Caterpillar has introduced three new cold planer models that the company says are capable of controlled, full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass.

The new PM820, PM 822 and PM825 are each powered by a Cat C18 engine producing 755 horsepower. The turbocharged C18 features an air-to-air after-cooling system with a variable-speed fan. Cat says the engine “responds quickly to operating demands while keeping exhaust temperatures low and maintaining needed airflow.”

Although the company says North America is the second market for telehandlers—behind Europe—Liebherr says there are no immediate plans to make its new telehandler lineup available here.

Liebherr announced three years ago that it was developing a telehandler series, and used an international press event in late October to unveil the actual iron. The company says it will launch eight new telehandler models in 26 different versions throughout next year.
