Caterpillar 3116 engine performs at full-rated net power of 82 kW (110 hp) at 2100 rpm with high torque rise of 36%. High horsepower, combined with high torque rise, give the 561M the durability needed on the challenging jobs. Moreover, this engine meets all the latest emission regulations around the world.
Turbocharging improves response and performance at low to medium engine speeds.
Direct unit injection fuel system eliminates external high pressure fuel lines and provides excellent control of injection timing with individually metered, high-pressure, direct-injection of fuel. Result is improved engine response and reliability plus low fuel consumption and emissions.
Resilient engine mounting for quieter operation and less vibration.
Improved multiple row modular radiator efficiently cools the engine for optimum engine performance in tough environments and applications.
Torque converter responds to changing load conditions by providing torque multiplication for increased drawbar pull while protecting the drive train from shock loads.
Power shift transmission. Proven planetary design delivers fast, smooth speed changes while distributing loads over multiple gears for long life. Perimeter-mounted clutches provide superior heat dissipation and a large contact area for long service life.
Separated clutches and brakes. Oil-cooled, hydraulically actuated multiple-disc clutches and brakes for smooth, precise turns.
Final drives. Precision, high load capacity gears and bearings give long-lasting performance and durability.
High strength steel mainframe. The 561M mainframe absorbs high impact shock loads and twisting forces.
Structural testing analysis is used to verify and ensure integrity of the mainframe.
Robotic welding provides deep penetration and consistency for long life.
Precision top level machining for perfect 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.
High flange improved track rollers (optional) combined with center or full length roller guards attachments greatly improved track guiding for demanding side slope conditions.
Track shoes are 510 mm (20”) single grouser shoes made from heat-treated, rolled steel for added strength. Long track frame and wide gauge enhance track contact area, providing a very stable working base.
Operator's station provides excellent comfort and convenience. The new counterweight design provides improved viewing area from the machine.
Pipelayer steering clutch levers are easy-to-reach, low-effort controls. They are independently actuated for sure, precise steering.
The seat is ergonomically designed and fully adjustable for maximum comfort. The seat cushion reduces the pressure on the lower back and thighs while allowing unrestricted arm and leg movement.
Instrument panel is the Electronic Monitoring System (EMS) for monitoring critical machine functions. There is also a gauge group displaying fuel level, coolant, and power train oil temperatures.
Separated brakes are independent of the steering clutch function to give the machine precise steering control.
Pipelayer controls are low effort and allow simultaneous, precise positioning of the load line and boom.
Load line speed range is controlled by a push-pull knob that allows the operator to select high or low.
Counterweight control adjusts the position of the counterweight for added machine stability.
Simplified entry by adding a ladder on the right rear side of the machine.
Modular design of power train components permits fast removal and installation.
Pre-testing modular components before installation or after repair assures high quality.
Group service points and excellent access to service areas make routine checks fast and convenient.
Quick, easy service access and inspection of daily maintenance items.
Pressure test points for powertrain and hydraulic systems are provided.
Electrical system diagnostic connector enables fast troubleshooting of starting and charging problems.
Modular cooling system, with individual core assemblies, provides improved serviceability, reduced replacement costs, and improved durability.
Caterpillar Remanufactured starters, alternators, cylinder heads, short blocks, engines, oil pumps, and final drive hubs are available for fast, economical repairs.
Ecology drains provide an environmentally safer method to drain fluids. They are included on the radiator, hydraulic tank, and major power train components.
Your Cat dealer offers a wide range of services that can be set up under a customer support agreement when you purchase your equipment. The dealer will help you choose a plan that can cover everything from machine and attachment selection to replacement, to help you get the best return on your investment.
Selection. Make detailed comparisons of the machines you are considering before you buy. How long do components last? 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.
Operation. Improving operating techniques can boost your profits. Your Cat dealer has training videotapes, literature, and other ideas to help you increase productivity.
Replacement. Repair, rebuild, or replace? Your Cat dealer can help you evaluate the cost involved so you can make the right choice.
Product support. You will find nearly all parts at our dealer parts counter. Cat dealers utilize a worldwide computer network to find in-stock parts to minimize machine down time. Save money with remanufactured parts. You receive the same warranty and reliability as new products at cost savings of 40 to 70 percent.
