Cat® High Flow Cold Planer Production Study

More info: www.cat.com/en_...| See how much asphalt is milled when using a high flow XHP Cat® Cold Planer paired with a Cat skid steer loader, multi terrain loader, compact track loader, or compact wheel loader. Cat Cold Planers are designed for small paving jobs in residential and commercial applications, and are primarily used to economically restore asphalt and concrete surfaces. They are ideal for milling imperfections prior to resurfacing, removing deteriorated pavement, removing traffic lane stripes and jobs where the use of dedicated planers is limited.

How does it perform on gravel roads containing big stones, concrete or base rock - natural stone like weathered granite, calcite or volcanic shale? Can you show it in such applications?

The Cat Cold Planers are primarily designed for milling concrete and asphalt for road repair or resurfacing. In these applications, they perform between 2 - 4 m/min in concrete, or 3 - 6 m/min in asphalt when partnered with a Cat Skid Steer or Compact Track Loader with HF XPS or XE/XHP hydraulic configuration.
By using a Cold Planer on a gravel road this anticipates a road reclamation project which will grind the dirt and rocks. A power box rake could be used as a preferred option.
Applications with base rock, granite, calcite or volcanic shale can all be broken and milled with a Cold Planer. This would require heavy duty concrete teeth with additional carbide to aid the breaking action. Typically the harder the material, the slower the speed.
These Cold planers are not soil stabilizers. The primary application for these machines are for milling asphalt and concrete for the purpose of resurfacing. It requires careful maintenance of using a Cold Planer in dirt (which wears teeth faster) and solid rock (which will take longer to cut) - Pablo

@@catconstructiontrade Thank you for the quick reply, good to know , Ill probably need one when I build my house on our family property- I got a hilltop property with bare stone - so i can plane the baserock hilltop with such a cold planer for a houselot, baserock driveway and baserock parking lot after I blast and hammer the uneven stone to a somewhat even surface. Ill note this maschine in needed gadgets, might get/order it at a local CAT shop soon

Any procuction rates for a deeper cut, even full depth?
