Built to Perform

Integrated power train with differential steering and updated hydraulic system work together to provide power and improved machine maneuverability for any pipelayer application.
Electro-hydraulics offer greater response and precise control to variable speed motors of the heavy duty winch for greater machine productivity.
Counterweight profile improves lift capacity.
Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks for best-in class turning even with a loaded boom, increasing maneuverability in tight locations.
Improved machine center of gravity and lengthened track-roller frame with repositioned rear idler places more track on the ground, enhancing slope capability.

Because Uptime Counts

Equipped with Product Link™ which enables remote monitoring, improving overall fleet management effectiveness.
Full left-side engine serviceability, including fill tube, dipstick, air cleaner, fuel filters, oil filter and coolant level check allows for quick and efficient routine service.
High speed oil change is standard and makes servicing even faster.
Hydraulic and powertrain filters and fuel tank drain are located at rear of machine and are conveniently serviceable from ground level.
Pressure taps are placed within hydraulic system to allow for quick monitoring.
Major components like the engine, transmission, and final drives are modular for quicker removal during service, saving cost and downtime.

Designed for Operators

Implement joystick places all Pipelayer implement controls and functionality in one hand.
Low-effort, ergonomically designed and positioned control handle allows simultaneous, precise positioning of load line, boom, and extendible counterweight.
Dual brake pedal controls provide enhanced maneuverability and steering control.
Planetary differential steering contributes to superior maneuverability in tight areas of operation as well as enhanced slope capability.

Work in Comfort

Quieter, pressurized cab with heated/ventilated seat option improves operator comfort and productivity.
Ergonomically designed seat is positioned for greater visibility to work area and convenient access to machine control lever, switches and pedals.

Built-In Safety Features

Load Moment Indicator (LMI) is standard.
Convenient steps, handles and guardrail provide safe access/egress.
Enlarged roof top window with retractable shade, additional mirrors, and angled door improves visibility to the trench, boom and blocks.
Standard operator presence detection system allows machine to idle when operator is not seated, but locks out power train to avoid unintentional movement.
Rear vision camera is standard, and two additional cameras can be added as an option to further enhance visibility around the machine.
