Power Train
An electronically controlled power
shift transmission assures smooth
shifting and maximum power to the
ground. A modular rear axle and
hydraulic brakes simplify serviceability
and reduce operating costs. pg. 10

Operator Station
The 160M features a revolutionary cab design that provides unmatched comfort, visibility
and ease of use, making the operator more confident and productive.

Articulation Return-to-Center.
This exclusive feature automatically
returns the machine to a straight frame
position from any articulation angle with
the touch of a single button. Return-toCenter helps improve productivity and
safety by allowing the operator to focus
on controlling the moldboard.
Power Train
Integrated, electronically controlled systems, deliver smooth reliable performance
with reduced operating costs.
10
Hydraulic Brakes. The oil bathed, multidisc service brakes are hydraulically
actuated (1), providing smooth
predictable braking and lower operating
costs. With brakes located at each tandem
wheel, the 160M offers the largest total
brake surface area in the industry (2),
delivering dependable stopping power
and longer brake life.

Engine
The 160M combines power management with ACERT Technology to deliver maximum
power and efficiency while reducing the environmental impact.
Power Management. The 160M Power
Management System automatically
delivers an additional five horsepower
in each forward gear 1st through 4th,
and each reverse gear 1st through 3rd.
This standard feature optimizes rimpull
for all gears by balancing traction, speed
and horsepower while conserving fuel.
The system limits horsepower in lower
gears, which helps reduce wheel slip
where traction is limited. With the
Variable Horsepower Plus (VHP Plus)
option, an additional five-horsepower
is delivered in each forward gear 5th
through 8th for more power at
higher speeds.
12
Hydraulics
The 160M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise
and predictable movements.
Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System.
The 160M incorporates a state-of-the-art
electro-hydraulic system. This technology
is the foundation for revolutionary
changes of the machine and implement
controls. Advanced joystick controls
provide unmatched controllability with
precise, predictable hydraulic movements
and the reliability you expect from
Caterpillar.
Blade Float. Blade float is built into the
blade lift control valves and is optional
for some auxiliary hydraulic functions.
The blade float feature allows the blade
to move freely under its own weight.
By floating both cylinders, the blade
can follow the contours of the road
when removing snow. Floating only
one cylinder permits the toe of the
blade to follow a hard surface while
the operator controls the slope with
the other lift cylinder.
Cat XT Hose. Caterpillar hose
technology allows high pressures for
maximum power and reduced downtime.
Intelligent routing minimizes exposure
to damage. Hose clips prevent hose
rubbing and excessive vibration for
lower owning and operating costs.
Independent Oil Supply. Large, separate
hydraulic oil supply prevents crosscontamination and provides proper oil
cooling, which reduces heat build-up
and extends component life.

Safety
Safety is an integral part of all machine and system designs.
18
Drop-Down Rear Lights. Optional dropdown lights fold out from the rear of the
machine. This creates a wider, lower
profile to be better aligned with
passenger cars.
Rearview Camera. Visibility is further
enhanced with an optional Work Area
Vision System (WAVS) through a
178 mm (7 in) LCD color monitor in the
cab. Developed specifically for rugged
applications, this durable camera improves
productivity and increases operator
awareness of surroundings.
High Intensity Discharge (HID) Lighting.
Optional HID lights can replace the
standard halogen lamps. The powerful
HID lights are four times brighter,
improving night time visibility and safety.

Net power is tested per ISO 9249, SAE J1349, and EEC 80/1269
Standards in effect at the time of manufacture.
VHP Plus is an optional attachment.
Net power advertised is the power available at rated speed
of 2,000 rpm, measured at the flywheel when engine is
equipped with fan running at minimum speed, air cleaner,
muffler and alternator.
No engine derating required up to 3048 m (10,000 ft).
