Cat 770G

Our new G Series truck is equipped with a Cat C15 ACERT diesel engine. We recently celebrated 85 years in the engine business, and the work we've put into these U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV engines is the culmination of that experience. This C15 engine has been updated to meet global emission standards. Caterpillar equips every Tier 4 Final/Stage IV engine with industry leading electronic controls, fuel delivery, air processing and aftertreatment. The results are an engine that conserves fuel, manages emissions and facilitates greater diagnostics. For this G Series truck, engine software modifications are allowing the truck to get more work done at lower speeds and at greater fuel economy. We've balanced this change with the addition of 7% more torque for putting a greater percentage of the power to the ground. With our new transmission controls working in tandem with the engine, this truck is delivering significantly greater performance on grade and doing it more economically. One additional and significant change for G Series is the 770G's ability to work at full power in higher altitudes. This truck has a 23% increase in altitude capability, allowing it to climb to just short of 3000 meters or close to 10,000 feet without affecting performance. Here are a few additional key features of the C15:

    
• The convenience of automatic voltage charging.
    
• Key on fuel priming reducing service costs.
    
• Cold start up elevated idle for peak performance at shift start.
    
• Programmable engine idle shutdown saving fuel and reducing emissions.
    
• Delayed engine shutdown allows all systems to cool and initiate purging prior to engine shut off.
    
• The convenience of new service access points to the top of the engine.
    
• Available with an optional engine brake for long downhill grades.
    
• Fuel efficient power under all load conditions with Cat MEUI™-C fuel injectors.

Our goal in designing our Tier 4 Final/Stage IV solution was to first provide our customers with a compliant product and secondly make it simple to operate, maintain and manage. With dozens of Cat products using similar systems, we've designed parts commonality and ease of use into our solution. For the 770G specifically, you will add DEF fluid (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) to a small tank next to the fuel tank. This tank holds 27 liters fluid (approximately 6 gallons), 21 liters usable fluid of DEF and is filled at the same intervals as the fuel tank. The rest of the process is automatic and hands free to your operator. The systems and components of our solution use Selective Catalytic Reduction to control emissions, and they are purpose built for the applications you'll use them in. For cold environments, the system is heated, and for hot environments, the system is cooled. Our solution has three stages; NOx reduction in the engine is achieved by reintroducing a very small percentage of cooled exhaust gas back through the combustion chamber. With mandated low sulfur diesel fuel in today's diesel engines, the exhaust is less corrosive and poses fewer risks to engine life. Our reintroduction of an exhaust mixture lowers combustion temperatures controlling NOx production. Exhaust gases leaving the engine are first routed through a diesel particulate filter (DPF) to reduce particulate matter. The system will then control any remaining NOx by injecting diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) into the exhaust stream. This mixture will undergo selective catalytic reduction, ammonia reduction - eventually breaking down the NOx into inert nitrogen gas and water.

G Series can adjust engine power based on your individual needs. Fuel savings are achieved by reducing power between 0.15 to 15 percent during all phases of operation.

An important differentiator for Cat trucks is their outstanding brake performance. The design principle is one of long life and excellent performance in quarry, mine and earthmoving applications.

We've made significant updates to the performance capabilities of our traction control system. Our new system has:

    
• Faster response time to wheel slip by using the hydraulic service brakes, reducing spin and tire wear.
    
• Activation at slower speeds returning tractive effort sooner.
    
• A steering sensor that helps the truck differentiate between wheel slip and fast turns for accurate engagement.
    
• Constant modulation between both rear wheel groups using the hydraulic service brakes helps manage traction to the current ground conditions.

Note: TCS is optional on this machine.

The goal of our body designs is to provide rated payloads on each haul. Since no two job sites are alike, we offer two body designs, optional side boards for lightweight materials, and two liner options to protect your investment and achieve the best possible wear life.

Cat trucks are manufactured in Decatur, Illinois, where our facility has seen significant updates and is a flag ship for manufacturing at Caterpillar. Because reliability starts with clean parts, our assembly areas are in a dedicated building separate from fabricating. The assembly area is well lit, clean and contamination controlled. Our expert welders work on rotating platforms that provide ergonomic and thorough weld capability on our frames. All of our trucks are checked during design for ease of assembly, manufacture and serviceability. We follow up with process and quality checks at each assembly station using the Andon system, and additional quality inspections are made at the end of the assembly line and at the dealership before it is delivered to you.

A truck is only as productive as its operator. To that end, we have updated the 770G with some key features to help old and new operators be comfortable and confident while operating the truck.

The instrument cluster is used by the operator for quick and simple machine information at a glance. This display also warns the operator with solid lights (Category 1 Warnings) or flashing lights (Category 2 or 3 Warnings) as well as an audible alarm when an event is occurring.

Advisor display provides a larger display area and a more user-friendly operator interface. The viewable screen area of the Advisor display is 86.4 mm × 115.2 mm (3.4 in × 4.5 in).

We've made our Vital Information Management System (VIMS) standard because it's important. With VIMS on board, you can access production data, machine health and truck operation statistics. With this data you can make informed decisions on operator training, haul road efficiency and scheduled service intervals. In addition, VIMS reports on event logging, idle time and fuel use. VIMS information is available through the Advisor display inside the cab. Portals to connect and download the data are on the front bumper and inside the cab.

The Truck Payload Management System communicates to the loader operator using red and green lights to indicate when target payloads are on board. In addition, the system will store up to 2,400 payload and cycle time data points that are reported through VIMS. TKPH/TMPH calculates tire condition. It will warn the operator when the design limits are being approached, and it can be programmed to derate the truck to preserve tire life.

Caterpillar can offer you loading tools that match your application and material types as well as your production requirements. Like the 770G, these machines are designed with important input from our customers and long hours of validation in the field. Whether your individual needs require a front shovel, an excavator or a wheel loader, Caterpillar has the model size, buckets and ground engaging tools to help you load the 770G quickly and efficiently. The 770G can be reasonably pass matched with these Cat loading tools. The number of passes will be determined by bucket size and material density.

    
• Wheel Loaders: The Cat 980, 986 and 988 are ideal Cat wheel loader options for the 770G with approximately 3-4 passes each.
    
• Hydraulic Shovels: The Cat 6015 at 3 passes.
    
• Hydraulic Excavators: The Cat 374 at 4-5 passes and the Cat 390 at 3-4 passes.

Your Cat G Series truck is designed to provide operators and technicians with easy access to common service points like engine lockout, machine system lockout, fluid level sight gauges, grease fittings and access to the engine for regularly scheduled maintenance.
