Benefits

PRODUCTIVITY

  • The 789 delivers a faster speed on grade than competitive trucks thanks to the efficient 3516E 16-cylinder engine and mechanical drivetrain.
  • Expanded tire options allow mines to take advantage of higher speeds, particularly in flat, long-haul, high-speed applications.
  • The Advanced Power Electronic Control Strategy (APECS) enables faster cycle times and faster acceleration thanks to more continuous torque and rimpull.
  • The 789 has an empty machine weight advantage, allowing it to haul more with every load, delivering a cost per ton advantage over competitive trucks.
  • Productivity-enhancing features such as Hill Start Assist with Anti-Rollback, Enhanced Traction Control, Dynamic Stability Control (DSC), Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Machine Speed Limiting and Cruise Control improve machine responsiveness and controllability while improving cycle times and reducing operator fatigue.

SAFETY

  • Wide, slip-resistant surfaces and hand rails, plus an optional powered access ladder, improve access and egress.
  • Superior control is delivered by a patented braking system that provides immediate, fade-resistant braking and retarding.
  • Visibility is enhanced by wide-angle mirrors plus an optional 360-degree Surround View camera, which offers a bird’s-eye view.
  • The Cat MineStar™ Object Detection system combines radar and camera systems to warn operators about light vehicles or stationary hazards within the immediate vicinity of their machines.
  • The optional Driver Safety System alerts the operator if fatigue or distraction are detected.

OPERATOR COMFORT

  • The cab provides 34% more operator space than D-Series models. It’s 17% wider and offers 11% more legroom and 19% more shoulder room.
  • Controls, levers and switches are positioned for ease of use.
  • With 40% less Sound Pressure Level (SPL), automated temperature control and cab filtration, operators enjoy a safer and more comfortable environment.
  • A walkthrough cab with fully adjustable center console, easy-to-adjust seat and increased leg room make the cab ideal for operators of all sizes.
  • The next generation seat is four-point-restraint ready and incorporates features like thigh tilt and extensions, air adjustable side and lumbar bolsters, and heated and cooled cushions.

OPERATOR EFFICIENCY & PRODUCTIVITY

  • Higher resolution displays improve access to information. Machine data, controls and guidance information are consolidated onto two 10-inch screens.
  • The optional Auto Hoist feature automatically raises the body and controls engine speed, simplifying operation and minimizing cycle times.
  • Speed coaching gives operators real-time feedback on how to operate the truck to maximize its productivity.
  • The payload monitoring system comes with more accurate measurements, providing immediate feedback to the operator.

SERVICEABILITY

  • The new modular HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) system improves reliability and consolidates components so the entire system can be removed and replaced quickly.
  • A modular radiator reduces engine removal and installation time and enables rebuilds to be completed off the truck.
  • New remote flash and remote troubleshooting capabilities provide immediate access to the latest software updates and make it possible to troubleshoot the machine remotely.
  • Time spent on regular maintenance procedures is reduced thanks to features such as extended service intervals; ground-level access to tanks, filters, drains and engine shutdown; easier access to daily service points as well as major components; a maintenance platform with access to the engine; and optional fast-fill service center.
  • A 100% airless electric start option eliminates air system maintenance from the machine and improves uptime.

DURABILITY AND LONG LIFE

  • The 789 frame uses a box-section design, incorporating two forgings and 21 castings in high-stress areas with deep penetrating and continuous wrap-around welds to resist damage from twisting loads without adding extra weight. The mild steel frame provides flexibility, durability and resistance to impact loads.
  • Resiliently mounted to the main frame to reduce vibration and sound, the integral ROPS is designed as an extension of the truck frame.
  • Component life is enhanced thanks to the standard rear-axle continuous filtration feature. Cleaner oil helps promote lubrication that leads to longer life
  • The frame, powertrain, engine and components are built to be rebuilt — delivering multiple lives of like-new performance at a fraction-of-new price.

CAT BODIES

  • Cat bodies are the best choice for the 789. They’re designed to be an integral part of the entire vehicle system, ensuring you achieve maximum chassis life.
  • The High Performance (HP) body features a lightweight, simplified and durable design that provides complete front machine coverage and extended overhead protection.
  • Available in several sizes, the MSD II body is ideal for mature mines with good operational and maintenance practices. It can be lined or unlined, with a site-specific body designed to maximize performance.
  • Intended for tough applications including greenfield sites and contracting mines, the Dual Slope body provides excellent load retention, maintains a low center of gravity with optimum load distribution and reduces shock loading.
  • The X Body incorporates the latest structural designs and offers more volume at a lower weight. It uses the Cat Mine Specific Design to create a body that is properly sized to meet the specific requirements of heavy-duty applications.

SUSTAINABILITY

  • The 789 is designed to use less fuel, which reduces engine emissions, and there is zero fuel burn during retarding. The Tier 4 Final engine reduces NOx and particulate matter.
  • The Cat 3516E provides emission choices: fuel-optimized engine for less regulated countries or optional engine compliant to U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final / EU Stage V emissions standards.
  • The 789 engine is compatible with diesel fuel blended with lower-carbon intensity fuels such as biofuels and renewable fuels.
  • Features like oil renewal systems, continuous rear axle filtration, extended life filters and longer maintenance intervals decrease the amount of waste contributed to the environment.
  • By rebuilding machines and components, the Cat Rebuild and Cat Reman programs preserve raw materials, conserve energy and reduce emissions.

VERSATILITY

  • The Cat 3516E engine has proven its ability to deliver high power and reliability in the most demanding mining applications.
  • The mechanical drive powertrain and power shift transmission provide unmatched efficiency and control on steep grades, in poor underfoot conditions and on haul roads with high rolling resistance.
  • Application-specific capabilities are available for extreme ambient conditions and high-altitude applications.
  • The 789 lets you select the tire offering that best matches your application, with a larger tire for flat, long, high-speed applications. The frame is designed to maintain the same turning diameter while accommodating larger tires.
  • The 789 is available in two options to meet the emissions standards. The optional Tier 4 Final engine meets the strictest standards while the LRC engine is available in those countries that are less regulated.

TECHNOLOGY SOLUTIONS

  • MineStar Fleet is a fleet monitoring system that can be used to measure, manage and maximize the overall hauling operation.
  • Additional Detect offerings include Awareness, which can provide warnings and the in-cab Driver Safety System, which intervenes when it detects fatigue or distraction.
  • Machine health and condition monitoring solutions enable a proactive approach to maintenance.
