Caterpillar 777 Mining Truck - Like Driving A Three-Storey Building | Review | Autocar India

We've driven some pretty incredible vehicles over the years at Autocar India, but even amongst those, this one stands out. It's Caterpillar's 777E mining truck, and well, look at the size of it. Shapur Kotwal makes the long hike up and into the driver's seat to tell you what it's like to pilot a block of flats on wheels.

I work as a Manufacturing engineer in Caterpillar India's Truck Assembly Facility in Thiruvallur, TN and I'm proud that this behemoth came out of our plant :) At one point, I have overseen the assembly line and it's really a moment euphoria to see this piece of beauty in action :') Various departments, it's people are responsible for this truck, directly or indirectly, and it's their continuous efforts and synergy has made it possible and staying committed to our statement: OUR SOLUTIONS HELP OUR CUSTOMERS BUILT A BETTER WORLD Kudos to Team CAT! :)

How many of you all still think that the loading deck of this monster is still smaller as compared to the monster size of its tyres?

[@nabil.ansari379]

its looks smaller but it actually its deeper in the front. The shape is made to make the center of gravity as low and centered as possible and to reduce body roll

Height of deck is low but width of deck is much more. Capacity 100 tonne!

Has a lot of space to carry your stuff around. Comes with AC, Heater & not one but TWO brakes. A very sensible top speed of 65kmph so no fear of over speeding when travelling with family.
