Extending the life of your current sitethrough increased compaction can bea cost-effective alternative to new sitedevelopment.

The Caterpillar 836G Landfill Compactor,the heaviest in its class, is available ina combination of wheel tip designsto provide productive and efficientcompaction in landfill applications.

Long-life Weld-on Plus Tips withExtended Abrasion-Resistant Material(ARM). Exclusive Plus-shaped designprovides superior compaction densities,excellent traction and sidehill stabilityon sloped material. A widely-spacedtip pattern, engineered to require fewertips than competitors, results in lessplugging, lower replacement costand maximum compaction. Each tipcontains more wear material thancompetitive tips.

• Proven exceptional compaction.

• Caterpillar guarantees 10,000 hoursor four years wear life.

• Lower replacement cost.

• Cat tips offer the lowest cost per hourof any compactor tips in the industry.

Self-cleaning Chopper Wheels(optional) are designed to delivermaximum compaction and tractionin landfill work.

• Aggressive chopping action isprovided by 28 blades per wheel.

• Heat-treated DH-2, Abrasion-Resistant Material steel bladesprovide longer wear.

• The staggered-chevron bladearrangement evenly distributeschopping coverage and blade centergussets help assure maximum refusedemolition.

• Blades are mounted differently onfront and rear wheels to maximizechopping and compaction in bothforward and reverse.

Smooth Wheel Option. If our tipselection does not meet your needs,consider Caterpillar smooth steel wheels.This option ensures that no matter whatlandfill tip you prefer, you get Caterpillarwheels built to our stringent specifications.Our manufacturing and researchengineers work together to design, buildand test a complete power train system.The wheels, a critical component to thetotal system, are manufactured in thesame facility as our landfill compactors.This ensures the entire system iscomplemented by each component.Altering critical components cancompromise our power train systemthat is designed for peak performance.If an off-the-shelf manufacturer’swheels are installed that do not meetour design specifications and do notbalance the load over our final drives,bearing life could be reduced substantiallyand cause premature wear out of othercomponents, resulting in unnecessarydowntime. This situation runs contraryto the Caterpillar goal to keep ourcustomers operating with maximumproductivity, performance andcompaction. This option also allowsour standard axle guard system towork with the components for whichit was designed.

Landfill FeaturesStandard and optional features are designed for heavy-duty work in wastemanagement situations.

The Cat Axle Guard System protectsfinal drives, planetaries and seals fromdamage caused by wire, cable, plasticsor other materials which can wrap orbecome packed around axle components.

• Guarding increases axle circumferenceto avert stringy materials fromwrapping and encircling the axle.

• Extended rim wheels further helpto seal out materials which clingto wheel or axle surfaces.

• Recessed bolt heads reduce snaggingof stringy or stranded materials.

• System reduces the need for periodiccleaning of axle assemblies.

The Axle Guard System is comprisedof three basic components:

• Frame bosses are first welded to the frame.

• Bolt-on guarding assemblies (1) arethen mounted onto the frame bossesand frame.

• Rim extensions complete the assemblyand are welded directly to rimsof the wheels.

A cab bottom guard (2) protects hosesand wires beneath the cab from damagedue to flying debris and waste.

Front frame guards (3) prevent trashbuild-up inside the frame that coulddamage hydraulic lines.

Optional Front Window Guard. An allnew, tubular steel guard across thebottom of the front cab glass preventslarge debris from damaging the lowerportion of the front windows.

Ground clearance has been increasedby 76 mm (3 in).

The straight blade is ideal for mostwaste management applications.

• Built to withstand the rigors of heavy-duty dozing.

• Versatile blade for most applications.

• Trash rack design provides excellentviewing and load-carrying capability.

• Design incorporates Cat cutting edges.

The U-Blade is heavier and has a largercapacity than the straight blade.

Power Train836G power train components deliver dependable, reliable performance customers expect from Cat Landfill Compactors.

1 The Caterpillar 3456 Diesel Engineis based on one of the most popularCat engines available — the 3406E.It meets U.S. Environmental ProtectionAgency Tier 2 emissions regulationsand Stage II EU Emissions Directive97/68/EC. The 3456 features481 net horsepower, compared tothe 473 horsepower available in theprevious model. The 3456 providesquick response, high productivityand exceptional service life whileimproving fuel efficiency up to17 percent.

• The 49 percent torque rise provideshigh lugging force during dozing andspreading applications and accelerationin high rimpull conditions.

– The torque curve effectivelymatches the transmission shiftpoints to provide maximumefficiency and faster cycle times.

• Two-piece articulated pistons, withforge steel crown and cast aluminumskirts, are gallery cooled by oil sprayfor improved oil control and increasedservice life. These gallery cooled steelpistons feature:

– Better ring cooling.

– Reduced emissions.

– Better performance.

– Improved fuel efficiency.

• Airflow matched turbocharger withpower rating helps reduce emissions.

• Nineteen percent more bearing areaallows the engine to operate at themaximum cylinder pressure.

• Higher cylinder pressure capabilityhelps reduce fuel consumption andimproves high altitude operation.

• Aftercooler lowers inlet chargetemperature and reduces thermalstress that can cause premature wearof pistons, rings, and liners.

