Top performance.
The 789C is designed for high
production and low cost-per-ton
hauling in mining applications.
Reliable, durable operation.
Rugged construction and easy
maintenance guarantee extended
life with low operating costs.
Structures
Caterpillar truck frames are built to
resist the most severe twisting, high
impact applications. Mild steel provides
flexibility, durability and resistance to
impact loads even in cold climates. The
frame incorporates 21 castings and two
forgings in high stress areas for
increased strength and extended life.

Improved diagnostics/serviceability.
The electronic engine and transmission
controls provide enhanced diagnostic
capability. The ability to store both
active and intermittent indicators will
simplify problem diagnosis and total
repair time, resulting in improved
mechanical availability and lower
operating cost.

ROPS/FOPS Cab is standard. The cab is
resiliently mounted to the mainframe
and isolates the operator from sound
and vibration. (Sound levels are less
than 80 dB(A) in the operator
compartment as per SAE J1166 work
cycle rating.)

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine gradeability performance:
Read from gross weight down to the
percent of total resistance. Total
resistance equals actual percent grade
plus 1% for each 10 kg/t/20 lb/ton of
rolling resistance. From this weightresistance point, read horizontally to the
curve with the highest obtainable gear,
then down to maximum speed. Usable
rimpull will depend upon traction
available and weight on drive wheels.

Retarding Performance
To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all
downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper
retarding chart. Read from gross weight down to the percent
effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus
1% for each 10 kg/t/20 lb/ton of rolling resistance. From this
weight-effective grade point, read horizontally to the curve
with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum
