✔ New feature

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.

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.

harness to accept the optional
Caterpillar Product Link System. The
Caterpillar Product Link System
simplifies machine tracking by
providing location and hour updates to
assist in scheduling of routine service.
Consult your Caterpillar Dealer for
purchasing information regarding which
Product Link version fits your needs.
