After years in the landfill, this Cat® 826H had done its job, day in and day out. Pushing, compacting and handling tough conditions without pause. It was ready for some much-deserved maintenance to return it to peak operating performance.
Cat machines are built with that option in mind. From the start, they’re an investment designed to be repaired and rebuilt—not just replaced.
This 826H went through a Cat® Certified Rebuild at Ohio Cat—a detailed process that covers every major system. Technicians diagnosed conditions of over 350 inspection points, identifying what could be reused and replacing what couldn’t.
More than 7,000 worn components were replaced with genuine Cat parts. Key systems like the powertrain and hydraulics were reconditioned. Then the machine was tested to make sure it performs the way it should.
The rebuild also created an opportunity to make improvements. The machine wasn’t just restored, it was also upgraded. Newer features and engineering updates can be added while it’s already in the shop, bringing it closer to today’s standards.
For landfill work, this is the reliability that matters. You need equipment that shows up every day and delivers. A rebuild helps you get there at 20-40% of the cost of buying new, with the added benefit of a like-new warranty.
The timelapse video tells the story best. Watch the machine come apart piece by piece, then come back together better than ever.
Once the work was complete, this 826H went back to the landfill ready to get to work again. Same machine. Same job. Back to doing what it does best.
