"It's all there." There is simply no better way to describe the level of detail on our all brass, 1:87 scale Cat® 797 Mining Truck. If you can see it on the real machine, you will find it on this model. Our truck features a detailed cab, twin body hoists to raise and lower the dump box, authentic rubber tires, steerable front wheels, and an incredibly detailed engine and drive train. As for the real machine, it is incredible in its own right. With an operating weight of 1,314,000 pounds and a payload capacity of over 360 tons, the 797 is the largest mechanical drive mining truck in the world. It measures 23 feet from the road to the top of the dump bed and just over 47 feet in total length. This huge vehicle is powered by a 24 cylinder diesel engine that produces an amazing 3,400 gross horsepower.

The Model - Both Models are the Coal Mining Bucket Version
Each Cat 994D Wheel Loader model is fully articulated, and features a detailed engine compartment, working bucket and a fully equipped operator's cab. Z-bar loader linkage, accurate power train components, hydraulic lines, roll over protection, rubber tires, ladders and guard rails are all accurately recreated. The second model in our line of 1:87 scale Cat Mining Equipment, the 994D is another remarkable demonstration of the close collaboration between Caterpillar Inc. and Classic Construction Models.

The Machine
The CAT D11R Track Type Tractor is the largest production tractor in the world. Power from its dual turbo-charged 935hp 3508B diesel engine is more than enough to push around 45 cubic yards of dirt in its twenty-foot blade or tear through rock with its seven-foot single shank extendable ripper.  An air-conditioned cab with ergonomic seat and finger tip controls create a comfortable working environment allowing operators to get full production out of this 115-ton Goliath.
The Model
Our hand built all brass 1:87 CAT D11R is one of the most detailed models ever produced at this scale. The entire design and production process was guided by the same drawings that are used to manufacture the real machine to ensure no part or detail was overlooked. From the six-way tilt 11U-Blade, positionable ripper and individually linked free-rolling brass tracks to the complete operator cab, glazed windows with wipers, visible engine compartment and accurate hydraulic lines it is safe to say, “There is no equal.”

Total production of the D11R is limited to 711 individually serial numbered and registered models. A limited number of these models will be available in mine white or anti-glare black paint schemes.
