Cat® Large Mining Haul Trucks

IN A WORLD WHERE SINGLE-USE ITEMS, DISPOSABLE PACKAGING AND MASS CONSUMPTION IS THE ORDER OF THE DAY, CAT® MINING TRUCKS OFFER A REFRESHING APPROACH TO LONGEVITY — THEY’RE BUILT TO BE REBUILT AND HERE FOR THE LONG HAUL.

STAYING POWER

It may be common to trade automobiles every few years, however, Cat®  trucks are built for the long haul. Cat mining trucks are working around the clock and across the globe. And at some mines, the original 797 has been hauling for more than 20 years. With nearly 15,000 trucks in operation worldwide, Caterpillar is a powerful industry leader and here to stay.

Designed to outperform, out-haul and outlast the competition, Cat mining trucks have a legacy rooted in excellence and a future fueled by innovative technology. Fast forward to today’s next generation machines, a culmination of experience that comes from years of deep customer relationships combined with cutting-edge technology — and the result is game-changing safety, efficiency and reliability in a package that helps meet the most aggressive sustainability goals.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE LONG HAUL —
THROUGH COLLABORATION AND VALUED PARTNERSHIPS

Cat mining trucks have been around for generations, and each new class brings cutting-edge technology built on a foundation of industry leadership. The longevity of Cat mining trucks is no mystery — it’s a product of purpose-driven engineering, intense customer focus and technology that meets today’s industry requirements.

 

 

PARTNERS FOR THE LONG HAUL

“For more than 35 years, Caterpillar has been a valuable partner in helping mines around the world achieve their goals. And even though today’s challenges may look different, our partnership and commitment remain the same.”

— Denise Johnson, Group President for Resource Industries

ENVIRONMENTAL TECHNOLOGY & SOLUTIONS

Together with our dealers and customers, Caterpillar has developed a comprehensive portfolio of technologies and solutions to help meet a variety of customer needs — from options to address greenhouse gas reduction to finding an optimized solution to meet local regulations.

Cat Dynamic Gas Blending™ (DGB™) and Cat Trolley Assist are examples of how Cat trucks can help deliver the same level of performance while reducing emissions. Oil life extensions lower fluid consumption, and multilife rebuilds help reduce waste.

Working together, we are committed to identifying the right solutions to maximize productivity, match flexibility requirements and minimize environmental impact. As mines go deeper, the haul roads grow longer and sustainability challenges become even greater — Caterpillar will be there with our customers collaborating on ways to succeed.

 

 

BUILT TO BE REBUILT

Whether it’s a Cat dealer rebuild or Cat Reman component, Cat mining trucks are designed with rebuild in mind. To keep Cat trucks operational for decades, they must be built for the long haul. These machines are engineered to have multiple lives — with planned rebuild cycles and major component overhauls.

Being built for the future means having a New Product Introduction (NPI) process with a lifecycle strategy focused on physically reusing raw materials by rebuilding and remanufacturing. Reusing and recycling materials otherwise destined for landfills benefits customers and the environment, driving down total cost of ownership while helping meet sustainability goals.

As a bonus, Cat Reman parts often include critical engineering upgrades, enhancing both the replaced component and the total machine operation — and they’re available at a fraction of the new price.

TECHNOLOGY EVOLVES, SO DO WE

In a data-driven world, new advances happen quickly. Caterpillar keeps an eye on industry trends and partners closely with our customers to develop cutting-edge technology for some of the most remote areas in the world.

Our engineering teams look to the future when developing onboard technology for our machines. We continue to offer new upgrades and retrofits as they become available to enhance an existing truck or an older fleet. Caterpillar invests in advanced technologies that deliver quality data and analytics in real time, positively impacting every aspect of a customer’s operation.

BUILT FOR THE FUTURE

Today’s next-generation machines come standard with cellular connectivity using Product Link™ Elite, enabling assets to collect and transmit information into locally hosted or cloud-hosted applications. We also offer a dual-mode option, using cellular, satellite or Wi-Fi communications for flexibility at any site.

We’re giving customers information they need to make decisions in real time, troubleshoot maintenance issues and prevent machine failures. Our machines are built with adaptable platforms and architecture, designed for future updates and ongoing innovation. The result is improved efficiency and productivity with lower operating costs for a single machine or across an entire fleet — no matter how new or old the operation.

INNOVATION FOR THE LONG HAUL

We are committed to working with customers to find the right level of technology to suit their needs. Our Cat dealer network can partner with you to determine the level of support you need to keep your operations running at peak performance.

 

AUTONOMY AND AUTOMATION

Autonomy and automation aren't new at Caterpillar — we’ve been investing in autonomous development for more than 30 years. And Cat® MineStar™ Command is the star of the show, increasing safety and productivity on jobsites.

With the world’s largest autonomous fleet of haul trucks, it’s not surprising that Cat equipment leads the industry in automation. 

At year-end 2020, customers using Cat Command trucks had safely hauled nearly 3 billion tonnes and traveled over 100 million kilometers autonomously — significantly more than our competitors. Cat autonomous trucks are fleets of the future because of increased safety and productivity.

HISTORY OF CAT® MINING TRUCKS

Cat mining trucks have been amazing since their inception. Perhaps their most notable feature is longevity — both in terms of an individual truck’s durability and in the Cat brand itself.

1960 - 1979

Cat off-highway trucks were introduced in 1963. Since that time, each generation of Cat mining trucks has grown in stature and innovation, enabling mining customers to meet the world’s demand for mined minerals.
