cat Electronic Technician.

High Capacity Cooling System and Optional Ventilation System

The deck-mounted cooling system provides a cool environment by exhausting hot air toward
the hopper, away from operators and ground personnel. The ventilation system promotes a
significant reduction of asphalt fumes for operator and crew comfort.

High Ambient Temperature Cooling System. The standard,
high-capacity cooling system provides efficient operation in
high ambient temperatures. The system design provides quiet
operation that benefits the operator and the surrounding
environment.

Efficient Airflow design. The airflow design draws ambient air
across the engine compartment and through the coolers. This
design allows the exhaust air to exit toward the hopper in
order to provide a cooler engine compartment and cooler
operating environment.

Variable Speed Fan. The variable speed fan is electronically
controlled and hydraulically driven to provide on-demand
cooling. This on-demand operation reduces engine power
demand, lowers sound levels, and increases fuel efficiency.

Ventilation System. A suction system efficiently removes
asphalt fumes from the auger chamber area assuring the best
operating conditions and comfort for the crew. Asphalt fumes
extraction with hydraulically driven fan is combined with
engine exhaust into a single outlet stack.
