The new Cat® 789D incorporates new features to boost performance and productivity and to enhance safety and serviceability. A number of new options provide customers the flexibility to configure the truck for each application. The 789D builds on more than 25 years of proven performance for the 789 model, and it retains many of the proven technologies of the 789C, which the new model replaces. Its nominal payload is 181 t, an increase of 2.5% from the previous model.