• Cylinder head exhaust port sleevesreduce heat rejection, which resultsin less heat transfer into the waterjacket system.

• Advanced Diesel EngineManagement II (ADEM II) systemcontrols the fuel injector solenoidsto start and stop fuel injection. Thissystem provides automatic altitudecompensation, air filter restrictionindication, and will not allow theengine to fire until it has oil pressure— acting as cold start protection.

2 Separate engine cooling systemisolates the radiator and fan from theengine compartment, which provides:

– Lower sound levels.

– A cleaner engine compartment.

– A sloped hood for improvedviewing.

– More efficient cooling by drawingair through the side instead ofthrough the engine compartment.

• Advanced Modular Cooling System(AMOCS) improves coolingcapabilities with 10 cores usinga two-pass system.

– Coolant travels from the engineup the fan side of the cores overthe top and down the engine sideof the cores.

– With no top tank to remove and notilting of radiator guard required toremove any cores, serviceabilityis improved.

3 Caterpillar planetary, electronic,power shift transmission. Electronicshifting provides smooth, consistentshifts with finger tip controls housedin the steering system. Large diameterclutches coupled with four andfive planet gear trains provideadded durability for extended,trouble-free life.

• The programmable ControlledThrottle Shift works with thetransmission ECM to prolongtransmission life throughefficient shifting.

4 Impeller Clutch Torque Converteroffers improved rimpull controland extended tip and wheel life.The torque converter is equippedwith a lockup clutch and free wheelstator for improved fuel efficiency.

• Left pedal control allows theoperator to reduce rimpull from100 percent to 20 percent whilemaintaining high engine speed forslower controlled work withouta loss of power. After 20 percentis achieved, further pedal travelapplies the brake.

• Impeller clutch is locked in fullyengaged position for maximumengine power transfer.

• Lockup clutch provides directdrive efficiency for increasedproductivity and improved fueleconomy on long distance dozing.

5 Oil-enclosed, multiple-disc brakeson front axle provide consistentperformance and reliability throughheat rejection and easy serviceability.

• Inboard mounted brakes operateon the low-torque side of the finaldrive, requiring less braking force.The location of the brake discimproves axle oil circulation,promoting efficient cooling andheat dissipation. The overall resultis less heat build up and a longservice life.

• Parking brake is dry disc, springapplied, and oil released. It ismounted on the transmissiontransfer gear output shaft formanual operation.

• EMS II monitors the parking brakeand alerts the operator if the brakeis engaged.

Revolutionary electro-hydraulic controlsystem provides low-effort fingertipcontrol. Floor-mounted control podlever sends electrical signals to apilot valve mounted on the front frame.This moves the sound, heat and effortcaused by a hydraulic valve out of theoperator’s station.

1 Lift lines are in a higher location wheredamage from debris is less likely.

Low-effort, Assist, or STIC steeringare other results of innovative design. A new mechanical feedback systemand a redesigned valve ratio providequarter-turn wheel or side-to-side STICsteering. Unlike systems that rely onsteering wheel velocity to activatesteering cylinders, this system directlylinks steering wheel or STIC positionto articulation angle. This provides:

• Precise control.

• Quicker response.

• Dramatically reduced operatormotion and effort.

Load sensing steering maximizesmachine performance by directingpower to the steering system onlywhen the operator steers the machine.This allows more power to be appliedto the ground when the machine is notbeing steered. It also helps decreasefuel consumption because the steeringsystem does not constantly draw on the engine.

XT-3 and XT-5 hose, O-ring face seals,and large capacity lift cylinder top offthe hydraulic system, delivering theperformance and durability ownersexpect. Reliable components reducethe risk of leaks and blown lines,helping protect the environment,and reducing operating costs.

The Reversing Demand Fan is a speedcontrolled, hydraulic fan that providesmaximum cooling efficiency. Power isdirected through the fan system only whenit is needed and reverses automaticallyto purge debris. (Pressing rocker switchin cab may also manually reverse fan.)

Operator ControlsA revolutionary way to operate with easy-to-use, low-effort controls.

The 836G benefits significantly from thedramatic reduction in operator motioneffort provided by Assist steering, STICsteering, and hydraulic blade controls.These features make the 836G the easiestoperating machine in its size class.

1 Assist steering allows one handoperation of steering andtransmission controls. Unliketraditional steering, which rotatesmore than one full turn, the assiststeering wheel rotates approximately50 degrees in both directions. Tiltand telescoping steering column helpfit the machine to the operator.

2 STIC Control System (optional) is a revolutionary system thatintegrates steering and transmissioninto a single controller. Simple side-to-side motions of the operator’s leftarm turn the machine right or left.

• Transmission shifting forward,neutral or reverse is controlledby the operator’s fingers, andgear selection is controlled bythe operator’s thumb.

• Produce a fluid motion thatreduces effort and allows theoperator to work the machinefor long periods with little orno fatigue.

3 Floor-mounted electro-hydraulicblade controls are adjustable foreand aft, with a height-adjustablearmrest so that operators of anysize can find a comfortableoperating position. Single levercontrol allows operator to controlblade functions.
