CAT 777
On show at Hillhead this week were three big Cat machines. The 777 is one of CAT's most popular medium-sized trucks, carying around 90 tons payload. This machine and around
15 identical twins are going to the big opencast coal operation on the site of Tower Colliery, Blaenavon. Also on display was a CAT (Bucyrus) 6030 shovel, weighing 300 tons and one of 4 destined for the Tower opencast.
To put these fairly big machines in perspective, CAT's 797 dumptruck carries 300 tons and their 6090 shovel weighs a smidgen under 1000 tons.
