Cat off-highway trucks add new size class to line
The Caterpillar 770 and 772 Off-Highway Trucks are designed for construction, quarry and mining applications in the 40-ton (36.3-tonne) and 50-ton (45.4-tonne) payload classes, respectively. The latter is a new size class for Cat trucks. They incorporate many new features to lower cost per ton. Each of the trucks has a new engine and radiator, enhanced transmission and brakes, and a new cab and operator station.
Caterpillar now offers dual slope and flat floor body systems with three different steel liner packages and two rubber liner packages on the 770 and 772. Five different body liner systems for the 770 and 772 enable a customer to configure a truck for the specific application.
The new trucks use the same all-new centre-mounted cab. It provides additional room, walk-in comfort, superior visibility and better ride.
A new information system, Cat Messenger, aids both maintenance technicians and operators. An optional Truck Payload Management System (TPMS) displays payload state, payload weight, loaded travel time, loaded travel distance and accumulated weight on the Cat Messenger LCD monitor. TPMS now has second gear weighing capability and 2,400-cycle storage for data analysis.
The 770 uses the Cat C15 engine, producing net power of 476 hp (355 kW). The 772F has a Cat C18 engine with ACERT Technology and delivers a net power of 535 hp (399 kW).
Automatic retarder control (ARC) is now standard on Caterpillar quarry and construction trucks.
