Two configuration options for the Cat C18 engine powering the 836 allow the compactor to meet local emissions regulation requirements around the world. Its advanced productivity electronic control system (APECS) transmission control helps the compactor to achieve greater momentum on grades and delivers fuel savings by carrying momentum through shift points. The Cat torque converter with lock-up clutch eliminates torque converter losses while lowering system heat and transfers more power to the ground for improved traction. New standard technologies increase machine efficiency by allowing the operator to meet compaction targets in fewer passes to save on fuel.

Engineering upgrades to the axles and transmission of the new landfill compactor help to increase durability of the heavy-duty main structures that support multiple life cycles. The new Cat ® 836 Landfill Compactor leverages Caterpillar’s decades of experience in maximizing machine performance and reliability in the harshest working environments.
