Cat are the last manufacturer of this kind of dump truck to make "direct drive" drivelines i.e. an engine, transmission and differential. Komatsu and Terex for example do it the same way it's done in a diesel electric locomotive; a large engine drives and equally large generator, which powers four electric motors, one on each wheel hub
@@meep-vm5tc You don't plug it in, it gets it's power directly from the engine. The engines sole job is the to turn the generator which powers the motor packs.
The 797F is also capable of Autonomous Hauling, which is a dealer order-able option that allows the vehicle to operate without a human at the wheel, using the CAT Minestar system to coordinate the vehicle routes, and operation. There are of course tons of safety measures installed as well. Learn more about it by searching Caterpillar Command for Hauling

It was an expo of big mining equipment inside the Las Vegas convention center ( Minexpo 2012) There was stuff in there a lot bigger than even this truck. Check out my Minexpo playlist and youll see.
They sure have developed and refined the technology over the years. This unit has come a long way from the early generations of haul trucks. A fine bit of engineering!
Id love to get a chance to video the heavy equipment working in the oil sands. Have you any idea how id go about it/ who to contact etc. I have all my safety stuff like h2s alive and first aid level 1 from when I worked in Canada.
To see this video is one thing, but to see them operate on hill, wide open throttle, hauling 390 tons is another... the sound of that truck is totally sick!
Mr. Gordon you are correct; the Belaz 75710 is the world's largest dump truck. Belaz is from Belarus as the name would indicate! Max payload on the Belaz 75710 is 450 tons!
Look. Belaz is sold almost only in russia, it cannot compete with Cat, Terex, Komatsu, Cat's net income is 5.68 billion, Belaz's is 158 million. Where are you from?
They use a big loader type machine that grabs the outside of the tyre. I seen them demonstrating it when I was at Minexpo but didn't get a vid of it unfortunately.

ka7wyf B hasten is correct, the 797 is much bigger than the 793. It says the payload is 400 but the coal mine I work at doesn't consider them overloaded until after 432 tons.
+ashermerkabah The 797, like many of Cats products, are built to withstand far greater payloads then what is advertised. This is done for two reasons. One, is safety. The other, is engineering. If I built a dump truck that I want to haul 400 tons, I would engineer the truck so that it could take as much as 475 to 500 tons. The reasons for this become clearer when we examine the wear and tear these machines must endure 24/7. Mining operations are brutal on these trucks. Drivers have different driving styles. The quest for the largest biggest truck rest squarely on the engineers that designe such vehicles. Catapiller is a world leader in product design. Especially as it relates to mining operations. Though there are many manufactures out there, like Hitachi, Liebherr and others, I strongly believe Catipillar does a remarkable job engineering there trucks to withstand far greater loads then are advertised. The 797 is a beast to be sure. It can swallow heaven and earth 24/7 and keep mining operations going for decades on in.🔧
jam63112 cat 797 is used the most because cost of operation versus workload. The bigger trucks are much slower, therefore less productivity at the end of the day. It's not about how much you haul per load, but how much you haul per day.
I've done it with the 797B. Slippery conditions through snow or rain it can drift like a badass but on dry terrain the most that will happen is you'll spit up some dirt.
few years back , my uncle is driving this truck for 15 years in Alberta , in his story he said that there are also woman driving this beast. incredible!
This statement is debatable. As I stated above, Catipiller engineers their product line to withstand far greater loads then what is advertised. Two reasons. Safety and engineering. Sure, the Bela might say it can carry a larger payload, but is it engineered to accept even larger payloads. Honestly, this whole discussion is rendered mute when we consider that Catapiller is a tried and true product line with decades if fulfilling mining operations across the globe. Often imitated, but rarely duplucated.🔧
+Erika Krausmann True, I love the cat haul trucks I drive. We have Unit Rigs and Komatsu's and they all suck really bad. Cats are the most comfortable and reliable of them all. You're also right about the more than advertised payloads, the 400 ton trucks actually aren't considered overloaded at my mine until 432 tons, and that's because of the rating of the bridgestone tires, not the truck necessarily. I've been overloaded a couple times in the past 2 years up to 500 tons. 502 being the most ever I've seen.

I think if you actually check out the weight of both you'll find the Cat is slightly heavier. Anyway Liebherr has a newer model now the T-284 which I have videos of on my channel similar to the ones of the Cat 797F
I bet no one has asked this. Hanging under the bed in the back there are three cables connected to two things that pivot, any idea what they are for? The way they are painted red made me think they were tie down points at first, but the way the cables are attached blows that idea. Best seen at 1:10-1:20
