2300XPC GPL9762 25

Introducing the HD785-8 Mechanical Haul Truck, a powerhouse designed for mining, quarry, and aggregate applications with a formidable rated payload of 101.6 U.S. tons. Equipped with the robust Komatsu SAA12V140E-7 engine boasting 1,140 net horsepower, this truck ensures excellent speed-on-grade performance. Notable features include a 78.5 yd³ V-shape dump body, a tight 33’2″ turning radius facilitated by MacPherson-strut-type independent suspension, and wet disc brakes on all four wheels delivering an impressive 1,770 HP of retarder-absorption capacity when descending grades.

Key Specifications:

  • 101.6 U.S. ton-rated payload with a 78.5 yd³ V-shape dump body.
  • 33’2″ turning radius due to the MacPherson-strut-type independent suspension.
  • Wet disc brakes on all four wheels providing 1,770 HP of retarder-absorption capacity for effective grade descent control.

Product Features and benefits:

  1. Auto Idle Shutdown:
    • Controls unnecessary fuel consumption by automatically stopping the engine and applying the parking brake after a set idling time (adjustable from five to 60 minutes).
  2. Selectable Operating Modes:
    • Operators can choose between Economy mode for fuel savings or Power mode for enhanced performance.
  3. Variable Horsepower Control:
    • Automatically detects whether the machine is loaded or unloaded, selecting the optimal horsepower setting for high production with low fuel consumption.
  4. Turning Radius:
    • MacPherson-strut-type independent front suspension with A-arm design for wider spacing and easy engine bay access.
    • Tight turning radius of 33′ 2″ for maneuverability and reduced material spillage.
  5. Wet Multiple-Disc Brakes and Retarder:
    • Fully hydraulic-controlled wet multiple-disc brakes on all four wheels for reliable and stable brake performance.
    • Large-capacity, continuously-oil-cooled, multiple-disc brakes function as a responsive retarder for downhill speed control.
  6. K-ATOMiCS Transmission:
    • Komatsu Advanced Transmission with Optimum Modulation Control System to reduce fuel consumption, material spillage, and provide a smoother ride by automatically selecting gear positions.
  7. Automatic Retard Speed Control (ARSC):
    • Allows the operator to set the desired downhill travel speed, with the system automatically applying the brake retarder to maintain the setting.
  8. Komatsu Traction Control System (KTCS):
    • Monitors rear wheels for slippage and automatically applies brakes independently for enhanced traction without compromising steering performance.
  9. All-Around Monitoring (KomVision):
    • Provides a 360-degree view of the surrounding work area on a dedicated monitor via a six-camera system.
  10. Integrated Payload Meter (PLM):
    • Manages payload for each hauling cycle, analyzing production volume and working conditions to enhance productivity.
  11. Ground-Level Service Center:
    • Located at the bottom of the hydraulic tank for quick preventative maintenance and servicing.
    • Accessible ports for engine oil, transmission and brake cooling oil, brake control oil, and hydraulic oil.
  12. Zero-Harm Features:
    • Lockable battery and starter isolators accessible from ground level.
    • Machine immobilization switch for safety during maintenance.
    • Emergency engine stop switch for shutting down the engine from ground level.
