2025 Caterpillar Mining Trucks 796 AC

The 796 AC has a high performance engine, focuses on safety, has enhanced serviceability, has a reliable AC electric drive system, has a comfortable cab, and has truck body options designed and built to provide optimal performance and reliability.

Features may include:

Safety
  • SAFETY-INFUSED
  • Wide access stairways, service platforms for the engine, traction alternator and control cabinet, four corner wet disc brakes, and industry leading retarding.
  • Radial retard grid for improved right-hand view — make the lines darker so you can see where they are pointing.
  • — Wide field of view for greater visibility.
  • — Integrated ROPS and FOPS Traction control
  • — Anti-rollback
  • — Reverse shift inhibitor
  • — Door sensor warning for park brake application
Performance
  • PROVEN IN THE FIELD
  • — Frame design: 18M+ hours
  • — C175 engine: 22M+ hours
  • — Field validation: 46,000+ hours
  • — Electric-drive system: 5M+ hours
  • HAULS MORE, HAULS FASTER
  • — Efficient design delivers higher payload
  • — Optimized drive system integration puts more power to the ground
  • SUPERIOR CONTROLLABILITY
  • Boosts operator confidence:
  • — Strong dynamic retarding
  • — Robust design empowers operator to use oil-cooled brakes regardless of speed or payload
Integration
  • BUMPER-TO-BUMPER CATERPILLAR
  • The individual components, software, systems and engine that go inside a Cat truck have different purposes, but they have one very important thing in common: They are all manufactured by Caterpillar and supported by the Cat dealer network.
  • This integration ensures that the entire truck — from body to bumper, engine to electronics — can be fully optimized to deliver the lowest cost per ton.
  • ONLY SINGLE-SOURCE ELECTRIC DRIVE TRUCK IN ITS SIZE CLASS
  • The Cat engine, AC drive system, hydraulics and controls have been integrated to make the 796 easy to operate, providing excellent slow speed control within the service areas and superior throttle response on acceleration to move out of the loading or dump areas. Integration of the engine and powertrain delivers low operating costs through electronically combined powertrain components.
  • — 100% designed, validated and built by Caterpillar
  • — Full support of Cat dealer and parts network
  • YOUR PARTNER FOR THE COMPLETE EQUIPMENT LIFECYCLE
  • No one knows more about how to get the most from a piece of Cat equipment than your local Cat dealer. This one-of-a-kind, on-the-ground support network delivers expert service, integrated solutions, after-sales support, fast and efficient parts fulfilment, world-class rebuild and remanufacturing capabilities, and more.
  • Cat dealers operate as nearly 200 local businesses — each one fully embedded in and committed to the geographic area it serves. That means you work with people you know, who know your business, and who respond on your timeframe.
Sustainability
  • MINING — FOR A — BETTER WORLD
  • Governments and regulatory agencies mandate that you establish and follow environmentally sound policies and practices as you meet the demand for mined materials. We're focused on doing our part to make sure our trucks help you meet those regulations.
