Overview
Do More with Less
The Cat® 836 Landfill Compactor is designed with heavy-duty main structures that support multiple life cycles, features a Cat C18 engine, single-lever steering, pressurized cab, and wheel/tip options that help provide extended service life. Available Cat Compact Technologies further enhance compaction performance and consistency by providing accurate compaction values and 3D mapping.
Benefits
IMPROVED PERFORMANCE
Improved operation with smoother directional shifts due to Cat locker differentials
ENHANCED TECHNOLOGY
Boost your productivity with standard technologies like Cat Compact with Pass Mapping and optional Cat Compact with Elevation Mapping
IMPROVED GUARDING
New features such as additional axle Duo-cone® seal guards, eyebrow guards, and new reversing fan guard help protect the machine from trash intake andother onsite hazards
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.

-
- 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 standard Cat Compact with Pass Mapping and 10" display.
- Slope indicate feature helps improve construction of slopes and identifies when risk for fluid cavitation occurs.
- Improved productivity with optional Cat Compact with Elevation Mapping.
- LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY
-
- Larger diameter axle shafts, the Cat locker differentials, improved duo cone labyrinth, thicker wheel at the spindle for increased strength.
- Improved final drive gear set to help reduce stress and enhance pitting life.
- Fan motor guard to help prevent bag wrapping.
- 5" higher efficiency fuel filter for cleaner fuel to the engine.
- WHEEL TIPS BUILT TO PERFORM
-
- Designed specifically to complement Cat machines.
- Improves machine performance through longer wear life and maintaining traction.
- Five 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) Plus Tip – Traditional design for increased side slope stability.
3) Combination Tip – Both paddle and plus tips help provide the best compromise of performance and fuel economy with side slope stability.
4) Diamond Tip – Longest life tip on the market with reputation of reliability that is world class in the waste tip industry.
