• Visual indicators inform ground personnel of cutting depth and leading edge of the rotor when avoiding obstacles

Cat System K Rotor for Reclamation and Stabilization

• Deliver superior material quality on a variety of projects with the versatile System K rotor that uses proven toolholder and base block components from our cold planer System K rotor
• Components are manufactured with abrasion-resistant, high-strength alloys to withstand tough, high-power applications
• Tools are precisely placed on the rotor to deliver ideal material sizing and homogeneous mixing results
• The versatile Cat System K rotor can be configured with bolt-on Paddle or Wedge toolholder protection

1. Paddles provide additional material sizing in Full Depth Reclamation applications
2. Wedges reduce drag in soil stabilization and reclamation applications
3. Components can be rotated 180° for extra life

• Triple-tree cutting bit placement on rotor ends cleans up loose material and reduces wear on the rotor caused by maneuvering in the cut
• Replaceable toolholders can be selected for use with 20 or 22 mm shank bits and offer multiple methods for bit removal

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 propel speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency
• Electronically controlled All-Wheel Drive with Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions
• Performance and safety can be augmented with standard and optional cameras that are viewed on large, in-cab displays
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine
• Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) 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.
