LONG-TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY
Working in the toughest application, the purpose-built 826 Landfill Compactor has specialized waste guarding to protect key components and systems from damage, debris, chemicals, premature wear, or wrapping of the material around components. This additional guarding includes:
        
  • Engine and Powertrain Guards – Hydraulically actuated guards help prevent trash buildup and shield components.
    •     
  • Front Frame Guards – Front frame guards prevent trash buildup inside the frame. This guard further protects components and hydraulic lines.
    •     
  • Axle Wrapping and Seal Guarding – The guarding prevents material from wrapping and binding around the axles, as well as assists in ease of cleaning.
    •     
  • Major System Guarding and Sight Gauges – Transmission oil tube is guarded to resist damage from debris. The sight gauge for the transmission is visible from ground level. The fuel tank is positioned away from the debris in the front frame and is easily accessed.
    •     
  • Air Inlet Screen – The vertically corrugated, fine-mesh air inlet screen helps reduce trash from entering the radiator area and allows for debris to fall off.
    •     
  • Striker Bars and Optional Cleaner Fingers – Striker bars are located in front of and behind the rear wheels and behind the front wheels. Striker bars help to keep wheels free of debris to assist the wheel step tips in maintaining good compaction. In cohesive material or severe packing conditions, optional cleaner fingers are available to further assist in keeping the wheel step tips clean.
    •     
  • Extended Roof – An oversized roof extends past the cab doors and windows to minimize debris buildup.
    •     
  • Under Hood Ventilation System – Creates a neutral pressure environment to prevent trash ingestion from hood openings while providing fresh air to the alternator, electronics, and turbo.
WHEEL TIPS BUILT TO PERFORM
        
  • Designed specifically to complement Cat machines.
    •     
  • Improves machine performance through longer wear life and maintaining traction.
    •     
  • Four wheel and tip configurations are available to meet your particular application:
        
  1. Paddle Tip – High performance and less fuel burn with more traction and less weight.
    2.     
  2. Plus Tip – Traditional design for increased side slope stability.
    3.     
  3. Combination Tip – Both paddle and plus tips provide the best compromise of performance and fuel economy with side slope stability.
    4.
