Can you imagine sitting at your desk thinking that this mining truck is bigger than your whole office? Or even your house?? The Caterpillar 795F AC is the industry's first single-sourced, integrated AC drive system mining truck, and it stands over two stories high.
Just think about how you would transport or even put together this monster of a machine. This video demonstrates only a small piece of the machine being transported and the lengths gone through to accomplish getting it to the site so they can piece it all together.
