Hauls More - More Efficiently and Reliably
The Cat® 798 AC electric drive truck is designed to haul more — with more efficiency, controllability, and reliability than any other electric drive truck in the marketplace. And while it may be a recent addition to the Cat ultra-class lineup, it delivers the same powerful, proven performance you expect from a Cat truck. The 798 AC delivers a payload up to 372 tonnes (410 tons), high speed on grade, easier maintenance, and excellent electric retarding and brake performance. The result? Improved productivity, high availability, and more confident operators. By hauling more every load, every cycle and every shift, it creates a low-cost-per-ton hauling operation that delivers a better bottom line.
