PL83 Pipelayer
Cat Pipelayers have been the standard of the pipeline industry for decades. A worldwide network of Cat dealers, in tune with the special high production needs of pipeliners, supports these durable and dependable machines. Cat Pipelayers are purpose-built to meet the unique demands of pipeline customers. And like every Cat machine, Pipelayers are designed for long life, serviceability and rebuild capability to help keep owning and operating costs low. The PL83 answers customer needs for increased lift capacity, enhanced slope capability, ease of operation, performance and transportability.
Built to Perform
- Integrated power train 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 winch for greater machine productivity.
- Counterweight profile improves lift capacity.
- 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 and lengthened track-roller frame with repositioned rear idler places more track on the ground, enhancing slope capability.
Because Uptime Counts
- 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.

- 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.
Designed for Operators
- 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.
Work in Comfort
- 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.
Built-In Safety Features
