Guarding

Working in the toughest application, the purpose built 836H 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 Power Train Guards. Hydraulically-actuated guards help prevent trash build-up and shield components.
  • Front Frame Guards. Front frame guards prevent trash build-up 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 assist in ease of cleaning.
  • Major system guarding and sight gauges. The hydraulic tank, the hydraulic system fill tube, and transmission fill tube are guarded to resist damage from debris. The sight gauges for the hydraulic and transmission are easily visible from ground level.The fuel tank fast fill tube attachment, and tank are positioned away from the debris in the front linkage and are easily accessed from ground level.
  • 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 build up.

New and current features are built into the 836H and depending on application requirements can provide fuel savings and performance enhancements.

Linkage Regen Valve

The regen valve creates a closed loop system to ensure optimal flow to the blade lift cylinder during the blade cycle. The improved flow reduces the head-end void of the lift cylinder after lowering improving blade response and controllability.

Auto Idle Kickdown (AIK)

If an operator is not actively operating the 836H for a period of time, the AIK system will temporarily reduce the engine speed to save fuel. After an automated engine speed reduction, the system will automatically resume the engine speed to the previous setting when the operator engages the implement control pod of the F-N-R switch to the STIC Steer.

Idle Shutdown

This new feature will automatically shutdown the engine after the machine has been in a safe idling state for an extended amount of time. The operator in the cab will be audibly and visually warned before the shutdown occurs.

Impeller Clutch Torque Converter (ICTC) Left Pedal Control

The ICTC works with throttle lock to allow the operator to modulate rimpull to the wheels and slow the machine down without reducing engine speed. This allows the machine to maintain full hydraulic power for blade and steering control which gives the 836H a hydrostatic feel while keeping the benefits of the world’s most efficient and powerful drive train and powershift transmission with lock-up control system.

Best-in-Class Working Environment

A comfortable operator is a productive operator, which is why Caterpillar has designed the 836H with a best in-class working environment for this size landfill compactor.

  • World class cab with over 3.18 m3 (112 ft3) of volume incorporates features for operator comfort and ergonomics, visibility and ease of operation.
  • An updated Implement Pod is fully adjustable and designed for low-effort comfort. Switches and controls are located within easy reach of the operator.
  • Interior noise levels are reduced to a quiet 73 dB(A).
  • Auto-Blade Positioner. Remove redundancy of raising and lowering the blade every time the compactor changes direction. Auto-Blade positioner automatically raises and lowers the blade to set position. The operator can easily set blade position from a switch in the cab. Activation occurs when the machine makes a directional change and the blade joysitck has not been touched.
  • Forward, the blade goes down to the operator preset height
  • Reverse and the blade goes up
  • Optional features are available for improved visibility. They include a rear vision camera to clearly monitor movement behind the machine and high intensity discharge (HID) lights for greater visibility at night.
  • With the update, other new options include heated seat for cold weather operations and radio offerings of Bluetooth, MPS, or satellite options are now available.
  • STIC Steering System. The STIC steer controller uses a single lever for steering and transmission control. Left-hand operations enable the operator to shift and change directions without letting go of the steering controls.

Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES)

The Computer Aided Earthmoving System (CAES) is a high-technology landfill tool that allows compactor operators to achieve maximum compaction. Using Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology, machine mounted components, a radio network and office management software, this system delivers real-time information on an in-cab display. As CAES-enabled compactors are driven over the site elevation is closely monitored and recorded in a digital terrain file. Various color-coded elevation are displayed. For compactors, CAES also monitors and records the number of machine passes. With digital terrain files and recorded machine passes the operator can determine the appropriate number of passes and the level of compaction achieved.
  • How it works. The compactor display shows colored grids representing the number of compaction passes the machine has made across each area. As the compactor wheel travels over an area, the screen changes color to acknowledge the pass. Green areas indicate when optimum compaction has been reached.
  • Other benefits of CAES includes identification of site-specific storage areas for material requiring special handling and placement records, such as hazardous medical, sludge, and industrial materials.

Step Tips

The next generation Cat Step Tip boasts enhanced features to deliver dependable and reliable performance in harsh waste handling environments. The unique pyramid shape of the tip, with its individual steps and 178 mm (7 in) height, provides increased wear life. Whereas most tips are straight up and down, the wider base and angled surface of the Step Tip clear a path fro the top of the tip as it rotates, leaving the landfill surface in its compacted state instead of disturbing material as the tip exits causing less “fluffing.” In addition to superior compaction capabilities, the Step Tip also delivers greater traction, wear life, and landfill surface integrity. One way it achieves this is by increasing the number of tips per wheel from 35 to 40 which keeps compaction levels high even as the tip wears. Each tip is comprised of two ultra-durable materials to increase wear life. The upper portion, formed from carbon steels, is harder than the previous tip offering. The lower portion, made with lower carbon-content steel, allows for easy welding to the wheel. By having more tips per wheel, plus using an innovative shape and enhanced materials the next generation Cat Step Tip improves compaction and stability, even on difficult to handle side slopes.

Optional Self-Cleaning Chopper

Chopper wheels are designed to deliver maximum compaction and traction in landfill work. An aggressive chopping action is provided by 28 blades per wheel. The staggered, chevron blade arrangement evenly distributes chopping coverage and blade center gusset to help assure maximum refuse demolition. Front and rear wheel blades are mounted differently to maximize chopping and compaction in both forward and reverse.
Wheels and Tips
To provide excellent traction and compaction, the Cat 836H Landfill Compactor offers wheel and tip options to help you achieve maximum landfill life.

The 836H is designed to ensure minimal downtime through ground level or platform access, grouped service points, and attention to key serviceable areas on the machine.

  • Centralized remote pressure taps and ground level viewable site gauges on all major systems.
  • Electrical disconnect switch and hydraulic lockout switch allow service technicians to perform maintenance while the machine stays static. Other shutdown or lockout devices include ground level engine shutdown and ground level steering hitch lock lever.
  • Swing-out doors on both sides of the engine compartment provide easy access to the engine oil dipstick and filler spout, S·O·SSM ports, fuel filters, air conditioner compressor, engine oil filters, alternator, starting receptacle, air filter service indicator, coolant fill tube and ether starting aid.
  • Ecology drains for ease of service and prevention of spilling potential environmental contaminants. Ecology drains are standard on the hydraulic, engine, transmission and coolant systems.
  • Optional Swing-Out Stairway. Inspection of rear axle components and access to the engine compartment is easy with the swing-out stairways. With the updated 836H, the swing out stairs were improved with a two piece fully enclosed hinge pivot protected from trash debris for improved access.
