|
| Cat C18 MEUI Engine with ACERT Technology | The Cat C18 MEUI engine is an increased displacement version of the proven Cat 3456 engine. The C18 is U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage III emissions compliant and features a 3.5 percent horsepower increase over the previous 3456. The C18 uses ADEM™-IV (Advanced Diesel Engine Management) engine controller to manage fuel delivery and valve timing, as well as all other engine systems. |
|
| Mechanically Actuated Electronic Fuel Injection (M | MEUI is a unique system that combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection. The MEUI system is able to control injection pressure over the entire engine operating range. These features allow the C18 to have complete control over injection timing, duration and pressure. |
|
| Torque Rise | The torque curve effectively matches the transmission shift points to provide maximum efficiency. |
|
| Air-to-Air Aftercooler (ATAAC) System | The ATAAC system provides a separate cooling system for the intake manifold air. It routes hot, compressed air from the turbo and cools it with a single pass, air-to-air aluminum heat exchanger. The cooled, compressed air greatly reduces the emissions produced, meeting U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage III requirements.
- Airflow matched turbocharger with power rating helps reduce emissions
- Larger bearing area allows the engine to operate at the maximum cylinder pressure
- Higher c
|
|
| ADEM™-IV (Advanced Diesel Engine Management IV) | ADEM-IV controls the fuel injector solenoids to start and stop fuel injection.

|
| Inboard Mounted Brakes | Operating on the low-torque side of the final drive, the inboard mounted brakes require less braking force. The location of the brake disc improves axle oil circulation, promoting efficient cooling and heat dissipation. The overall result is less heat build up and a long service life. |
|
| Parking Brake | The secondary parking brake is dry disc, spring applied and oil released. It is mounted on the transmission transfer gear output shaft for manual operation. |
|
| Electronic Monitoring System | EMS-III monitors the parking brake and alerts the operator if the brake is engaged. |
|
| Wheels and Tips | The Cat 836H Landfill Compactor offers excellent traction, productivity and high compaction. | 
|

|
| Hydraulics | Well-balanced hydraulics deliver precise low-effort control and trouble-free operation. | 
|
| Electro-Hydraulic Control System | The revolutionary electro-hydraulic control system provides low-effort fingertip control. The floor-mounted control pod lever sends electrical signals to a pilot valve mounted on the front frame. This moves the sound, heat and effort caused by a hydraulic valve out of the operator’s station. |
|
| Load Sensing Steering | Machine performance is maximized directing power to the steering system only when the operator steers the machine. This allows more power to be applied to the ground when the machine is not being steered. It also helps decrease fuel consumption because the steering system does not constantly draw on the engine. |
|
| Assist or STIC Steering | Innovatively designed Assist or STIC steering offer a mechanical feedback system and a redesigned valve ratio that provide quarter-turn wheel or side-to-side STIC steering. Unlike systems that rely on steering wheel velocity to activate steering cylinders, this system directly links steering wheel or STIC position to articulation angle. This provides:
- Precise control
- Quicker response
- Dramatically reduced operator motion and effort
|
|
| Automatic Blade Positioning (ABP) | The patented ABP system is intended to lower fatigue, increase comfort and make the operator more productive. It mimics manual functions by automatically lowering the blade when the machine is shifted forward and raising it in reverse. The set points to where the blade raises and lowers can be easily changed from inside the cab. Additionally, a kick-out feature allows the operator to raise/lower the blade without having to hold the joystick in place. The operator always maintains full control of | 
|
| Assist Steering | With assist steering, steering and transmission controls are operated with one hand. Unlike traditional steering, which rotates more than one full turn, the assist steering wheel rotates approximately 50 degrees in both directions. The tilt and telescoping steering column help fit the machine to the operator. |
|
| Optional STIC Steering System | The revolutionary STIC system integrates steering and transmission into a single controller. Simple side-to-side motions of the operator’s left arm turn the machine right or left. | 
|
| Transmission Shifting | Forward, neutral or reverse shifting is controlled by the operator’s fingers, and gear selection is controlled by the operator’s thumb. |
|
| Reduced Effort | Using the STIC system reduces effort by producing a fluid motion which allows the operator to work the machine for long periods with little or no fatigue. |
|
| Electro-Hydraulic Blade Controls | The floor-mounted blade controls are adjustable fore and aft, with a height-adjustable armrest so operators of any size can find a comfortable operating position. A single lever control allows the operator to control blade functions. |
|
