Caterpillar 826H

Caterpillar put the first 826 landfill compactor to work in 1978. Since then, customers like you have helped us improve the safety, reliability and productivity of this very popular machine. Our H Series model has enhanced visibility and comfort from a new ergonomic cab. Operators have greater line of sight to areas around the machine, and with CAES installed, the 826H has the ability to be more efficient, lowering your operating costs.

Benefits and Features of the Caterpillar 826H


   Back to all Benefits and Features Categories

826H Cab
Ergonomically designed for comfort and focus

The 826H cab is designed to reduce work load, and provide a safe, comfortable work environment for those in and around the machine.

     Comfort
The cab is pressurized to keep dust out, and is sound suppressed to reduce noise levels. A precleaner can be added for extreme levels of dust. Both air conditioning and heat are standard on the machine and sized for the solar load and cab capacity. Command Control Steering (CCS) – The 826H cab comes standard with command control steering. Unlike a conventional steering wheel, CCS requires only 50 degrees of turn to fully articulate the machine. STIC Steer – STIC steer is optional, and controls steering by moving the implement control right or left. It’s a very intuitive control, and further reduces the effort required to operate the machine.

     Controls
The control pod is ergonomically designed and adjustable with finger tip control over the blade. A throttle lock feature allows the operator to set a comfortable speed without having to keep the throttle depressed. The machine comes standard with Automatic Blade Positioning technology. This technology positions the blade at a preset height every time the machine is put in a forward or reverse gear. The operator is saved from having to constantly raise and lower the blade every time they make a pass. Operators can override the system at any time.

     ROPS/FOPS
The cab is designed with roll over and falling object protection both of which are most effective when used with the retractable seat belt. Optional rubber mounted glass ensures a quick replacement to maximize machine uptime.

     Visibility
Visibility to the work area is excellent out of windows that extend almost to the floor. The windows are laminated glass and rubber mounted for safety and sound suppression. Mirrors increase visibility down the machine sides. An optional camera and display provide visibility to the rear of the machine reducing risk to people and equipment at the drop off area.
