Features

Waste Handling Landfill Compactors

● Caterpillar designed wheels … We test and build a Cat system. Engineers who work together with our power train, structures and manufacturing engineers design and manufacture our wheels in the same facil- ity in which the machines are designed and built. This ensures the entire system is complemented by each component. If you alter components, you could com- promise a system that was designed and tested for peak performance. If a wheel is produced that does not meet our design specifications and does not balance the load over our final drives, it could reduce the life of the bearing substantially and wear out other com- ponents creating unnecessary downtime. This also allows our standard axle guard system to work with the components for which it was designed. ● Wheel and tip configurations … Three new wheel and tip configurations are available to meet your particu- lar application: 1) Paddle tip — High performance and less fuel burn with more traction and less weight. 2) Plus tip — Traditional design for increased side slope stability and more mass for longer life. 3) Combination tip — Both paddle and plus tips to give high performance with side slope stability.

Features: ● Caterpillar designed and manufactured power train … for optimum match, performance and efficiency. Responsive Cat diesel engine. Single-lever planetary power shift. All-wheel drive. ● Center-point articulation … excellent maneuverabil- ity. Front and rear drums track, so material is chopped and compacted twice each pass. ● Protective guarding … helps keep trash from dam- aging machine components. ● Cat landfill blades spread refuse and cover material … built strong to handle the wide range of refuse encountered in landfills. ● Operator comfort and convenience … sound sup- pressed cab with pressurized and filtered air circula- tion system. Adjustable suspension seat. Electronic Monitoring System and gauge package is standard. ● Striker bars … standard on all Cat Landfill Compac- tors, prevents refuse from being carried over the rear wheels.
