With more body volume, the truck’s new frame is optimized for weight distribution and structural efficiency. Compared to the 775G series truck, there is nearly 30% less welding to minimize the risk of cracks and improve frame life. Less internal welding and ease of frame repairability help lower costs to maintain the new 775 over an estimated 40,000-hour truck life.
Its redesigned suspension boasts a lower center of gravity. The 775 has shown to deliver better handling than previous designs, and an updated turning radius enhances on-site maneuverability. Improving service life, the truck experiences less bouncing on the tires and driveline, and the operator feels less vibration and energy feedback into the truck.
The truck is powered by the 615-kw (825-hp) Cat C27 engine and comes in different emissions configurations to meet different global regulations. The U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/Stage V version displayed at bauma offers better fuel efficiency than previous models, with advanced electronic powertrain controls that deliver faster cycles and reduced road maintenance. The truck’s enhanced ride and handling allow for higher speeds on curves and driving in higher gears, which directly reduces fuel consumption during the cycle.
The new cab is designed for efficiency and equipped with features to automate functions. The large windows give the operator visibility to the work area and surroundings. Automatic cab temperature controls and the Cat next generation deluxe seat is designed to help to improve operator comfort.
