The brand new Cat 816 landfill compactors characteristic improved guarding and construction engineering to optimize uptime availability. New grouping of service factors reduces time spent on upkeep, whereas the compactor’s up to date cab design will increase operator consolation and productiveness. 

Assuaging potential harm, new body deflectors divert trash away from the body and hood enclosure. A brand new captive hinge on the service doorways prevents them from opening unintentionally to guard inside parts from contamination. These new deflectors and doorways guarantee fewer failures ensuing from the extreme nature of landfill purposes. 

As much as 12 % decrease upkeep 

The brand new 816 compactor options improved airflow know-how to scale back cleansing and upkeep. A brand new radial air filter lasts 4 occasions longer than the earlier filter, and operators are alerted to airflow blockages by an digital air inlet restriction indicator. A screened air inlet deflects trash from coming into the radiator space to assist keep correct airflow, whereas an auto-reversing fan with guide activation functionality purges particles buildup. 

Sight gauges for the coolant, transmission oil and hydraulic system present fast inspection with decreased contamination danger. Grouped hydraulic oil, cooler, gas cooler and condenser service factors, together with centralized grease factors, assist to additional decrease upkeep time. Entry to the emergency shutdown, battery disconnect and soar begin are shortly and conveniently accessed from floor degree.  

The heavy-duty primary buildings of the brand new 816 are constructed to be rebuilt, providing a number of life cycles. Reusing and rebuilding machine parts provides important financial savings in comparison with the price of shopping for new and helps to decrease complete value of possession.  

Advancing operator productiveness  

The compactor’s cab delivers higher consolation and simpler machine management for greater operator productiveness. Machine controls embrace membrane change panels, keyed ignition and electrohydraulic parking brake management change to extend effectivity. Updates to the only Cat STIC system enable for shorter, quicker cycles to scale back operator fatigue and improve efficiency. The STIC system combines steering, gear choice and different capabilities right into a single lever.  

The cab sits on isolation mounts and encompasses a new Premium Plus seat with leather-based end, compelled air heating and cooling, two-way thigh adjustment, energy lumbar and again bolster adjustment, and dynamic finish dampening for complete consolation all through the workday. Pressurized to decrease inside sounds ranges and maintain contamination and odors out, the cab options an computerized local weather management system that maintains the operator’s most well-liked temperature settings. 

Operators are stored knowledgeable about machine working situations by way of a 3G touchscreen with user-friendly interface for viewing the Important Data Administration System (VIMS) to optimize machine uptime. Fleet administration is additional improved via Cat Hyperlink know-how that gives on-line entry via VisionLink to important machine information corresponding to machine location, hours, gas consumption, idle time and diagnostic codes. Cat Compact saves on gas and machine put on and permits the operator to realize greater compaction densities via in-cab steerage, machine place reporting and accomplished go depend. The machine’s customary overview digital camera elevates security for operators and employees onsite.  

Confirmed, environment friendly powertrain  

The brand new purpose-built Cat 816 landfill compactor is powered by the field-proven Cat C7.1 engine designed for optimum gas financial system and elevated energy density. Two engine bundle choices can be found – U.S. EPA Tier 4 Ultimate/EU Stage V and Tier 3/Stage IIIA equal – for assembly native market emission customary necessities. Its Superior Productiveness Digital Management System (APECS) transmission management delivers improved shifting efficiency, achieves higher momentum on grades and saves on gas by carrying that momentum via shift factors. 

Designed particularly for Cat compactors, Paddle and Plus wheel suggestions ship excessive compaction efficiency and traction. Striker bars and out there cleaner fingers assist to maintain wheels freed from particles, so compaction is extra environment friendly and yields greater densities.
