793F startup and walkaround 

I love driving the F model, where I work we have both the F and D models along with 789's. I don't mind the D models but much prefer the quiet cab of the F model and the increased power.

I prefer the 797F. They are the largest that Caterpillar builds

@@nikerailfanningttm9046 The 797F is a real monster haul truck. It is in the ultra class of mining haul trucks. The 797F is rated at 400+ tons payload. It is another CAT haul truck with an excellent track record. The main reason that the 793F is my favorite is due to its versatility, reliability, and the fact it can handle a 250 ton payload and work in a wide variety of mines. The 793 models are basically the bread and butter of the mining industry. There must be thousands of mechanics/technicians around the world that have experience working on the various 793 models.I do realize that in some mining operations you must have the massive capacity that the 797 series of haul trucks provides. It’s all about COST PER TON. That is the #1 issue for the mine owner/operator.

_Bob McCoy no

Lol

You need a ladder.😉

No it gets sucked out and no dipstick has a sight glass on sump 2 oil filters 5 fuel filters

And locomotives

@@LegoWormNoah101 yes

Cars have actually been getting larger in recent years, not smaller. But quality wise, yeah they do suck now.

Surprisingly a lot of the transmission and differential parts are made in Germany....sorry to break the news to any Americans

@@karljohnson4555 you mean ZF and Voith? However, Allison and Eaton are American made

The engine is actually a lot bigger than what’s in a train lol

@@davesendit1348 And we haven't even talked about the Cat 797. Which is even larger than this

TheArchDemon basically engines these size are just about the same as locomotive engines

Creeperboy099 false they are similar to them but 4x bigger

It pretty much is, just modified for haul use.

@@mesggdaahbf5786 No

The engine used here is a Cat C175, the EMD F125 has the same engine

The same engine is used in locomotives, in 16 and 20 cylinder configurations.

It’s actually really easy. Work on them all the time

@@log516 probably costs a lot tho

400 tons of iron and weld and bolts

It's not allowed on most mining sites...

I do at work. I drive those f models. There kinda intimidating lol. But there cant be anyone in the cab. And it needs to be in a park ditch

Yeah. I work at the Ely Robinsion mine. We have caterpillar 793-C,D,F and Komatsu 830E DC, AC-1, AC-5.

@@wyattholiday8306 yeah I used to work there. Gotta say I miss the 793s. I run 777Gs and 785Ds now, and the 793F is still my favorite...although I ran a 793C (261) mostly when I was there. I miss that mine. Hopefully I'll go back some day.

I work with these every day. My job is to wash them before they go into the shop and in order to do so I have to walk underneath it to spray mud off the underside, I’m 6’5 and can stand comfortably underneath. On all the haul trucks they have a battery box on the front, and a starter shut off switch as well as a battery shut off switch which is required both be locked and tagged out, and a wheel chock is placed under the front wheel. It’s honestly such a cool thing to walk under a machine that’s the size od a three story house. Really makes you feel tiny, in fact as a 6’5 person I barely come up to the middle of the wheel lol

I’ve never seen it happen. They sit pretty high and the frame is lower than the filters. You’d have to be trying really hard to rip the filters off

People will counterfeit anything that is profitable, even aircraft parts. A counterfeit bolt caused the crash of Partnair Flight 394 in 1989 and lead to an international crackdown on fake or stolen aviation equipment.

I had my work partner start the truck. He knew what was going on, I was in no danger. Those are the radar sensors for the object detection system.

It is

Sean Byrne this thing probably sucks the fuel up like a black hole

Mesgg Daahbf not really. Tank holds about 5000 litres and will use most of it in 24 hours under normal operating conditions.

Sean Byrne a full day of work won’t last long, I used one a bit smaller then this and it needed refueling every 2 hours

C175-16. 85 liters, 2650 hp

@@CandyCamaroZ28 thankyou 👍

We have about 20 of these trucks where I work at the BHP iron ore site in Newman, Western Australia. They carry around 230 tonnes of iron ore per load

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Whaleback_mine if you're interested :)

We have about 40 at the taconite mine I work at. I’ve been driving them for about 8 years.

We have 34 of them at Mine Canadian Malartic, biggest gold mine ( open pit ) in North America.

V16

C175-16

+TAVOR VICEROY VALDOR $4.4 million

Ya, the truck was about to undergo a major frame repair which involved removing a window plate behind the fuel tank. The shop has no crane and the tank was going to be on a side of the truck that we had no access to with a service truck or forklift once it was inside. We removed the tank outside and that it what I came up with to get the truck into the shop.

4.4 million dollar machine to be exact. LOL

@@CandyCamaroZ28 hello i'm nedd contacted whith you, i need an work and información of this equipment

Eric Anderson million dollar? More like 5 million

They hook to the rear diff of the truck when the body is raised and you're working on it, in case there's a mechanical failure and the body drops.
