Finning offers a comprehensive range of Cat® off‑highway trucks designed for high‑production hauling in demanding environments across Canada. This includes rigid off‑highway trucks for mining, quarrying, and large earthmoving applications; articulated off‑highway trucks for hauling material over rough, soft, or uneven terrain; and specialized configurations tailored for oil sands, aggregates, and heavy construction. Together, these trucks cover a wide range of payload classes and site conditions, allowing customers to match the right Cat truck to their production, haul distance, and ground requirements.

Cat® off‑highway trucks offered by Finning cover a broad range of payload capacities to match different hauling applications. Articulated trucks typically range from about 30 to 45+ tonnes, making them ideal for rough terrain and flexible hauling. Rigid off‑highway trucks span from approximately 40 tonnes up to more than 300 tonnes, supporting high‑production mining, quarrying, and large earthmoving operations. This wide payload range allows customers to select the right truck for haul distance, material density, site conditions, and production targets.

Yes. Cat® off‑highway trucks offer autonomous haulage capabilities through Cat® MineStar™ Command for hauling, primarily on large rigid mining trucks such as the Cat 793, 797, and similar ultra‑class models. This system enables fully autonomous truck operation, including loading, hauling, dumping, and returning, without onboard operators, helping mining operations improve safety, consistency, productivity, and cost per tonne. While articulated trucks are not used in fully autonomous haulage, they benefit from advanced operator‑assist and safety technologies that enhance efficiency in demanding applications.

Mechanical‑drive and electric‑drive Cat® off‑highway trucks differ in how engine power is transferred to the wheels. Mechanical‑drive trucks use a traditional drivetrain with a torque converter, transmission, drive shafts, and final drives, making them simpler in design and well suited for smaller payload classes, shorter haul cycles, and applications with frequent speed changes. Electric‑drive trucks use the diesel engine to generate electricity, which powers wheel‑mounted electric motors, delivering excellent torque control, smoother power delivery, and superior performance on long, uphill hauls. Electric‑drive systems are typically preferred in large, high‑production mining operations where efficiency, consistent speeds, and lower cost per tonne are critical.

Yes. Finning provides comprehensive support for Cat® off‑highway trucks in Canadian mining operations, including some of the most remote and demanding sites. Support includes Genuine Cat® parts supply, factory‑trained mining technicians, field and mobile service, planned maintenance and overhaul programs, condition monitoring, and fleet management solutions. Finning also works closely with mine operators on site‑specific service strategies, reliability improvement, and technology integration, helping maximize uptime, safety, and cost‑per‑tonne performance throughout the life of the haul truck fleet.
