The latest Cat 793 Mining Truck’s high-performance body design reduces empty machine weight to increase payload capacity in addition to its low fuel consumption.
With a top speed of 60 km/h, the Cat 793 offers up to 10% faster cycle times, and it travels at a class-leading speed of 12.9 km/h (8 mph) on 10% grades and can navigate a maximum 25% grade fully loaded. Enhanced automatic retarding control selects optimum speed based on grade, payload and brake oil temperature to increase speed up to 25% during retarding.
Equally impressive is the Cat C175-16 engine powering the 793. It has more than 21 million operating field hours and can achieve over 3.8 million litres (1 million gallons) of fuel burn before overhaul. Its new Cat-enhanced oil filtration system increases engine life, eliminates cartridge filter changes and allows for extended oil change intervals.
Well connected
The Cat 793 delivers excellent connectivity with fully integrated Cat electronics to improve access to information. Trucks are shipped factory-equipped with Cat Product Link Elite with standard 4G/LTE cellular connectivity or optional dual-mode cellular/satellite or local Wi-Fi networks for reliable data transfer.
The integrated factory offers features and an autonomous haulage system, Cat MineStar Command, for hauling. It can increase truck productivity by 20%. More than 550 Cat autonomous trucks are in service and have safely hauled over 5 billion tonnes of material. These also have a fuel efficiency of around 11% more than staffed trucks.
