• Able to tow wide range of attachments.
Heavy-duty lifting components include the following: Load and boom blocks, forged hook with latch, serviceable handle, roller bearings and ductile iron sheaves with sealed roller bearings. Also includes high performance cable for improved life, crush resistance, flexibility and strength.
The 583T mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
A front bumper is pinned on the frame rails and provides both protection and a towing device. Pipelayer frame mounts are also an integral part of the frame.
Provides increased operator protection. • Available with or without cab.
A tapered hood and “notched” fuel tank give the operator a clear line of sight to the front, rear and side work areas. The new streamlined design of the Caterpillar 583T Pipelayer offers several operator visibility improvements for more precise maneuvering and placement of pipe.
Dual-twist tiller control with standard differential steering controls direction and degree of turns, forward-reverse shifting, and gear selection in a single control handle. One hand steering enhances operator comfort.
Pipelayer controls are low effort and allow simultaneous, precise positioning of the load line and boom with one hand.
Provides the operator instant feedback on the condition of operating systems and records such performance data as high/low gauge readings to help diagnose problems and manage undercarriage. Has gauges that monitor the temperature of the engine coolant, hydraulic oil and power train oil, plus the fuel level. Also has a digital and gauge type tachometer.
Direct access to the operator's station utilizing ladder on left side of the machine.
Allows the operator to regulate line speed.
The voltage converter provides two 12-volt power supplies.
Adjusts the position of the counterweight for added machine stability.
A rocker switch and decelerator pedal control engine speed. Idle can be set to desired level. High or low idle is delivered with a touch of the finger.
Designed for operator comfort and productivity in any climate. Fully insulated with a heater. Air conditioning and ROPS available as additional options.
The optional cab provides excellent visibility, designed with the maximum glass area. There is also an additional option of dual pane windows available for cold weather environments.
The cab is equipped with a skylight window to view the boom and upper block.
The side windows are screened to allow better ventilation and ground communication.
The optional cab is equipped with wipers on the front, rear and door windows to provide a clearer view during inclement weather.
Eight additional halogen lights come with the cab arrangement, 3 facing forward, 2 to the rear, 2 to the boom side and 1 to the winch side.
The Cat C15 engine with ACERT™ Technology provides the power for the 583T. Performing at full-rated net power of 231 kW (310 hp) at 1850 rpm, the large displacement and high torque rise provides the 583T the power needed on challenging jobs. Matched to the high-efficiency torque divider and electronically controlled power shift transmission, it will provide years of dependable service.
The ADEM A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery to get the best performance per liter (gal) of fuel used. It provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs. It tracks engine and machine conditions while keeping the engine operating at peak efficiency.
Multiple injection fuel delivery involves a high degree of precision. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber temperatures generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion; translating into more work output for your fuel cost.
A highly evolved fuel system with a proven record of reliability in the field. MEUI combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection. The MEUI system excels in its ability to control injection pressure over the entire engine operating speed range. These features allow the C15 to have complete control over injection timing, duration, and pressure.
Air-to-air aftercooling keeps air intake temperatures down and, in concert with the tight tolerance combustion chamber components, maximizes fuel efficiency and minimizes emissions. Significant improvements in air flow are generated by a water-cooled turbocharger, unique cross-flow head and single overhead cam.
Easier maintenance and repair through monitoring key functions and logging critical indicators. Electronic diagnostic access is possible with a single tool, the Cat Electronic Technician.
A high efficiency torque divider with freewheel stator provides high torque multiplication while shielding the drive train from sudden torque shocks and vibration.
As loads on the tractor increase, the 583T offers unmatched lugging capability and smooth shifting as the need occurs to change gears under varying loads. The 3-speed forward, 3-speed reverse transmission, backed by differential steering, offers excellent runout speeds and accurate steering capability under load.
Final drives and associated power train components are raised above the work area, isolating them from ground induced impact loads, as well as pipelayer loads, extending power train component life.
Sprocket position keeps sprocket teeth, bushings and final drives away from the abrasive materials and moisture, resulting in longer final drive gear and seal life.
Feature symmetric Duo-Cone seals for long sealing life to prevent oil loss and dirt entry. Toric rings maintain performance over a wide range of temperatures. Rollers and idlers are serviceable and rebuildable to provide value.
Roller frames are tubular to resist bending and twisting, with added reinforcement where operating loads are highest.
Made exclusively of Caterpillar Tough Steel™ for longer wear life and precision machined after heat treat for proper fit. Segments can be removed or replaced without breaking the track.
Designed for high-impact and high load applications. The PPR exclusive Caterpillar design locks the link to the pin.
Track shoes are 710 mm (28 in) single grouser design and made from heat treated, rolled steel for added strength. Wide track and clipped shoes are available as an option to match working conditions. Long track frame and wide gauge enhance track contact area, providing a stable working base.
Minimizes maintenance and repair downtime. New sight gauges, filter locations, improved access to oil and coolant sampling ports, and an engine compartment mounted work lamp, make daily and periodic service faster and easier.
Engine oil filter is located on the engine for easy servicing access and minimal downtime. Save further time with the optional quick oil change attachments.
Easily located just inside the engine access panel, the water separator functions as the primary fuel filter, just ahead of the secondary fuel filter.
Allow for fast diagnosis of the power train, hydraulics and attachment oil systems.
Scheduled Oil Sampling made easier through live sampling ports for the engine oil, hydraulics and coolant.
This option allows the customer or dealer to obtain machine diagnostics and location information from their offices. Product Link PL300 provides updates on service meter hours, machine condition and machine location, as well is integrated mapping/route planning. Built-in flexibility allows for future technology development.
Consider the financing options available, as well as day-to-day operating costs. This is also the time to look at dealer services that can be included in the cost of the machine to yield lower equipment owning and operating costs over the long run.
Plan for effective maintenance before buying equipment. Choose from your dealer's wide range of maintenance services at the time you purchase your machine. Programs such as Custom Track Service (CTS), S•O•S analysis, Technical Analysis and guaranteed maintenance contracts give peak life and performance to your machine.
You will find nearly all parts at your dealer parts counter. Cat Dealers use a worldwide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine downtime. Ask about your Cat Dealer's exchange program for major components. This can shorten repair time and lower costs.
Genuine Cat Remanufactured parts save you money. You receive the same warranty and reliability as new products at cost savings of 40 to 70 percent. Components available for the drive train, engine, and hydraulics.
