With offerings in both electric and mechanical drive and payloads ranging from 143 to 372 tonnes (157 to 410 tons), Caterpillar can offer a truck for every type of mining application. Cat trucks excel in the most challenging conditions — from the extreme cold and soft underfoot conditions of the Canadian Oil Sands to high-altitude, deep copper applications in South America. 

• Some can run on alternative fuels such as liquefied natural gas through Cat® Dynamic Gas Blending (DGB), a dual-fuel technology that optimizes fuel use from diesel to LNG.
• Several models are available with a high altitude arrangement — a 4x4 engine configuration that prevents deration at altitude and offers simplified maintenance and repair.
• Optimized horsepower performance makes it possible for some trucks to run in all areas of the mine — from deep pits to downhill hauls; from smooth, flat roads to areas of high rolling resistance — with the same engine.
• Application-specific capabilities are available for extreme ambient conditions such as high heat or bitter cold, while an extra quiet configuration reduces spectator sound levels.
• Expanded tire options allow some models to take advantage of higher speeds, particularly in flat long-haul high-speed applications.
• Caterpillar offers lightweight, application-specific and specialty bodies specifically tailored to a wide range of applications, along with a variety of options including tail extensions, sideboards, tumble bars, rock boxes and rock shedders.
• The complete Cat product line meets Tier 4 emissions requirements, and they’re more fuel efficient than they’ve ever been — so they produce fewer emissions.
• Every model in the lineup can be equipped to run autonomously.

While each Cat truck offers something different to every application, they all have one very important thing in common: There are all designed, engineered and manufactured by Caterpillar. This integration ensures that the entire truck can be fully optimized to deliver the highest levels of efficiency and the lowest cost per ton.

In addition, every Cat truck is backed by the global Cat dealer network. This one-of-a-kind, on-the-ground support network delivers expert service, integrated solutions, after-sales support, fast and efficient parts fulfilment, world-class rebuild and remanufacturing capabilities, and more.
