Benefits and Features of the Caterpillar 826H

Machine Guarding
Safeguarding machine uptime

Caterpillar has 40 years of experience guarding landfill compactors, starting with the 816 first built in 1970. Even the simplest detail, like a bolt shearing, can interrupt your progress, so Caterpillar offers comprehensive guarding on its compactors.
  • Power Train Guards – prevent trash build up and prevent wire, rebar and chemicals from damaging drive line components.
  • Bolt Protection – all bolts located underneath the machine are protected against shearing.
  • Cab Guarding – all hoses and wires underneath the cab are protected from damage.
  • Striker Bars are available for both the front and rear wheels. These bars prevent trash from being carried up by the wheels.
  • Cleaner Fingers for Step Tip wheels remove sticky clay and mud that would attract debris and prevent the tips from fully embedding in the waste.
  • Hydraulic Tank and Steering Cylinder Guards prevent debris damage.
  • Cat Axle Guard System – Almost nothing is worse than having wire or cable wrap around the axle. Caterpillar has a unique axle guarding system that protects final drives and wheel rims. The system keeps the area smooth to minimize snagging materials and widens the axle diameter to discourage wrapping.
  • Radiator Guard – This heavy duty option swings out to provide access to the radiator and fan, and it protects the components from large debris.
  • Cab Guard – On occasion, debris will clear the blade and climb up towards the cab window. A cab guard can redirect debris away from the front windshield.
  • Front Frame Guards – prevent trash build up inside the frame where hydraulic lines are routed. Similarly, a hitch pin retainer guard prevents damage to pin plate.
