Products - USA - Caterpillar shows off newest models of off-road heavy duty trucks
Big CATsDecatur,GA,USA -Herald & Review, by ASHLEY RUEFF -Jul 8, 2006 : -- The new model of the 773F off-highway truck was introduced at the Caterpillar Inc. plant Saturday... Used for mining, can can reach a speed of 40.1 mph and carry 100 tons - enough hauling capacity for every one of the more than 1,300 students at MacArthur High School to pile on. It has six tires that cost $12,000 apiece and an average list price of $1.273 million... Instead of boarding the huge trucks by ladder, operators will now use a staircase to reach the cab. That was one change customers had requested to increase safety... The operator's environment was also upgraded to make it more user-friendly... It takes about a month to build a truck, with two to four trucks coming off the line a day...
