• Optional Auto Hoist automatically raises the body and controls engine speed, simplifying operation and minimizing cycle times and cycle-time variations across various operators.
• Operator Speed Coaching gives operators real-time feedback on factors such as payload, grade and ground conditions to help them choose the right speed for maximum productivity and safety.
• Automatic Resistor Control senses truck conditions like grade, payload, brake oil temperature and more to automatically set an optimum resistive braking speed, which allows trucks to safely travel 3–6% faster on grade.
• Hill Start Assist uses physical grade and payload to determine the rimpull needed to keep the truck stationary and simplifies operation to move the truck in selected direction.
• Anti-Rollback stops the machine with automatic brake application when it is rolling in the opposite direction of the selected gear.
• The optional Anti-Lock Brake System reduces wheel lock and the resulting chance of an uncontrollable skid, making it easier to control the truck in braking situations with reduced traction.
• The Enhanced Tractional Control feature monitors front and rear wheel speeds, grade and machine acceleration to determine targeted rear wheel speeds, then uses that information to control rear corner brakes and limit engine torque when needed to deliver improved traction.
   

Reducing Downtime

Production is a priority on every mine site. But if machines are down, productivity isn’t possible.  For its next generation of Cat 785, 789 and 793 mining trucks, Caterpillar has reduced key contributors to downtime with features such as:

• A new modular HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system, which improves reliability and consolidates components so the entire system can be removed and replaced quickly.
• A modular radiator that reduces engine removal and installation time and enables rebuilds to be completed off the truck for reduced downtime.
• Remote Troubleshooting capabilities that reduce downtime and optimize machine performance by providing immediate access to the latest software updates and making it possible to troubleshoot the machine remotely or schedule updates when it’s most convenient to the operation.

In addition, these trucks are designed to reduce the time spent on regular maintenance procedures. Improvements in serviceability and reliability include:

• Extended-interval filters with ground-level access
• Fluid-level sight glasses
• Grouped service points
• New centralized service center option
• Extended coolant life (12,000 hours)
• Extended hydraulic and TC/transmission filter life (500 to 1,000 hours)
• Cleaner hydraulic and electrical routings
• 100% airless electric start option, which eliminates air system maintenance from the machine and improves uptime
• Ground-level filters with extended service intervals for faster, safer planned maintenance
   

Delivering More

These enhancements, and many more, are making it possible for mines to haul more— every load, every cycle and every shift.
