Propel System
The hydrostatic propel system
combines smooth starts and stops with
plenty of torque. The “High Drive”
concept does not use any chains. The
drive motors, secondary brake and
hoses are protected within the machine
frame. An oscillating front and rear
suspension design reduces bridging
over soft spots regardless of terrain.

Operator’s Station
The PS-360C provides a spacious and
comfortable working environment with
controls, levers, switches and gauges
positioned to maximize productivity.
The low profile of the water tank and
the sloped engine hood provide good
visibility to the front and rear of the
machine.

Performance and reliability you can depend on.
The new PS-360C Pneumatic Compactor establishes
new standards for productivity and reliability
in the compaction industry. A durable
Cat engine, large ballast tank and the
world’s largest and most dedicated
dealer support system ensure the
PS-360C Pneumatic Compactor will
provide maximum utilization. The PS-360C
will achieve outstanding compaction results
regardless of the application with its proven suspension
design and flexible weight adjustment.

Ballasting
The ballast compartments are
positioned with a calculated balance of
wheel to weight ratio. Internal-frame
baffles help prevent surges when water
ballast is used.
Page 5
Ground Contact Pressures
Ground contact pressures are measured
across the width of the tires. Changing
the tire pressure or altering the ballast
capacity will allow the PS-360C to
meet specific job requirements.

Serviceability
The engine compartment offers easy
access to the powertrain components.
Routine maintenance points are
grouped together and easily accessible
though the large engine compartment
opening. Two gas struts assist in raising
the engine hood. Visual indicators for
the radiator coolant, hydraulic oil tank
level and air cleaner provide easy
verification.
Standard 500 hour oil service interval
✔
reduces maintenance costs.

Tier 2 engine emission specifications.
Ratings at RPM kW hp
Gross power
Ratings of Caterpillar machine engines
are based on standard air conditions of
25°C (77°F) and 99 kPa (29.32" Hg) dry
barometer. Power is based on using 35°
API gravity fuel having an LHV of
42,780 kJ,kg (18,390 Btu/lb) when used
at 30°C (86°F) [ref. a fuel density of
838.9 g/L (7.001 lb/U.S. gal)]. Net
power advertised is the power available
at the flywheel when the engine is
equipped with air cleaner, muffler and
alternator. No derating required up to
2134 m (7,000 ft).
The following ratings apply at 2,200
RPM when tested under the specified
standard conditions for the specified

Transmission
Two speed hydrostatic propel system. A
hydrostatic pump provides oil to two
hydrostatic motors that are mounted
above the drive axles. The drive shafts
connect the motors to the axles.
A single propel lever located on the
control console provides smooth
hydrostatic control of the infinitely
variable speeds in forward and reverse.
Speeds (forward and reverse):
1st 0 - 8 km/h 0 - 5 mph
2nd 0 - 18 km/h 0 - 11 mph
Brakes
Primary brake features
■ Closed-loop hydrostatic drive system
provides dynamic braking during
machine operation.
Secondary brake features
■ The secondary brakes are
spring-applied and hydraulically
released. The wet, multiple disc brakes
are actuated by a switch on the control
console. They are also activated
automatically if pressure is lost in the
brake circuit or when the engine is
shut off.
Brake systems meet SAE J1472 practice and EN 500
requirement.
Steering
The automotive-type steering wheel and
column are integral with the operator’s
sliding platform and allow steering from
multiple positions. Priority-demand
hydraulic power-assist steering system
provides smooth, firm handling.
Each front wheel individually turns to
produce true tracking through turns.
Minimum turning radius:
Inside edge 3.47 m 11' 5"
Outside edge 6.70 m 22'
Wheels and Tires
The size of the three front tires and four
rear tires are 14/70 x 20 20 ply. The tires
provide 58 mm (2.25") of overlap. The
rear tires extend 58 mm (2.25") beyond
the frame. Each tire is equipped with a
cocoa mat. The cocoa mat keeps the tire
surface coated with water or emulsion in
order to prevent asphalt or soil from
adhering to them. The cocoa mats can be
retracted and positioned above the tires
when they are not needed.
Electrical System
The 24-volt electrical system includes
two maintenance-free Cat batteries,
color-coded and numbered wiring
wrapped in nylon braid. The system
includes a 55-amp alternator.

PS-360C specifications
Frame
The chassis is a rigid welded frame that
supports the engine, transmission and
sheet metal. The frame is designed to
evenly distribute the machine weight
between the front and rear axles.
Integrated baffle plates prevent surging
when using water ballast.
Instrumentation
The front control console includes the
start switch, alternator indicator light,
coolant temperature gauge, engine oil
pressure gauge, hydraulic oil temperature
gauge and hour meter. The side console
includes the propel lever, speed selector
switch, spray system controls, horn and
secondary brake switch.
Ballast Considerations
and Ground Contact
Pressures
The most common method of changing
ground contact pressure is to vary the
tire pressure. Another means to change
ground contact pressure is to alter the
ballast. The ballast compartments are
positioned with a calculated balance of
wheel to weight ratio. Internal-frame
baffles help prevent surges when water
ballasted.
The ballast blocks provide a low center
of gravity, resulting in good stability.
The ballast blocks are positioned in the
bottom of the mainframe near the center
Water System
The pressurized water system is
efficient and reliable. The system
includes stainless steel distribution bars
located over the front and rear tires and
retractable cocoa mats for each tire.
The pressurized system includes triple
water filtration and a powerful Cat
water pump. Cat water pumps are
designed to provide long life.
A polyethylene water tank is located at
the front of the machine on the
operator’s platform. A water level
gauge is on the tank within easy sight of
the operator.
