2025 Caterpillar Mining Trucks 789

Move More With Less Fuel

The Cat® 789 Mining Truck is the most popular 193-tonne (213-ton) truck in the mining industry — and for good reason. Developed specifically for high-production mining applications, the 789 simply does its job, no matter the application or conditions. It continues a legacy of durability and reliability while meeting emission standards for any location in the world. It uses less fuel, has expanded safety options and reduces maintenance downtime. It offers fast speed on grade and a high production capability thanks to a payload advantage over the competition. More than 30 new features improve performance and keep operators safe, comfortable and in control. The 789 offers the lowest cost per ton in its size class and high reliability — reducing overall owning and operating costs.

Features may include:
  • The 789 delivers a faster speed on grade than competitive trucks thanks to the efficient 3516E 16-cylinder engine and mechanical drivetrain.
  • The cab provides 34% more operator space than D-Series models. It’s 17% wider and offers 11% more legroom and 19% more shoulder room.
  • A walkthrough cab with fully adjustable center console, easy-to-adjust seat and increased leg room make the cab ideal for operators of all sizes.
  • The Auto Hoist feature automatically raises the body and controls engine speed, simplifying operation and minimizing cycle times.
  • Resiliently mounted to the main frame to reduce vibration and sound, the integral ROPS is designed as an extension of the truck frame.
