Grouped, ground-level engine and machine controls allow daily maintenance to be completed safely and quickly, ensuring that operators and service technicians can perform essential tasks without climbing on the machine.

Grouped controls reduce the need for operators to access hard-to-reach areas, while the standard rearview camera offers enhanced visibility, minimising blind spots. 

The machine’s design integrates intuitive controls and monitoring systems that alert operators to potential issues, reinforcing both safety and operational efficiency.

The spacious, climate-controlled cab features automatic temperature control and a Cat Premium Plus seat with a suite of customisable adjustments, including power lumbar support, thigh adjustments, and dynamic cushioning. 

Low vibration levels and reduced sound exposure, along with an optional low sound package, ensure a quieter, more comfortable work environment.

The 826 is equipped with Caterpillar’s Vital Information Management, a machine monitoring system that provides real-time data on operating conditions and performance. 

It keeps operators informed, helping to optimise compaction efficiency and maintain peak performance throughout the workday.

The Cat 826 is built with components that are engineered to withstand the rigors of landfill operations. 

From the heavy-duty frame to the compactor’s high-performance wheel tips designed to enhance traction and compaction, Caterpillar says every detail of the machine is crafted for longevity. 

Caterpillar says its integrated technologies further enhance efficiency, helping landfill operators maximise their return on investment over the machine’s lifecycle.
