PM310 (Tier 3)

Overview

The Cat PM310 is an efficient, highly maneuverable milling machine with a cutting width of 1000 mm (39.4 in) that performs controlled full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass. Integrated Cat GRADE and the latest System K rotors deliver performance, productivity and cutting precision. A comfortable operator environment puts intuitive controls at your fingertips, while long service intervals and easy maintenance access simplifies service. While designed for a single operator, the PM310 includes added features for supporting ground personnel. Many options are available to enhance machine versatility when optimum maneuverability or high production capabilities are required.

• Touchscreen displays provide access to gauge cluster, operating information, grade and slope, remote camera feeds, machine controls and diagnostics
    
• A 14-button ground level keypad and optional touchscreen display gives supporting personnel access to adjust leg height, side plates, moldboard, water spray and lighting
    
• Connect up to four optional remote cameras to enhance visibility to the cutting edges, conveyor, and rear of the machine
    
• Cut closer to obstacles on either side using optional remote cameras with adjustable on-screen guidance lines
    
• An optional hydraulically powered canopy with extendible wing and handrail-mounted windscreen protect the operator from sun, wind, and rain
    
• Better direct exhaust up and away when milling close to buildings or ground personnel with the optional and stowable exhaust diverter
    
• Maximize dust removal from the working areas with the optional dust abatement system

Integrated Cat Technology

    
• Achieve accurate, repeatable and automatic cutting precision with the integrated Cat GRADE with Grade and Slope system
    
• The optional grade control display can be positioned in the operator station or on the back of the machine to enable interaction with the grade system from the ground level
    
• Obtain full control of grade and slope from any machine display
    
• Easily adjust grade control values and sensors through the highly intuitive touchscreen interface
    
• Adjust the speed at which the rotor drops into the cut for optimal machine control
    
• Set and automate transitions into/out of cuts and save settings for future jobs
    
• Clear obstacles in the cutting path with ease using the obstacle jump feature
    
• Enhance for full 3D milling operation (additional hardware required)

Simplfied Service, Low Maintenance Costs

    
• Maintenance is easier with large service doors for access to critical components
    
• Maintenance-free track components and easy to replace track pads lower service costs
    
• Standard ground-level controls and an optional hydraulically operated rotor turning device simplify bit removal and replacement

Sustainability

    
• Cat C9.3B engines meeting Brazil MAR-1 emission standards, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA, are compatible with diesel fuel blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels* up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
    
• Engine Idle Speed Management helps maximize fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by elevating engine speed to an intermediate idle to complete specific tasks and returning to low idle when finished.
    
• Automatic Load Control helps you save fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by automatically matching milling speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency.
    
• Standby/Resume pauses major machine functions and lowers engine speed to conserve fuel and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions during truck exchanges.
    
• Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
    
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S^SM) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine's operation and maintenance manual for more information.
    
• Cat Grade with Grade and Slope for cold planers allows for accurate material planning to help reduce overages during the paving process and increase final project quality for a longer lasting road surface.
