Overview
Do More with Less
Purpose-built for landfill operation, the Cat 826 delivers a level of reliability, performance, safety, operator comfort, serviceability, and efficiency that can only come from 45-plus years as an industry leader. Field-proven protection and integrated technologies provide peak availability and optimized landfill performance.
Benefits
Improved Maintenance
Make regular maintenance more convenient with accessible controls located inside the cab.
Additional Safety
Grouped ground level engine and machine controls allow for safe and easy daily maintenance.
Enhanced Operator Comfort
Comfortable cab and low effort controls with reduced vibration levels help operators work more productively throughout the day.
Features at a Glance
- OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL
-
- Flip-up armrest for easy ingress/egress.
- Keep your operators informed about machine conditions and operation with Vital Information Management System (VIMS™) 3G machine monitoring system.
- Enhanced visibility with standard rearview camera.
- Preferred temperature settings maintained with automatic climate control.
- Cat Premium Plus seat with standard features, including leather finish, forced air heating and cooling, two-way thigh adjustment, power lumbar and back bolster adjustment, and dynamic end dampening to provide total comfort throughout the workday.
- Low spectator sound levels and optional low sound packages.
- TOP-TIER SERVICE AND SUPPORT
-
- Easy access in a controlled environment; electronics bay is located inside the cab.

- Operators experience less fatigue with throttle lock to maintain engine speed.
- Equipped with Cat torque converter with lock-up clutch which eliminates torque converter (TC) losses while lowering system heat and transfers more power to the ground.
- Torque converter with lock-up clutch eliminates torque converter losses while lowering system heat. Improves travel speeds and increases fuel efficiency.
- Lock-up torque converter transfers more power to the ground and optimizes fuel efficiency in all applications.
- PRODUCTIVITY WITH TECHNOLOGY
-
- Compact technology combines advanced compaction measurement, in-cab guidance, and reporting capabilities to help you consistently meet compaction targets fast, uniformly, and in fewer passes – saving on fuel and the cost of unnecessary rework.
- Link technology (standard) provides access to machine location, hours, fuel consumption, idle time, events, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink® interface.
- Improved productivity with optional Cat Compact with Elevation Mapping.
- 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:
- Paddle Tip – High performance and less fuel burn with more traction and less weight.
- Plus Tip – Traditional design for increased side slope stability.
- Combination Tip – Both paddle and plus tips provide the best compromise of performance and fuel economy with side slope stability.
- Diamond Tip – Longest life tip on the market with reputation of reliability that is world class in the waste tip industry.
