Overview

Helping You Crush It

Purpose-built for landfill operation, the Cat 816 delivers features, performance and efficiency that come from over 50-plus years of industry leadership. Field-proven protection and integrated technologies provide peak availability and optimized landfill performance.

Benefits

IMPROVED GUARDING

Designed to protect key components and systems from damage, debris, chemicals, premature wear, or wrapping of the material around components.

LESS MAINTENANCE

Make regular maintenance more convenient with grouped service points.

ENHANCED OPERATOR COMFORT

Updated cab with quiet steering, new seat and adjustable controls helps operators work more productively throughout the day.

Features At A Glance

Improved ingress/egress with a totally redesigned cab with flip up armrest.
Keep your operators informed about machine conditions and operation with VIMS™ 3G machine monitoring system.
Safety and visibility enhanced with standard rearview camera.
Preferred temperature settings maintained with automatic climate control.
Operator productivity enhanced with new membrane switch panels, keyed ignition, and E-H parking brake switch.
Improved comfort with low operator sound levels.
Improved spectator sound levels and optional low sound packages.

Easier access and in a controlled environment; electronics bay is located inside the cab.
Focused on safety with ground level or platform access to most major components.
Ground level: emergency shutdown, battery disconnect, and jump start.
Quick visual inspection and minimize fluid contamination with sight gauges for coolant, transmission, and hydraulic oil.
Electronic air inlet restriction indicator.
Designed for ease of service and inspection.
– Hydraulic oil cooler, fuel cooler, and condenser grouped together
– Centralized grease points
Operators and technicians can resolve any problems before failure using Vital Information Management System (VIMS).

Reliable performance, long life, low emissions.
High productivity and fuel efficient.
Two engine options available that meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards or U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage IIIA equivalent.
For the Tier 4 Final and Stage V option, the Cat Clean Emissions Module contains a diesel oxidation catalyst, diesel particulate filter, and Cat Regeneration System, utilizing SCR technology.
Regeneration is completely automatic and does not interrupt the machine’s work cycle.
Experience maximum responsiveness and control with Steering and Transmission Integrated Control System (STIC™).
Conserve more fuel with the automatic engine and electrical system shutdown.
Achieve greater momentum on grades and fuel savings by carrying that momentum through the shift points with the all new Advanced Productivity Electronic Control System (APECS) transmission controls.
Operators experience less fatigue with throttle lock to maintain engine speed.

Compact technology combines advanced compaction measurement, in-cab guidance, and reporting capabilities to help you consistently meet compaction targets fast, uniformly, and in fewer passes – saving on fuel and the cost of unnecessary rework.
-Optional 3D mapping system available
Link technology (standard) provides access to machine location, hours, fuel consumption, idle time, events, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink® interface.

Designed specifically to complement Cat machines.
Improves machine performance through longer wear life and maintaining traction.
Three wheel and tip configurations are available to meet your
particular 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.
3) Combination Tip – Both paddle and plus tips provide the best compromise of performance and fuel economy with side slope stability.
