Information

The Advisor display and VIMS™ software are important reporting tools that help you analyze:

• Productivity, haul road effi ciency, operator skill with TPMS installed
• Fuel use, cycle times, idle time
• Machine health and events

Control

From improved visibility to helpful technology, it’s never been easier to be so productive.

• Excellent visibility and clear sight lines to the haul road.
• Cat systems include features to help the operator control ground speed, engine speed, braking on grade, traction, even fuel consumption, for greater confi dence and higher productivity

Environmental Responsibility

Burning less fuel, extending the service life of components like fi lters, tires or fl uids, even using remanufactured parts, are all environmentally friendly. They are also bottom line friendly, reducing your operating costs while reducing the impact on our world.

Fuel Economy

The 777E fuel saving strategies fi nd opportunities to reduce fuel burn and fuel costs

• Meets U.S. EPA Tier 2 Equivalent emission standards
• Certifi ed for China Nonroad Stage III emission standards
• Economy Mode modifi es engine maps to take advantage of steady grades and level ground, reducing power and fuel burn
• Programmable top gear/speed to help operators maintain speed limits and save fuel
• Speed Limiting automatically selects the most fuel effi cient gear and speed for the terrain instantaneously
• Engine Idle Shutdown identifi es when the truck is in park and idles for more than a preset time and initiates engine shutdown to conserve fuel

Component Life

• Engine Oil Service Interval increased to 500 hours
• Remanufactured parts are an economical and eco-friendly alternative to new
• Castings and box-section frame construction ensure long life
• Delayed Engine Shutdown prevents hot shutdowns that can reduce component life

Performance

The 777E will haul your material faster and more effi ciently with increases in torque, new transmission controls and higher travel speeds.

• New transmission controls carry more torque through the shifts, producing faster cycle times, most noticeably on grades
• An increase in travel speed in 7th gear also helps generate faster cycle times

Updated Cat C32 ACERT™

• Seven percent more usable torque improving performance and cycle times
• Cat MEUI™ injectors improve fuel effi ciency and load response
• Excellent high-altitude capability
• The C32 ACERT is carefully balanced with vibration controls that reduce noise and protect against unnecessary harmonics
• Ground level engine shutdown switch for safety

Transmission

The ECPC (Electronic Clutch Pressure Control) Transmission with controlled throttle shifting regulates engine speed, torque converter lock-up and clutch engagement. The result is smoother shifts, reduced clutch wear and longer component life.

• Downshift Inhibitor prevents engine over speeding by keeping the transmission from downshifting until engine speed reaches the downshift point

Brakes

The front dry calipers with rear oil-cooled multiple disc brakes deliver reliable performance and control in the most extreme haul-road conditions.

Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) (optional)

ARC controls braking on grade electronically, maintaining consistent engine speed, lower fuel burn, and better control.

Engine Over Speed Protection

Electronically senses engine conditions and automatically up-shifts one gear to prevent over speeding. If over speeding occurs in the top gear, the lock-up clutch is disengaged, and the brakes are applied.

Traction Control System (TCS) (optional)

The Traction Control System controls rear wheel slip for greater traction and enhanced truck performance in poor underfoot conditions. If slippage exceeds a set limit, rear wet brakes slow the spinning wheel and torque is transferred to the tractive wheel for optimum control.

Structures

Structural Strength

The 777E frame uses a proven box-section design that resists damage from twisting loads without adding extra weight. Castings have large radii with internal reinforcing ribs to dissipate stress and move welds to lower stress areas for longer frame life.

• Mild steel used throughout frame provides fl exibility, durability and resistance to impact loads, even in cold climates, and allows for easy fi eld repairs
• The open design allows easy access to power train components, reducing removal and installation time, and lowering overall repair costs
• The integral ROPS structure is designed as an extension of the truck frame, resiliently mounted to the main frame to reduce vibration and sound

Suspension

Designed to dissipate haul road and loading impacts for longer frame life and a more comfortable ride.

• Front spindles and wheels are rigidly mounted to the cylinder rods for reliable operation and long life
• Rear wheel spindles are solid steel for longer life, and the rear suspension cylinders have been inverted to minimize contamination. These rugged cylinders use large diameter bore and low pressure nitrogen/oil design for long life with minimal maintenance

Steering

Cat integrated steering and suspension system is designed for precise steering, excellent maneuverability, minimal tire wear and superior ride control.

• The steering linkage is designed to provide good feedback to the operator
• The Cat king pin front suspension system maintains steering tolerances and tire alignment
• The steering system is separate from the main hydraulic system to prevent cross-contamination and overheating from other sources
• Main hydraulic steering system is backed by a battery powered secondary steering system that allows up to three 90° turns in case of engine failure
  - System automatically engages when needed
