This Caterpillar PR-1000 is a used cold milling machine, sometimes referred to as a road planer or pavement milling machine, designed to remove and reclaim the surface layer of asphalt or concrete roads and pavements. Cold millers of this type are a core piece of equipment in road rehabilitation and resurfacing operations, and Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and road-building machinery, serving the infrastructure, civil engineering, and paving industries globally.
The machine is equipped with a 12-foot cutting head, providing a wide milling pass suited to high-production road work where covering large surface areas efficiently is a priority. A discharge conveyor is included, allowing milled material to be loaded directly onto haul trucks as the machine works, keeping the workflow continuous and the job site clear.
A notable feature of this unit is its re-powered grinding engine, a Caterpillar C32, which is a large-displacement diesel engine commonly found in heavy-duty plant and marine applications. A second Caterpillar engine, the C7, is dedicated to powering the hydraulic systems, meaning machine functions such as steering, conveyor operation, and cutting head depth control run independently of the main drive engine. This dual-engine configuration is a practical arrangement that keeps hydraulic performance consistent regardless of the load placed on the grinding engine.
The machine is located in California, USA, and is offered at $59,000.
