Caterpillar has launched the durable new Cat 707 wide-body truck that is designed for long life and high uptime availability.
The truck features a fully integrated Cat powertrain, including a Cat C13 engine, Cat automatic transmission and proprietary Cat axles.
With its 66-tonne maximum payload, the versatile new wide body truck design offers the option of standard or heavy-duty configurations and the choice of 40- or 42-m3 sizes to match the material and jobsite conditions.
Caterpillar global product specialist Angel Gonzalez says: “We have engineered our new wide body truck with a unique philosophy – it’s built to be rebuilt, offering consistent mechanical availability and longevity through a second lifecycle, which can help lower operating costs.
“With its foundation of reliable operation and a cost-effective rebuild option, the new 707 wide body has been engineered, manufactured and field-tested using the latest technologies to ensure the truck is ready for work. This is the first Cat wide body truck model in a new product family that broadens the Cat hauling systems portfolio.”
The 707 can be configured with the 400-kW Cat C13B engine to meet China Nonroad Stage IV emissions standards or the 358-kW C13, which emits equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 regulations. Both options include a standard engine brake set at a high rating. The truck’s six-speed automatic transmission can be equipped with an optional integrated hydraulic retarder. For reliability, the 707 features proprietary Cat axles, integrated Cat powertrain controllers, and Cat wiring and electric harnesses.
The fully integrated Cat powertrain components are mounted to a durable, reinforced chassis. When coupled with flexible Cat Customer Value Agreements (CVAs), customers can achieve higher uptime during the new truck’s service life, while maintaining reliable mechanical performance and longevity through a second lifecycle.
Shutting down the truck safely, a ground-level engine shut-off switch stops fuel to the engine when activated. Grouped service points help customers spend less time and money on maintenance. The new 707 wide body truck offers parts commonality with other Cat machines with common C13 engine, CX31RT transmission and common cab. LED lights provide longer life and brighter illumination with less power consumption and are more resistant to vibration and water damage.
The new Cat 707 wide body truck is available for select regions with U.S. EPA Tier 3 equivalent and China Nonroad Stage IV emissions standards. Companies can contact their Cat dealer for truck availability in the region.
