Power and Efficiency

The Eco mode allows the machine to switch to auto-shift transmission mode when the machine is not operating under maximum torque conditions in order to optimize performance and save fuel. The left pedal allows braking, neutralizing the transmission, and slowing down the engine in order to neutralize the selected engine speed when the accelerator is locked. Allows the driver to slow down when the accelerator lock is activated and reactivate it without pressing a resume or adjustment button. Electrohydraulic controls increase driver productivity through increased equipment responsiveness. Work comfortably with smooth and easy-to-use controls. The steering circuit ensures safe operation and precise control of the machine. That's why we equipped our 826K with a hydraulic load sensing steering circuit. Increased efficiency thanks to our variable displacement pumps that provide users with precise positioning to facilitate operation in tight workspaces with a 43-degree steering angle on each side. The integrated steering and transmission control system (STIC™) improves user comfort by integrating steering and transmission functions into a single controller. Includes fingertip controllable gears.
Long-term profitability and long lifespan

Designed and manufactured with specific structures to remain safe and reliable in the long term. The long-lasting design, materials, and robotic welding ensure numerous life cycles and the ability to withstand the most difficult conditions. The fully enclosed rear chassis resists both torsional forces and shocks. The extra-strong anchor points of the steering cylinders efficiently transmit steering loads to the chassis.
Performance with less fuel

Simple Clutch Shift System (SCSS) provides smooth, flexible, and efficient gear shifting. Strategic use of metallurgical and thermal treatments ensures gear longevity. The C15Cat engine is designed to provide maximum energy efficiency and higher density. The two available engine options comply with Tier4 Final/LevelIV emissions standards or emissions standards equivalent to Tier3/LevelIIIA (depending on the market). Engine electronic controls, fully integrated with the machine, for increased fuel savings. The engine idle shutdown function saves fuel during idle periods. Delayed engine shutdown optimizes lifespan.
Wheel tips designed to be high-performing

New long-lasting options for Plus and Palette shaped tips Increased service life up to 40%. Specially designed for sanitary landfills. Better machine performance. Improved traction. Select the Palette tip for better traction and increased fuel savings. Select the Plus tip for better lateral stability on slopes. Select a combination of both to optimize performance according to your conditions.
Mastery and driving comfort

The pressurized cabin is mounted on shock absorbers to improve comfort and reduce noise. The cabin includes a storage tray/meal basket strategically positioned at ground level. The Comfort Cat series III seat includes a mid-height backrest and ultra-thick padded cushions, a pneumatic suspension system, adjustable in six directions, and a control box for equipment and STIC steering mounted on the seat and moving with it for optimal comfort. The control panel provides users with information and controls for faster and safer adjustments. The single STIC control provides maximum responsiveness and control through the STIC system, combining direction selection, gear selection, and steering in a single lever.
Built-in security features

The guardrails, ladders, and non-slip surfaces improve the safety of the technician and the driver. The rear camera with in-cabin monitor informs the driver of what is happening around the machine. Reduced vibration levels for the driver thanks to the cabin's silent blocks and equipment and steering controls mounted on the seat. Low interior noise levels. Pressurized cabin with filtered air. Engine shielding and powertrain prevent debris accumulation and protect components. Front chassis protections prevent debris accumulation inside the chassis and protect components and hydraulic pipes. The axle and joint tower protection prevents materials from covering the axles and sticking to them, while facilitating cleaning when necessary. The transmission oil tube is protected to resist debris. The easily accessible fuel tank is positioned away from debris, in the front chassis. Raised radiator air intake with grille: helps reduce debris penetration in the radiator area, thus maintaining adequate air circulation, and allows debris to fall off. Scraping bars and cleaning fingers are located at the front and rear of the rear wheels and at the rear of the front wheels. The scraping bars help protect the wheels from debris, assisting the wheel tips in maintaining good compaction. In conditions of cohesive material or significant clogging, optional cleaning fingers are available to further improve wheel tip cleanliness. The roof extends beyond the cabin doors and windows to minimize debris accumulation. The suction fan cools the ambient air, providing better cooling capacity. It also pressurizes the engine compartment, preventing debris accumulation.

Reduced environmental impact

The engine idle cutoff function helps save fuel by avoiding unnecessary idling. Reduce your impact on the environment with our maintenance-free batteries. The 826K is designed to be refurbished to optimize the machine's lifespan and reduce environmental impact. Get the most out of your investment with our sustainable options, such as CatReman and CatCertifiedRebuild programs. Through these programs, remanufactured components allow for 40 to 70% savings, reducing your operating costs while also minimizing waste and minimizing the need for raw materials.
