Cat®Cold Planers

High speed drum and conical bits quickly remove asphalt and concrete prior to resurfacing.

Caterpillar®Cold Planers are designed
for small to medium size paving jobs in
residential and commercial applications.
Cold planers are used to economically
restore asphalt and concrete paved
surfaces to a specified grade or level.
They are ideal for milling bumps or
imperfections in expanded pavements,
removing cracked or deteriorated
pavement, removing traffic lane stripes
and working on jobs where weight
restrictions limit the use of dedicated
planers.

Caterpillar offers five models of cold
planers. The PC203 and PC204 operate
efficiently on the standard flow
hydraulics of Cat Skid Steer and Multi
Terrain Loaders and are best suited for
utility planning applications. The PC205,
PC206 and PC210 are designed
specifically for the high flow auxiliary
hydraulic circuit and horsepower
capabilities of the Caterpillar high flow
machine models. High flow planers are
more productive than standard flow
models due to the greater power
available to the drum making them
ideal for production planning
applications.

Performance and Versatility

Caterpillar Cold Planers deliver
maximum performance and provide
smooth, efficient operation when coupled
to Cat Skid Steer and Multi Terrain
Loaders. Designed and built to strict
Caterpillar standards, they carry with
them the proven Caterpillar reputation for
performance, versatility and reliability.

Ease of Operation

Caterpillar Cold Planers are designed
with the operator in mind. The coupler
interface is matched to the machine’s
mechanical and hydraulic quick coupler
systems for fast, secure work tool
changes. Hydraulic hose routing, hose
length and quick disconnects have been
optimized to ensure proper routing and
fit-up. Steps are conveniently located
to facilitate operator entry and exit.
Operation of Cat Cold Planers is easy
with Caterpillar joystick controls...
virtually everything is at your fingertips.

Features

■

Two standard flow models and drum
widths: PC203 – 350 mm (14 in) and
PC204 – 450 mm (18 in).

■

Three high flow models and drum
widths: PC205 – 450 mm (18 in),

PC206 – 600 mm (24 in) and
PC210 – 1000 mm (40 in).

■

Self-leveling design automatically
levels itself when placed on the
ground for consistent depth control
without operator adjustments, and
excellent spoil retention. Spoil cleanup
is quick and easy since spoil is
contained inside the planing path.

■

Two wear resistant skid plates

remain parallel to the ground for
optimum stability.

■

Hydraulic sideshift permits close
planing to curbs, walls and other
obstructions. A wide, heavy-duty
frame allows planing outside the
machine wheel width.

■

Independent left/right depth control

allows maximum drum depths to be
adjusted independently on each skid
from 5-8 in (130-200 mm) for greater
consistency of cuts on side-by-side
passes, inclines, and flush planing
around manhole covers and curbs.
Depth gauges are easy to view from
the cab. Independent depth control is
mechanical on standard flow planers
and hydraulic on high flow planers.
