Overview

A Mining Industry Workhorse

The Cat® 793 Mining Truck was introduced more than three decades ago, and every model has continued to deliver excellent speed on grade, class-leading payload and long life — making it one of the most popular trucks in the mining industry. The 793D is no exception. The 793D delivers more power and performance for an increase in productivity, a class-leading empty weight that leads to optimized payload, and longer life for high operating hours, reduced costs and the opportunity to rebuild for multiple lives. The 793D is available in five configurations, making it the ideal choice for a wide variety of applications. It hauls more every load, every cycle and every shift. And it delivers a better bottom line to the most important mine in the world: yours.

  • Cat Health

    Through regular monitoring of machine conditions, mines can adopt a more proactive approach to maintenance and repair. Equipment health data is a key contributor to that approach. Data helps mines identify equipment problems long before failure.

    Accessing the right data at the right time is critical to improving operational intelligence and machine predictive analysis. Cat® MineStar™ Health helps you meet that need by connecting you to your machines and delivering that important information. The MineStar Health portfolio set consists of Connectivity Enablers that collect, convert and transmit equipment data; and Applications that visualize, analyze and report health equipment data.
