INNOVATION THATS PERFECTLY BALANCED

Cat H-Series features the advanced proportional priority pressure-compensated (PPPC) hydraulic
valves. This triple-PC system is unique to Caterpillar and provides superior implement control

Designed and built by Caterpillar for the

H-Series motor grader
PPPC valves insure consistent cylinder
speeds by regulating hydraulic flow
Each valve has a specific flow characteristic
for the cylinder it moves
Competitive machines have inconsistent
cylinder speeds, because their valves do
not have specific flow characteristics

PPPC valves have different flow rates for

the head end of the cylinder and the rod
end of the cylinder. This insures
consistent extending and retracting
characteristics for each cylinder.

and enhanced overall machine performance and efficiency.

During multifunction operations the PPPC

system proportionally allocates flow so that
every implement is operational
Competitive machines can lose operation
of an implement during multifunction
operations limiting operator effectiveness
Built-in lock-check valves reduce the number
of hydraulic connections and increase
environmental friendliness

The Cat PPPC valves deliver the highest level of control and precision in the industry. The consistent
cylinder speeds and specific flow characteristics of each valve enable operators to be more effective
setting a new standard for machine performance and efficiency.
No other motor grader in the world delivers like
the Cat H-Series, because no other motor
grader in the world utilizes the
PPPC hydraulic valves.

Efficient performance
Hydraulic power is delivered on demand
with the efficient Cat load-sensing system.
A variable displacement pump operates at
a low standby pressure, then provides only
the required flow and required pressure
for the implements in use. This reduces
system heat generation and places power
where you need it most in the dirt!
