CARON COMPACTOR is recognized throughout the world as an industry leader due to the introduction of compaction wheels with high-alloy, replaceable "Pin-On" wheel caps. CARON wheels with Pin-On® Teeth are today marketed internationally on a full range of landfill compactors including AL-JON, BOMAG, CATERPILLAR, KOMATSU and TEREX. Other landfill products followed such as the CARON Double Semi-U® (DSU®) and Semi-U trashblades, the CARON Transfer Station wheel, vital axle and final drive guarding, as well specialized track shoes for both landfill and transfer station applications.

Caron builds wheels for:
Caron’s self-cleaning wheels with patented Pin-On teeth minimize wheel plugging. Instead of blades or tampers, Caron compactor wheels are equipped with two types of specifically designed teeth that clean themselves automatically as they compact.
Better compaction in fewer passes. Teeth and wheels remain free to chop, grind and compact a wider range of refuse without fluffing lightweight materials. Full penetration permits greater compaction density in less time. And firmly packed surfaces can reduce cover materials by as much as 30%.
The exclusive Caron design increases traction and aids stability. Caron wheels have two distinct teeth designs: (1) wedge-shaped for extra traction/compaction and (2) contour- shaped to minimize side slippage and wheel spin and increase demolition capabilities - even on slopes and grades. The exclusive Pin-On Teeth have abrasion resistant caps for long wear that can be replaced right at your site.
SHEEPSFOOT WHEELS
Proven soil compaction performance and production capabilities on earth dams with CARON Sheepsfoot Wheels. Designed to meet the criteria of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, U.S. Bureau of Reclamation and other agency specifications for water retention projects.

TAMPING WHEELS
New tamper foot and replaceable design conform to Caterpillar standards. Easily replaceable tamper caps of hardened alloy-steel slide into position from outside of wheel, and require only one weld-on the outside. This eliminates the need to crawl under machine or between wheel and machine. Worn caps are easy to replace. Just remove welds and add new caps. No frozen bolts or pins to contend with.
Conversion kits include wheels and complete cleaner arrangements to convert an 816 to an efficient 815, or an 826 to an 825. Exchange wheels, drums and feet only for the 815 and 825. Replacements tips are available.
Caron's exclusive Wheels with patented Pin-On Teeth feature precision-fit caps that lock tightly onto reusable bases and secure with hammer-in pins. Fast and simple in-field replacement eliminates pre-heating, welding and many hours of labor.
Since Caron Pin-On Teeth are not welded directly to the wheel, increases in material hardness are possible - up to 500 brinell compared to the industry standard of 400 or less - for greatly increased cap wear life. And Caron stands behind these claims: both bases and wheels offer a limited 20,000 hour wear warranty.
CARON specialized in two type of trashblades: The CARON Double-Semi-U and the CARON Semi-U Trashblade for landfill compactors and landfill crawlers.
CARON Double Semi-U® (DSU) Trashblade
Caron’s patented Double Semi-U is designed to funnel trash under the compaction wheels or bulldozer tracks when spreading refuse to reduce the amount of loose material under the center of the machine. The unique center splitter helps break up piles of refuse left by compactor tracks and allows smaller compactors to strike loads head-on rather than from the side.
CARON Semi-U (SU) Trashblade
The CARON Semi-U blade brings a new level of efficiency and versatility to the solid waste industry. The Semi-U features a wider profile with angled external wings that con- fine either refuse or soil to the blade path, reducing the window pattern left by conven- tional straight blades. In addition, the CARON Semi-U blade brings a minimum of 10% more weight than standard blades to the front of the machine where it is needed most.
CARON SEAL PROTECTION GROUP® (SPG®) FOR CAT 826G/H/K & 836G/H/K
CARON brings an extra measure of needed protection to the vulnerable axle wheel seal area with the CARON Seal Protection Group. The SPG Package is designed to help prevent wire and debris from entering the wheel inner drum - saving downtime and expensive repairs.
CENTER HINGE PIN GUARD (STAPP RING) FOR CAT 816F/F2/K 826G/H/K & 836G/H/K
CARON has developed this easily installed, inexpensive guard to protect the vulnerable lower pivot pin (in the Articulated Hitch Group) and its associated lock plate. This area of the machine has minimum ground clearance and suffers tremendous wear and a high failure rate. It is expensive and time consuming to repair and accounts for an inordinate amount of machine downtime.
The STAPP RING comes standard with Cronatron (hardening) wear coating at the extreme wear areas to provide extended life, unlike standard wear resistant steels.
As always, CARON wheels and guard groups are completely compatible with all CAT Axle Guard Groups and optional wheel cleaners. Contact us for more info: email or 800-68- CARON.
