In 1963, we built the first Cat rigid-frame off-highway truck in Decatur, Illinois. We kept improving them, validating their performance and delivering them. Customers liked what they saw and put them to work. In 2009, we produced our 50,000th off-highway truck.

In 2011, we celebrated another big milestone: Our 10,000th large mining truck, a Cat 793F going to BHP Billiton Iron Ore in Australia.

10,000 trucks with a rated payload of 150 tons or more. All built since 1984. All built in Decatur. All built by Caterpillar.

Thank you for making us the world leader in large mining trucks!
