Enhanced Security for Your Website

Improve Security and Productivity on Your Mining Site Know where and when to water to reduce dust, increase visibility, and ensure track safety With automated water supply, the driver can stay focused on driving and traffic When the water tank is full, the automatic shut-off device prevents overfilling, which also increases component lifespan Monitor tank filling from the cabin The water supply system incorporates an automatic start and stop function based on the truck's speed, avoiding excessive watering at road intersections and thus enhancing safety for all vehicles on the site Traction Control System (TCS) and oil bath disc brakes are standard on all four wheels of the truck Automatic retarder control (ARC) for steep slopes
A Comfortable Cabin
Driver Comfort Thanks to its ergonomic design, the cabin of the 785D allows the driver to control all machine commands in a comfortable, productive, and secure environment. The placement of controls, levers, switches, and instruments has been designed to optimize driver productivity and reduce fatigue. Installed at the factory, integrated and durable, the cabin's ergonomic water controls are intuitive and easy to use.
Optimized Productivity

Achieve Your Production Goals Well-watered tracks have a direct impact on the cycle times of the fleet, allowing you to achieve production goals. Spend less time maintaining tracks with watering techniques that solve problems of excessive or insufficient watering. Avoid damage to dump trucks and reduce unexpected downtime by having well-watered tracks. The pump has a programmable start and automatically stops when the tank is empty, preventing damage caused by a pump running dry. The Cat 6-speed Powershift transmission with planetary gears, combined with the 3512C direct injection diesel engine, ensures constant power over a wide range of operating speeds. Its robustness guarantees a long service life between overhauls.
Efficiency And Durability

Save Water. Use Only What You Need. The Cat Water Delivery System (WDS) allows you to manage water in a cost-effective and sustainable way, enabling you to do more with less. The WDS uses an automatic start and stop function to avoid excessive watering at road intersections. The WDS provides variable water flow based on the speed of the truck for more efficient water distribution. The water cannon operates while the truck is idling, reducing fuel consumption by up to 50%.
More Tasks With Less Fuel

Reduce Your Fuel Costs We have designed our dump trucks to use less fuel, which reduces emissions and the engine's carbon footprint. Additionally, no fuel is consumed during deceleration. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM: The water cannon operates at idle, reducing fuel consumption by up to 50% during cannon operation.
Easy Maintenance
Ease of Maintenance Simplified access to daily maintenance points facilitates maintenance operations and reduces time spent on routine maintenance. Thanks to the ease of maintenance and 500-hour maintenance intervals, the machine combines a high level of availability and productivity. The maintenance platform allows access to the engine, hydraulic filters, steering hydraulic tank, and battery compartment. Access to the inside of the chassis facilitates access to the main components, simplifying their maintenance and removal. Ground-level access facilitates maintenance of tanks, filters, draining, and engine shutdown. Automatic lubrication: the automatic lubrication system reduces maintenance time by automatically and regularly lubricating the necessary components. Quick maintenance and filling center: the optional maintenance center reduces daily maintenance time through grouped quick filling connections for steering oil, gearbox oil, engine oil, and coolant. Pressure check points and S•O•S℠ ports Waterproof electrical connectors: electrical connectors are waterproof to moisture and dust. The harnesses are braided for better protection. The quick fuel filling device provides a receiver at the fuel tank level. Easily replaceable air filters
