PL72

• Integrated powertrain with differential steering and updated hydraulic system work together to provide power and improved machine maneuverability for any pipelayer application.
• Electro-hydraulics offer greater response and precise control to variable speed motors of the heavy duty winches for greater machine productivity.
• Differential steering maintains full power to both tracks for best-in class turning even with a loaded boom, increasing maneuverability in tight locations.
• Improved machine center of gravity for better slope capabilities.

• Equipped with Product Link™ which enables remote monitoring, improving overall fleet management effectiveness.
• Full left-side engine serviceability, including fill tube, dipstick, air cleaner, fuel filters, oil filter and coolant level check allows for quick and efficient routine service.
• High speed oil change is standard and makes servicing even faster.
• Hydraulic and powertrain filters and fuel tank drain are located at rear of machine and are conveniently serviceable from ground level.
• Pressure taps are placed within hydraulic system to allow for quick monitoring.
• Major components like the engine, transmission, and final drives are modular for quicker removal during service, saving cost and downtime.

• Implement joystick places all pipelayer implement controls and functionality in one hand.
• Low-effort, ergonomically designed and positioned control handle allows simultaneous, precise positioning of load line, boom, and extendible counterweight.
• Dual brake pedal controls provide enhanced maneuverability and steering control.
• Planetary differential steering contributes to superior maneuverability in tight areas of operation as well as enhanced slope capability.

• Quieter, pressurized cab with heated/ventilated seat option improves operator comfort and productivity.
• Ergonomically designed seat is positioned for greater visibility to work area and convenient access to machine control lever, switches and pedals.

• Load Moment Indicator (LMI) is standard.
• Convenient steps, handles and guardrail provide safe access/egress.
• Enlarged roof top window with retractable shade, additional mirrors, and angled door improves visibility to the trench, boom and blocks.
• Standard operator presence detection system allows machine to idle when operator is not seated, but locks out power train to avoid unintentional movement.
• Rear vision camera is standard, and two additional cameras can be added as an option to further enhance visibility around the machine.
