Overview
More power to get the job done
The PM820 is a high-production, half-lane milling machine with a cutting width of 2010 mm (79.1 in) that performs controlled full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass.
Benefits
Milling Precision
Achieve perfect cuts with integrated technology, System K rotors, and a Cat track design with advanced steering and traction control.
Maximum Power
Automatic features optimize demand on the engine and rotor system to keep operation smooth and productive, providing up to 27% more power than the PM620 and PM622.
Improved Service
Designed specifically to reduce maintenance time with walk-in access to critical components, long service intervals and convenient parts availability, combined with engine and machine support from your Cat dealer.

- The Cat C18 Twin Turbo engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
- Cat U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
- Automatic Idle Control helps reduce unnecessary fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by allowing the engine to automatically go into idle mode when the machine is not working.
- Automatic Load Control helps you save fuel and reduces greenhouse gas emissions by automatically matching milling speed to engine load for maximum production at peak efficiency.
- Standby/Resume pauses major machine functions and lowers engine speed to conserve fuel and helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions during truck exchanges.
- Traction Control maintains consistent traction to increase machine efficiency, helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
- The engine, fuel and hydraulic systems are equipped with ecology drains for easy servicing and to help prevent spillage.
- Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine: hydraulic oil 6000 hours with sampling, coolant 12000 hours with extender.
- Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•S℠) Services helps reveal excessive wear, contaminated fluids or other “unseen” issues that can shorten component life. In many cases, you can extend oil and coolant change intervals by using fluid monitoring. Consult your Cat dealer or the machine’s operation and maintenance manual for more information.
- Cat Grade with Grade and Slope for cold planers allows for accurate material planning to help reduce overages during the paving process and increase final project quality for a longer lasting road surface.
- Don’t waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
- VisionLink displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
