Mining Trucks

The Cat® 789 Mining Truck has a history of proven performance in a wide variety of applications. It delivers the lowest cost per ton in its size class, for an overall reduction in your operating costs, along with the reliability and reduced costs that come with long life — from the engine and powertrain to the components, brakes and frame. It also delivers fast speed on grade and a high production capability thanks to a payload advantage over competitive machines. The versatile 789 offers engine options to meet regulatory standards or application-specific needs such as extreme temperatures, high altitude or areas that require sound reductions. And it features safety enhancements like diagonal stairways, wide walkways and optional powered access to protect your most important asset: your people.
