New CAT mixer
Caterpillar Inc. announces the availability of the RM400 Rotary Mixer. The new RM400 replaces the RM300 Rotary Mixer and offers many new features and enhancements including 19% more power, an enhanced operating environment, and better maneuverability. These features help contractors achieve the demanding job specifications in both full-depth reclamation and soil stabilization applications. The machine delivers a 2.4 m (8 ft.) cutting width and weighs in at 23 500 kg (51,809 lb.).
The Cat® C9.3 engine provides 311 kW (417 hp) of power and meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards. Standard all-wheel drive utilizes four independent drive pumps for maximum torque while providing excellent traction and greater speed for moving around the job site. An operating length of 9.56 m (31.4 ft.) is 44 cm (17.3 in.) shorter than its predecessor, the RM300. The shorter length improves maneuverability in commercial zones, parking lots, and residential areas, while also enhancing visibility.
