Caterpillar 3406C engine performs at full-rated net power of 228 kW (305 hp) at 2100 rpm with high torque rise of 55 percent. The large displacement and high torque rise provide the 583R with the power needed on challenging jobs. The high displacement rating allows long hours of continuous operation.
3406C Engine meets worldwide emissions regulations for the Environmental Protection Agency, the European Union and the California Air Resources Board.
Turbocharging and aftercooling provide high horsepower while keeping rpm and exhaust temperatures low. The efficient, direct-injection fuel system keeps fuel costs down.
A steel spacer between the block and head eliminates the need for block counterbores, extending block life.
Components live longer because oil-cooled pistons and full-length, water-cooled cylinder liners provide maximum heat transfer for longer component life. The cylinder heads also utilize additional coolant passages to provide maximum cooling to the rear of the engine.
Stellite-faced valves, through hardened crankshaft journals and steel-backed, copper-bonded aluminum bearings help assure reliable performance in the toughest duty.
Cat Dealer's exchange program for major engine components can cut repair time and costs.
Torque Divider. A single-stage torque converter with output torque divider sends 70% of the engine torque through the converter, 30% through a direct drive shaft for greater driveline efficiency and higher torque multiplication.
The torque converter shields the driveline from sudden torque shocks and vibration.
Advanced Modular cooling system (AMOCS) utilizes an exclusive two pass cooling system and increased cooling surface area to provide a more efficient heat transfer system than conventional systems.
Caterpillar Extended Life Coolant (ELC) is standard in 583R pipelayers. Engine coolant life can be doubled, allowing longer intervals between coolant changes, when Cat extender solution is used at 3000 hours.
High strength steel mainframe. The 583R mainframe is built to absorb high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
Precision, top level machining enhances alignment of bores and surfaces.
Final drives and associated power train components are raised above the work area, isolating them from the 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.
Track shoes are 710 mm (28 in) single grouser design and made from heat-treated, rolled steel for added strength. Long track frame and wide gauge enhance track contact area, providing a stable working base.
Operator's station provides excellent comfort and convenience.
Pipelayer controls are low-effort and allow simultaneous, precise positioning of the load line and boom, while allowing the operator to select a high or low speed range.
A storage compartment has been included for operator convenience.
Transmission control. Simple U-shaped shift pattern with excellent detents makes speed changes smooth, fast and accurate.
Instrument panel is the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) for monitoring critical machine functions. There is also a gauge group displaying power train oil, hydraulic oil and coolant temperatures.
Pipelayer steering clutch levers are easy-to-reach, low effort controls. They are independently actuated for sure, precise steering.
Separated brakes are independent of the steering clutch function to give the machine precise steering control.
The seat is ergonomically designed and fully adjustable for maximum comfort.
High to low idle setting allows the operator to set engine speed at the desired rpm.
Accelerator pedal allows the operator to control engine speed while freeing hands for transmission and pipelayer controls.
Counterweight control adjusts the position of the counterweight for added machine stability.

Spin-on fuel and engine oil filters save changing time. Further time is saved with fast fuel and quick oil change attachments.
Ecology drains provide an environmentally safer method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, hydraulic tank and major power train components.
Cat Dealers offer a wide range of services under a customer support agreement when equipment is purchased. The dealer will help choose a plan that can cover everything from machine and attachment selection to replacement for the best return on your investment.
Selection. Make detailed comparisons of the machine being considered before a purchase. How long do components last? What is the cost of preventative maintenance? What is the true cost of lost production? Your Cat dealer can give you precise answers to these questions.
Purchase. Look past initial price. 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.
Your dealer can also arrange affordable lease, rental or purchase financing for all Caterpillar products.
Replacement. Repair, rebuild or replace? Your Cat dealer can help evaluate the cost involved so you can make the right choice.
Product support. Cat dealers utilize a world-wide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine down time. Save money with remanufactured parts. Receive the same warranty and reliability as new products at cost savings of 40 to 70 percent.
