• Visibility is excellent with extensive mirror options, large window areas
Information
The Advisor display and VIMS™ software are important reporting tools that help you analyze:
• Productivity, haul road effi ciency, operator skill
• Fuel use, cycle times, idle time
• Machine health and events
Sustainability - The benefi ts are far reaching and economical
As you work for a more sustainable business model, the Cat® 773G can contribute in more ways than one.
Fuel and Emissions
• There are multiple fuel saving strategies on the 773G, two are economy modes that are adjustable to meet your unique production needs
• For the U.S., Tier 4 Final emission controls are conveniently low maintenance and are transparent to the operation of the truck Sound
• Operator noise is reduced by 50% using sound suppression technology in the cab
• A rubber liner option for truck bodies reduces noise levels for both the operator and spectators
Component Life
• Cat Reman parts are an economical alternative to new
• You can extend tire life using TKPH/TMPH, a feature that calculates tire loading
• Castings and box section frame construction absorb shocks and distribute loads
• A new rear axle housing holds new, robust differential gears that compliment the power and torque increases of the truck
• Hydraulic oil fi lter life is extended to 1,000 hours under normal conditions
• Autostall enables quick operating temperatures for best performance and life
• Delayed engine shutdown prevents hot shutdowns that can reduce component life
Cutting Your Fuel Costs - A strategy for lowering your cost per ton
The 773G introduces several key fuel conservation features:
• Auto Neutral Idle – as the 773G idles in a forward gear, the transmission will automatically slip in and out of a neutral state to avoid stalling the torque converter and increasing fuel consumption.
• Engine Idle Shutdown – when your G Series truck is in park and idles for more than a preset time, the truck will initiate engine shutdown to conserve fuel. This feature can be time adjusted or turned on or off according to your specific needs.
• Speed Limiting – while you can continue to gear limit your G Series trucks, Caterpillar offers speed limiting
that allows the truck to travel at a more fuel efficient engine speed and gear selection.
• Transmission Controls – New APECS transmission controls increase fuel effi ciency by maintaining momentum and speed on grade.
Economy Modes
• Standard Economy Mode – G Series has the ability to adjust engine power based on your site, fleet and economic conditions. You can manually control fuel burn by adjusting the power down between 0.5 and 15 percent.
• Adaptive Economy Mode – New for G Series – this economy mode requires a baseline for production from you using the Advisor display. As the truck transits the haul cycle, it is constantly evaluating its ability to meet your baseline in a reduced power setting. Where full power is needed, full power is applied, where reduced power works, reduced power is applied. It’s fully automatic with no special operation required.
Performance - Efficient application of power and technology
The 773G will haul your material faster and more effi ciently with increases in power and new APECS transmission controls.
• A 5% increase in power improves cycle times and grade climbing performance
• New APECS transmission controls carry more torque through the shifts, producing faster cycle times and the possibility of climbing grades in a higher gear
Traction Control
G Series introduces benefi ts to your fl eet when running in wet conditions by introducing a more responsive traction controls system.
• The system is steering sensitive to determine slip from high speed turns
• The system engages at slower speeds returning traction sooner
• The system engages sooner in the slip, potentially reducing tire wear
• The system modulates instantly between the two wheel groups for control
• Using the hydraulic service brakes facilitates the instant modulation and responsiveness

Body Options - For your applications and material types
Our truck bodies are engineered to compliment the chassis and built to haul your material for years of trouble-free performance.
In fact, Cat truck bodies are designed to let the truck perform at peak effi ciency by correctly centering and distributing the load.
Outfi tting your truck body with a steel or rubber liner may be advisable based on material type and application. If you have questions about body selection or applying liners, your Cat dealer has the tools and knowledge to help you with this decision process.
The Rubber Liner
This important factory-installed option will prolong body life in hard rock applications.
• Available for the dual slope and fl at fl oor bodies
• It will reduce shock loading for both the operator and truck
• It absorbs noise, reducing both spectator and operator sound levels
