At this year's MINExpo, Caterpillar will be showcasing its 798 AC electric drive truck, which has a payload of 372 tonnes. It recently underwent some upgrades for improved safety and performance. Key updates include a cab refresh that incorporates drive and hoist controls into a single lever to improve operator control, a redesigned engine access door—which is easier to open and prevents tripping hazards—updated body and chassis lighting to improve visibility for users and a simplified electrical system that now has enhanced troubleshooting capabilities. The truck can also be paired with Cat MineStar Command for Hauling, an autonomous hauling solution, which the company said improves safety by removing operators from the area and has been shown to increase productivity by 30 per cent. The company will also launch its Collision Awareness System (CAS) at MINExpo, which will be demonstrated on the 798 AC and CAT 995 wheel loader. CAS is a site-wide solution that improves safety for operators by warning them ahead of time of any potential collisions or accidents that could occur.
