Benefits & Features

Compaction

Compaction

The cost to select, prepare and gain approval for a new landfill site can be prohibitive. Extending the life of your current site through increased compaction can be a cost-effective alternative to new site development.

Advantages

Other advantages to increased compaction include:

Compaction Factors

In addition to machine weight, wheel configuration and design, the method of spreading the refuse and the number of machine passes have a large effect on compaction, which directly impacts the efficiency of a landfill operation.

Value of Compaction

Based on 1000 tons of waste per day, your daily savings with just a 20% increase in compaction could be as much as $8,000 per day with an average $40 per ton tipping fee.

Landfill Compactor

Caterpillar 836 Landfill Compactor, the heaviest in its class, is available in a combination of tip designs to provide productive and efficient compaction in landfill applications.

Tips (ARM)

Long-life Weld-on Plus Tips with Abrasion-Resistance Material (ARM). Exclusive Plus-shaped design provides superior compaction densities, excellent traction and sidehill stability on sloped material.

Chopper Wheels

Self-cleaning Chopper Wheels are designed to deliver maximum compaction and traction in landfill work.

Power Train

3408E Engine

Caterpillar 3408E Engine utilizes the HEUI fuel system and Electronic Control Module (ECM) to deliver power and efficiency in the most demanding applications.

Injection Pressures

High injection pressures, independent of engine speed, decrease smoke and emissions while improving response.

Injection Timing

Injection timing and duration are variable to improve fuel efficiency, improve cold starting and decrease smoke and emissions.

Injection Rate

Injection rate shaping reduces emissions and reduces engine noise.

Parts

Reduction in mechanical parts, improves reliability.

Electronic Control

Electronic control on the 3408E engines provides many benefits:

Aftercooler

Aftercooler cools inlet charge temperature to increase power while reducing thermal stresses that can cause premature wear of pistons, rings and liners.

Pistons & Liners

Oil-cooled pistons and full-length, water-cooled cylinder liners deliver maximum heat transfer for longer component life.

Oil Cooler

Engine oil cooler maintains optimum oil temperature for proper cooling and longer lubricant life.

Power Transmission

Planetary Power Shift Transmission. Torque loads are spread through planetary gear sets rather than concentrated on a single gear.

Torque Converter

Heavy duty torque converter is designed to transfer maximum available torque from the engine to the transmission, allowing the 836 to easily move through refuse during the compaction process.

Brakes

New axle-shaft, oil-disc brakes are fully hydraulic, completely sealed and never need adjustment. Disc face grooves provide cooling, even when brakes are applied, for a long fade resistant life.

Axles

Axles are high capacity bevel gear sets and differentials use new gear cutting process for increased strength, providing long life in high duty cycle application. New cutting process also reduces gear noise.

Operator's Station

Cab

Air conditioned, sound suppressed cab with Rollover Protective Structure is resiliently mounted to reduce noise and vibration.

Air Filtration

Air pressurization and filtration provide fresh, clean air for the cab.

Visibility

Operator sits high in the cab for excellent visibility.

Radio Ready

Radio-ready for entertainment and 2-way radio with 12-volt converter with power wires and built-in speakers.

Steering Column

Multiple-position, adjustable steering column puts steering wheel and transmission lever within easy reach.

Steering

Flow-amplified steering delivers responsive, precise control with automotive "feel".

Seat

Caterpillar Contour Series Seat is ergonomically designed, variably adjustable, and provides greater operator comfort.

Throttle Lock

Throttle lock allows operator to preset the engine speed for a variety of applications. A touch of the brakes disengages and the resume button reengages the pre-set engine speed.

Trash Protection

Radiator

Trash resistant radiator and cooling system on the 836 has many features which help prevent trash and debris from entering the engine compartment, helping maintain cooling capacity.

Wheel Attachments

Wheel Cleaner Attachments provide maximum capability to maintain clean wheels in severe packing conditions. Clean wheels assure the highest possible traction and compaction. Available with weld-on Plus Tips.

Striker Bars

Striker Bars. Located in front of and behind rear wheels, and behind front wheels. Striker bars provide substantially improved protection for the machine from landfill trash that can be thrown or carried by the wheels.

Landfill Blades

Straight Blade

Straight blade is an ideal blade for most waste management applications.

U-Blade

U-Blade dozes refuse while helping to retain load.

Semi-U Blade

Semi-U Blade is designed to combine the benefits of the Straight and U-Blades.

W-Blade

W-Blade is designed to help channel waste.
