Power Train – Engine The Cat® C18 engine with ACERT™ Technology is built for power, reliability and efficiency for superior performance in the toughest applications. Overhead Cam. A single overhead cam is driven by gears on the front of the engine, which significantly reduce noise and vibration. Caterpillar also has added two pendulum absorbers, mounted at the front of the camshafts to further reduce noise and vibration. Pistons, Connecting Rods, Cylinder Liners.
Turbochargers. The single, waste-gated turbocharger found on the C18 engine is water-cooled to accommodate sudden hot machine shutdowns. Water cools the bearings during this event, preventing bearing seizure. The C18 engine also includes a new turbine housing and an additional spacer bearing. The addition of a spacer bearing eliminates snap rings and, therefore, reduces complexity and improves shaft motion. The turbocharger for the 772 features a titanium compression wheel.
Power Train – Transmission Cat power train delivers more power to the ground for greater productivity and lower operating costs. Lock-Up Torque Converter. Combines maximum rimpull and cushioned shifting of torque converter drive with the efficiency and performance of direct drive.
New A-Frame. The new A-frame mounts directly to the spindles. The new A-frame eliminates the “king” bolt and includes a pin and bushing style mounting, consistent with the 777 and 793. This new design is simpler to maintain and service. New Ductile Iron Spindles. A stressoptimized, ductile iron spindle is splined to the rear brakes, reducing brake pack rebuild time by up to two hours. In addition, the spindles are longer and wider with fewer seals for increased strength and durability. Brake Packs.
Structures Rugged Cat structures are the backbone of the 772 off-highway truck’s durability. Box-Section Design. The 772 frame uses a box-section design, incorporating two forgings and 13 castings in high-stress areas with deep penetrating and continuous wrap-around welds to resist damage from twisting loads without adding extra weight. • Steel Structures.
Operator’s Station Ergonomically designed for operator comfort, superior control and high productivity. All New Center-Mounted Cab. Center cab positioning provides additional room and creates a walk-in-style cab. The new configuration allows the operator to easily enter and exit the cab. The cab environment offers a spacious surrounding, giving the operator the ability to stretch out and providing superior comfort for an entire operating shift.

Body-up Shift Limiter. Prevents the transmission from shifting above a pre-programmed gear without the body being fully lowered. This function is programmable via Cat Electronic Technician (Cat ET) and Messenger. Body-up Reverse Neutralizer. Automatically shifts the transmission to neutral if the hoist lever is activated while the transmission is shifted in reverse. Overspeed Protection.
Brake System Reliable braking with superior control gives the operator the confidence to focus on productivity. Oil-Cooled Multiple Disc Brakes. Cat dry front and rear oil-cooled, multiple disc brakes are now hydraulically controlled, reducing maintenance costs. The 772 brakes provide exceptional, fade-resistant braking and retarding for maximum performance and productivity in all haul-road conditions. Extended Life Multiple Disc Brakes (Optional).
ARC 1 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 2 TCS Service Brake Sensor Engine Sensor ARC ARC Switch Brakes Service Brakes Axle Speed Sensor TCS 6 7 8 3 7 5 6 4 Parking Brake. The 772 parking brake function is provided by the spring-applied function in each of the rear oil-cooled disc brakes. The 772 parking brake is capable of holding the machine with a rated load on grades up to 15 percent. Automatic Retarder Control (ARC).
Serviceability Less time spent on maintenance means more time on the haul roads. • Transmission, Hoist and Steering Lockout Switch. The 772 features an all-new transmission, hoist and steering lockout mode. This feature disables the steering, hoist and transmission hydraulics, and sets the parking brake while the engine is running, allowing maintenance and trouble-shooting on the truck. The operator can use this feature to take S•O•SSM analysis samples. • Electrical Breakers.
Electrical Access. The 772 features a new configuration for fuses, circuit breakers and rear cab-mounted relays, enabling up to 50 percent faster servicing. A 12-Volt and 24-Volt power port are included. The automotive-style fuses, which replace the screw-in type, are all incorporated into a single enclosure that is easily accessible from inside the cab. 10-amp and 15-amp spare fuses are also included in the new design. Cat Data Link.
Truck Body Systems Cat designed and built for rugged performance and reliability in the toughest hauling applications. • Underbody ribs are increased from seven to nine, enhancing the underbody structural support. • Front wall body rest supports are integrated into the front wall structure for enhanced durability. • Full-length, single-piece stringer rails are used, improving the structural support in the body, especially in the body pivot support area.
Rubber-Lined Body System. A new offering available from the factory is the rubber-lined body system. For impact resistance in hard-rock applications, rubber liners offer a practical, durable and cost-effective solution. They dissipate impact energy, maximizing body life and reduce noise, improving job site work conditions inside and outside the cab. These maintenance-free liners also require minimal installation time.

Truck Production Management System (TPMS) (Optional). TPMS provides valuable payload and cycle time data to improve productivity. • Uses strut pressure sensors and onboard microprocessor to determine payload weight. • Delivers consistent, accurate payloads and improves efficiency by minimizing overloading and underloading. • External lights signal loading tool operator when payload is reached.
Safety Caterpillar machines and systems are designed with safety as the first priority. Brake Systems. Cat hydraulically controlled dry front and rear oil-cooled multiple disc brakes provide exceptional, fade-resistant braking and retarding for maximum performance and productivity in all haul-road conditions. The service brakes and retarding system are actuated by modulated hydraulic pressure, while secondary and parking brake functions are spring applied and hydraulic released.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull To determine gradeability performance: Read from gross weight down to the percent of total resistance. Total resistance equals actual percent grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance. From this weight-resistance point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest obtainable gear, then down to maximum speed. Usable rimpull will depend upon traction available and weight on drive wheels.
Retarding Performance To determine retarding performance: Add lengths of all downhill segments and, using this total, refer to proper retarding chart. Read from gross weight down to the percent effective grade. Effective grade equals actual % grade minus 1% for each 10 kg/t (20 lb/ton) of rolling resistance.
