Caterpillar 3054C Turbocharged Diesel Engine
Cat 3054C turbocharged diesel engine delivers 75 kW (100 hp) and is built for performance and reliability without sacrificing fuel economy.
Excellent Fuel Efficiency
Turbocharged engine provides 75 kW (100 hp) of gross power. Mechanically controlled direct injection provides excellent fuel efficiency.
Combustion Chamber
Highly-efficient combustion chamber increases power while lowering fuel consumption, engine emissions and noise.
Meets Standards
The engine meets U.S. Tier 2 emission standards.
High Displacement-To-Power Ratio
High displacement-to-power ratio ensures long life and provides outstanding reliability and durability.
Large Oil Cooler
Large oil cooler reduces oil deterioration and varnishing of internal components.
Fuel Injection System Protection
Combination fuel filter and water separator offers superior protection for the fuel injection system.
Standard Oil Change
500 hour oil change interval is standard.
Propel System
Hydrostatic propel system combines smooth starts and stops with plenty of torque. The “High Drive” concept does not use any chains. The drive motors, secondary brake and hoses are all protected within the machine frame. The heavy weight option incorporates load compensating valves for each propel motor to increase torque.
Smooth Starts And Stops
Power transmission with drive line provides smooth starts and stops – no chains are used.
Hydrostatic Transmission
Hydrostatic transmission provides primary braking – no brake shoes or pads to service.
Easy Serviceability
Easy serviceability to all drive components.
Limited Contamination And Damage
Hydraulic motors, secondary brakes and drive lines are positioned high inside the machine frame, limiting contamination and damage.
Two Speed Ranges
Two speed ranges provide job site mobility and traction capability to suit working conditions.
Extended Drive Train Life
Remote drive train flushing system provides cool hydraulic oil to the brakes and axles to provide extended drive train life.
Operator’s Station
The new PS-150C Pneumatic Compactor features excellent operator comfort and visibility. The propel lever, grouped control gauges and conveniently located control switches enhance operator productivity and reduce fatigue. An optional MVP control console rotates to three different positions, left, right or center and allows the operator to view the front tire contact points.
Easy Maneuvering
Exceptional all-around visibility provides easy maneuvering.
Lasting Comfort
Adjustable, cushioned seat provides lasting comfort.
Enhanced Mobility And Visibility
Flat platform enhances operator’s mobility and visibility.
Streamlined Gauges
Streamlined gauges keep operator informed of engine systems and machine status.
Simplified Operation
Single lever propel control simplifies operation.
Standard Operator's Station Equipment
Standard equipment includes Roll Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and a 75 mm (3") wide retractable seat belt.
Rotating Operator's Station (Optional)
Optional rotating operator’s station allows operator to swivel control console from left side to right side.
Tire Overlap/Wheel Oscillation
Tires overlap and wheels oscillate for maximum compactive effort with each pass. The oscillating front and rear wheels seek out and compact soft spots. The oscillating wheels also provide even wheel loads and uniform compaction across the rolling width.
Full-Width Coverage
Front and rear wheels paths overlap 13 mm (0.5") to provide full-width coverage of 1743 mm (69") and 2134 mm (84") with 11-wheel option.
Uniform Compation
Front and rear wheel bolsters oscillate ±4.4 degrees to allow uniform compaction across entire rolling width. (Note: With the 11-wheel option, oscillation angle on outside rear wheels is zero degrees up and 4.4 degrees down.)
Wheel Oscillation
Wheel oscillation helps ensure excellent bonding of longitudinal asphalt joints.
Serviceability
The one-piece fiberglass hood tilts upward to allow access to the engine and daily maintenance points. Daily check points are accessible from ground level. The rear mounted cooling system allows easy access for cleaning. The standard oil change interval of 500 hours reduces downtime and maintenance costs.
Large Engine Enclosure Pivots
Large engine enclosure pivots upward for access to engine, cooling package and filters.
Single-Point Access
Single-point access to all engine service points and filters is through the engine enclosure.
Rear Engine Access
Engine access at rear provides oneside, ground level, walk-up service.
Ensured Electrical System Integrity
Nylon braided wrap and all weather connectors ensure electrical system integrity.
Simplified System Diagnosis
Quick-connect hydraulic test ports simplify system diagnosis.
Remote Mounted Drains
Remote mounted drains for fuel, hydraulic and cooling systems allow collection of fluids.
Standard Oil Change
500 hour oil change interval is standard.
Heavy Weight Option
The PS-150C offers an optional heavy weight package that is able to increase the maximum operating weight to 17 137 kg (38,000 lb). The propel system includes load compensating valves that provide increased torque to the propel motors for working on grades and on tough underfoot conditions.
Increased Versatility
Maximum operating weight of 17 137 kg (38,000 lb) increases versatility for working on thick lifts.
Increased Ground Contact Pressures
Maximum weight per wheel of 1920 kg (4,220 lb) provides increased ground contact pressures for thick lifts and harsh mixes.
Ballast (Optional)
Ballast (optional) provides an additional 6168 kg (13,600 lb) of steel ballast for increased versatility.
Load Compensating Valves
Load compensating valves provide increased torque to the propel motors for working on grades and on tough underfoot conditions.
Quick Maneuverability
Maximum travel speed of 25.6 km/h (15.9 mph) provides quick maneuverability around the job site.
12-Ply Tires
12-ply tires are standard with the heavy weight option.
