Overview
Maneuverable and productive
The Cat PM310 is an efficient, highly maneuverable milling machine with a cutting width of 1000 mm (39.4 in) that performs controlled full-depth removal of asphalt and concrete pavements in a single pass. Integrated Cat GRADE and the latest System K rotors deliver performance, productivity and cutting precision. A comfortable operator environment puts intuitive controls at your fingertips, while long service intervals and easy maintenance access simplifies service. While designed for a single operator, the PM310 includes added features for supporting ground personnel. Many options are available to enhance machine versatility when optimum maneuverability or high production capabilities are required.
Benefits
Comfortable Operation
An ergonomically adjustable work area puts intuitive controls at your fingertips for operation while seated or standing. A 14-button ground-level keypad and optional display gives supporting personnel access to numerous machine controls.
Milling Precision
Integrated technology and Cat System K rotors help achieve excellent cutting patterns and profiles. Cat track undercarriages offer smooth operation and a balance between traction, speed and maneuverability.
Low Cost of Ownership
Maintenance-free track components and extended service intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of labor needed and parts replaced over the life of the machine.

- The Cat C9.3B engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V and Korea Stage V emission standards
- Cat U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final, EU Stage V, and Korea Stage V Final 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. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
- Engine Idle Speed Management helps maximize fuel efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by elevating engine speed to an intermediate idle to complete specific tasks and returning to low idle when finished.
- 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.
- Cat Scheduled Oil Sampling (S•O•SSM) 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.
* Tailpipe greenhouse gas emissions from lower-carbon intensity fuels are essentially the same as traditional fuels.
