What the specifications mean
The Semi U-blade is wider than the drum envelope. Use the blade corner’s turning radius when assessing congestion around trucks and the working face.
More machine capacity must be matched to incoming waste, spreading practice and available turning room. Compare the 816 where restricted access or lighter duty governs the purchase.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.
Used 836 inspection priorities
- Inspect blade-wing joints, push arms and the articulation area for repeated impact loading. Ask whether the installed blade matches the source configuration.
- Check drum and tip condition alongside striker bars, guarding and cleaning records; landfill wear is not captured by hours alone.
Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Plan workshop access around roof equipment and the wide blade. Confirm whether removal, lifting or outside servicing is part of the support arrangement.
- Treat replacement wheel groups and blade repairs as major lifecycle items, with documented condition before purchase.
