diesel
engine
delivers
high
power
and
reliability
in
the
world’s

most
demanding
mining
applications.

Design

The
3512B
is
a
12-cylinder,
four-stroke
design
that
uses
long,

effective
power
strokes
for
more
complete
fuel
combustion

and
optimum
fuel
effi
ciency.

EPA
Compliant

Where
applicable,
the
3512B
engine
is
compliant
with
U.S.

Environmental
Protection
Agency
emission
requirements.

Altitude
Compensation

Designed
for
maximum
operating
efficiencies
at
altitudes

under
3048
m
(10,000
ft).

High
Torque
Rise

The
23
percent

on
steep
grades
and

in
rough
underfoot
conditions.
Torque
rise
effectively

matches

 Structures

Rugged
Cat
structures
are
the
backbone
of
the
785C
mining
truck’s
durability.

Box-Section
Design

The
785C
frame
uses
a
box-section
design,
incorporating

two
forgings
and
21
castings
in
high
stress
areas
with
deep

penetrating
and
continuous
wrap-around
welds
to
resist

damage
from
twisting
loads
without
adding
extra
weight.

Serviceability

The
open
box-section
frame
design
allows
easy
access
to
power

train
components,
reducing
overall
removal
and
installation

time,
and
lowering
overall
repair
costs.
The
raised
and
pinned

body
allows
excellent
access
to
the
transmission.

Steel
Structures

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.

Integral
Four-Post
ROPS
Cab

Resiliently
mounted
to
the
main
frame
to
reduce
vibration

and
sound,
the
integral
ROPS
is
designed
as
an
extension

of the
truck
frame.
The
ROPS/FOPS
structure
provides

“five-sided
protection”
for
the
operator.

Suspension
System

Designed
to
dissipate
haul
road
and
loading
impacts

for longer
frame
life
and
a
more
comfortable
ride.

Cylinders

Four
independent
self-contained,
oil
pneumatic,
variable-
rebound
suspension
cylinders
are
designed
to
absorb
shocks

in
the
most
severe
applications.

Durable
Design

Rugged
cylinders
utilize
large
diameter
bore
and
low-
pressure
nitrogen/oil
design
for
long
life
with
minimal

maintenance.

Front.
Front
cylinders
with
preset
caster

are

mounted
to

and
serve
as
steering
kingpins
for

a
tight

allow
axle
oscillation
and

Integrated
Braking
System

The
Cat
oil-cooled
braking
system
delivers

most
extreme
haul
road

conditions.
The
integrated
system
combines
the
service,

secondary,
parking
brake
and
retarding
functions
in
the

same robust
system
for
optimum
braking
effi
ciency.

Oil-Cooled
Multiple
Disc
Brakes

Cat
four-wheel,
forced
oil-cooled,
multiple
disc
service
brakes

are
continuously
cooled
by
water-to-oil
heat
exchangers
for

exceptional,
non-fade
braking
and
retarding
performance.

Extended
Life
Disc
Brakes

Cat
oil-cooled
disc
brakes
are
designed
with
large
discs

and
plates
for
reliable,
adjustment-free
operation
and

performance.
Brakes
are
completely
enclosed
and
sealed

to
prevent
contamination
and
reduce
maintenance.

Additionally,
this
machine
features
optional
extended
life

friction
material
that
has
double
the
wear
life
of
standard

brakes
and
is
twice
as
resistant
to
glazing
resulting
in
more

consistent
braking
power
with
less
noise.

Pistons

The
Caterpillar
two-piston
design
combines
the
service,

secondary,
parking
brake
and
retarding
functions
in
the

same system.
The
primary
piston
hydraulically
actuates

both
service
and
retarding
functions.
The
secondary
piston

is
spring-applied
and
held
in
the
disengaged
position
by

hydraulic
pressure.
If
hydraulic
system
pressure
drops

below
a
specified
level,
the
spring-applied
secondary

piston automatically
applies
the
brakes.

Parking
Brake

Oil-cooled,
spring-applied,
hydraulically
released
parking

brake
is
applied
to
all
four
wheels
for
superior
parking

capability
on
all
grades
up
to
15
percent.

Hydraulic
Automatic
Retarder
Control
(HARC)

Hydraulically
activated
automatic
retarder
control
system

electronically
controls
retarding
on
grade
to
maintain

optimum

rpm
and
oil
cooling.
Additional
braking

may
be
applied
using
the
manual
retarder
or
the
brake
pedal.

HARC
is

when
the
operator
applies
the

Advanced
Surface
Technology
(AST)

Advanced
Surface
Technology
(AST)
is
a
replacement
for
hard
chrome
coatings
on
some
steel
parts,
including
suspension
and

hoist
cylinder
rods.
This
technology
improves
wear
resistance
and
reduces
repair
time.
Chrome
has
been
eliminated
to
reduce

environmental
impact.

Fuel
Efficiency

The
engine
provides
additional
retarding
by
running
against
compression
on
downhill
hauls.
During
retarding
applications
the

engine
ECM
does
not
inject
fuel
into
the
cylinders
for
exceptional
fuel
economy.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To
determine
gradeability
performance:
Read
from
gross
weight
down
to
the
percent
of
total
resistance.
Total
resistance
equals

actual
percent
grade
plus
1%
for
each
10
kg/t
(20
lb/ton)
of
rolling
resistance.
From
this
weight-resistance
point,
read
horizontally

to
the
curve
with
the
highest
obtainable
gear,
then
down
to
maximum
speed.
Usable
rimpull
will
depend
upon
traction
available

and
weight
on
drive
wheels.
