The Ultimate Trash Crushing Machine: 🚜 CAT 826C Trash Compactor

Watch the ultimate trash crushing machine in action - the CAT 826C trash compactor! See how this powerful machine is used in landfills to crush and compact trash, making more efficient use of space. Perfect for those interested in waste management or heavy machinery.
You guys asked, so heres another video of me operating the 826C trash compactor. We head up to the landfill on a Saturday after its closed for a little trash crushing session. This particular Caterpillar 826 is an early '90s model. I'm pretty sure this one we bough from Marcel Equipment, up in London Canada. These heavy machines weigh in right around 90,000 pounds! The power of these machines is unbelievable, not only carrying their own weight but also pushing many tons of trash at a time! They are critical to landfill operations, making sure we get all the compaction we can from the waste. Operating landfill compactors is one of my favorite jobs!

Usually about every 3 years, but depends on how much wear you get

Too bad you didn't have some sort of shreddar attachment for the front of that loader. So you could shred it at the same time and get it to brake down and level off quicker.

Question Ryan how long do the pads on the compactor wheels usually last ? Thanks for the ride along 🍻🍻

@TheRealMrDigg 4 ай бұрын

Three years give or take

@speedman69420 3 ай бұрын

Im wondering, if the ladders always tear off, why don't they get a hydraulically operated or hand operated ladder which can retract so it won't get ripped off? Or why don't these compactor get a cage to protect the driver, because it could be dangerous that something could come into the cabin? Those windshields don't seem expensive but if they break often maybe a small shield with holes in it? That would be quite useful. And why can't you reuse or recycle shingles or why can't those rolls be used? They looked like they could be very easily be used. Maybe im wrong so if anyone knows if this is a good or bad idea tell me please. Anyway thanks from the Netherlands.

It’s definitely a thing. You have to get an expansion permit for your landfill if you run out of room, which is very difficult to obtain. We have about 70 years left at current rate.
