The Machine
The 587T isn’t only engineered for production in the toughest of environments but also reliability. The 366 horsepower available at the flywheel allow this beast to lift more than 100 tons and rugged components ensure little downtime in the harshest of working environments. Developed from the proven D8T, the 587T has all the features, functionality and durability that defines Caterpillar equipment. The components are constructed from HTS steel using the latest automated weld and fabrication techniques. The undercarriage and running gear have been optimized for the pipe laying environment. With fully hydraulic drawworks, hydraulic disc brakes and infinitely variable speed, the operation of the machine is smooth and precise.

The Model
Our 1:48 scale die-cast 587T pipe-layer is sure to draw raves on three levels: 1. Detail 2. Limited edition exclusivity 3. High value pricing. Individually linked, spring tensioned, all metal tracks, functioning boom and load block winches and a detailed operators station are just the starting point for details. Produced in a limited edition of just 1,000 models, it's hard to believe the model includes features like the hydraulic motor driving the engine fan that can be seen behind the front grill, bolt heads on the tracks and even markings on the gauges for the operator. And even though it doesn't tip the scales at 117,000 lbs. like the real machine does we don't think there will be any argument that this model is a true heavyweight champion.
