The Cat® C175-20 quad turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled diesel engine has enhanced power management capability for maximum hauling performance in the most demanding mining applications.

The Cat mechanical drive power train and powershift transmission provides unmatched operating efficiency and?control on steep grades, in poor underfoot conditions and on?haul roads with high rolling resistance.

The Cat seven speed, planetary power shift transmission is matched with the C175-20 engine to deliver constant power over a wide range of operating speeds.

• Robust Design – Designed for the higher power of the C175-20 engine, the proven planetary power shift transmission is built tough.
• Long life – A dedicated oil tank and circuit provides cooler, cleaner oil for maximum performance and longer component life.

Electronically integrates machine computer systems to optimize overall power train performance, increase reliability and component life and reduce operating costs.

The Cat, oil-cooled braking system delivers reliable performance and control in extreme haul road conditions. The integrated system combines the service, secondary, parking brakes and retarding functions in the same system for optimum braking efficiency that does not burn fuel while?retarding.

The MSD II bodies are the number one choice in the mining industry. The internal body shells are designed and manufactured for superior impact and wear protection. Coupled with the Cat mine specific design process the MSD II bodies optimize the balance of payload and durability.

The 797F uses a box-section design, incorporating two forgings and 14 castings in high stress areas with deep penetrating and continuous wrap-around welds to resist damage from twisting loads without adding extra weight.

Castings account for 80 percent of the frame’s weight and are?key to providing durability in some of the world’s toughest conditions. The large radii castings are resilient to frame flexing and ensure long life.

The all new F-Series operator station is ergonomically designed for total machine control in a comfortable, productive and safe environment. All controls, levers, switches and gauges are positioned to?maximize productivity and minimize operator fatigue.

The third generation VIMS™ monitoring system provides critical health and payload data in real-time to keep the 797F performing at top production levels. Sensors throughout the machine enable VIMS to quickly exchange and monitor information from all systems. Users can view up to 10?different machine parameters at a time. Service technicians can quickly download data and generate reports in the office, shop or cab by connecting directly to the system. On-board, various levels of alerts provide operators with notification and severity of abnormal machine health conditions. Data can be used to improve effectiveness of scheduled maintenance programs, maximize component life, improve machine availability and?lower operating costs.

Information is available to monitor and enhance truck/loading tool effectiveness, improve fleet productivity and help extend the life of truck frames, tires, rims and power train components, while lowering operating and maintenance cost.

Caterpillar has been and continues to be proactive in developing mining machines that meet or exceed safety standards. Safety is an integral part of all machine and system designs.
