AUTHORS FOREWORD
Between June 2006 and July 2007, Australian Caterpillar dealer Hastings-Deering
commissioned a second fleet of 797B's into their territory. This guidebook documents the
preparation and assembly process for the fleet of thirty-two (32) 797B's.
Planning and procurement for this project began at least ten months prior to
commencement of the first truck assembly. It was decided to document the lessons
learnt so that subsequent 797 sites may benefit accordingly.
This guidebook contains details of tooling, procedures and checklists that have been
developed to meet specific needs.
They are included within for the readers
consideration. In each case, the local dealer took all required steps to risk assess, test
and certify where applicable. This ensured that all dealer, customer, mine specific, and
local statutory requirements have been met or exceeded. Any user of this guidebook
must also risk assess and take appropriate steps to ensure that all work practices
adopted are safe, efficient and allow adherence to any manufacturers guidelines.
Caterpillar offers this document for informational purposes only. The document contains
information that was developed by and helpful to one dealer, and is not meant to be an
all-inclusive guide for every dealer. Each dealer is, as always, responsible for all
aspects of their business, including all aspects that may impact the health and safety of
employees, visitors and customers, and all aspects of legal compliance. The information
contained in the document does not constitute legal advice. This document is also not a
contract, and nothing in this document is meant to alter or modify any agreement or
contract between Caterpillar and any of its dealers.
Special mention must be made of Hastings Deering Australia for their willingness to
share the information contained within. Thanks to the entire assembly crew and in
particular, we wish to recognize the following contributors to this book:

Introduction
This Guidebook is intended for those dealers who have received a customer order for
797Bs and are beginning the planning stages for on-site truck assembly and
commissioning.
The Guidebook documents four main phases, namely:
1. Assembly Pad & Resource Planning
2. Assembly Pad Preparation
3. 797B Assembly Process
4. 797B Commissioning Process
The guide aims to:
Streamline dealer processes & reduce costs to the dealer for 797B assembly site
set-up,
Improve efficiency of 797B on-site assembly & commissioning,
Optimise 797B build quality (highest quality to the customer)
Document Assembly Pad considerations (eg area required per truck, suggested
layout etc),
Document resources required at site assembly pad, and
Present some lessons that have been learnt by others
Included is a high-level guide to assist the user in knowing what questions to ask and
what things must be kept in mind. It is not meant to be an all-inclusive guide. It will
provide some information and also direct the reader to sites with more information.
Please contact the local district office for any additional information not covered in this
guidebook.
The Special Instruction for 797B Assembly (REHS1507) should be read in its
entirety by anyone planning for the assembly site and assembly process.
Please note that the Greenfield Guidebook will be a useful document to compliment this
guidebook for a greenfield mine site. Go to:
https://catminer.cat.com/cda/components/securedFile/displaySecuredFileServletJSP?file
Id=351949&languageId=7
In a Greenfield site, many of the preparation phases for the whole site will coincide with
the planning for the truck assembly and commissioning. Here they are considered as
two separate functions.
Generally, where you see a term in italics font, it will be defined further in the Glossary of
Terms.

Viewing the above project plan allows for an informed decision on how many trucks will
or should be in process at any given time on the Assembly Pad.
In this example, we see that at the snapshot of time denoted by A there would be 5
chassis on the assembly pad, with only a very small overlap between the planned arrival
of Truck 5 and the expected delivery of Truck 1 to the customer.
Likewise, at the time snapshot denoted by B, there would be 6 chassis on site, again
with a few instances of small overlap.
Conversely, at the moments of time denoted by the green arrows ( ), there is expected
to be only 2 or 3 chassis on the assembly pad.
It then becomes a dealership decision on the number of resources to commit. That is, do
we set-up human resources, tooling, assembly pad space and so on to cater for assembly
of six (6) trucks as per point B. In this case, wed suggest not.
In this actual scenario, the site team elected to set-up for 3 trucks in-assembly-process at
any one time (effectively three build crews managed by the Site Leading Hand, Site
Coordinator and Implementation Manager team refer to Chart 3). The assembly pad
site did have the luxury of sufficient space for storage of additional chassis.
Customer delivery expectation and potential late delivery penalties may also influence
the strategy adopted here.
Here we are referring specifically to the project plan for the Assembly Pad & Resource

The Asset Register for any given operation may differ for many reasons. This guidebook
does not intend to provide a definitive list of assets, nor identify mandatory specifications
for any of the individual assets. Rather, we aim to provide a sample asset register that
may be used as a checklist for any dealer to add to, or alter to suit.

(5) Black coal competencies (licenses for plant): The Queensland Mining Industry
requires that employees successfully complete the Black Coal Competencies before
operating any heavy mobile plant on a coal mine site.
(6) S1, S2, S3 Supervisory skill certification: This course was completed through the
local Queensland Department of TAFE in order to enhance site personnel supervisory
skills (mandatory for supervisors).
(7) 797B specific training: This refers to any formal 797 specific training, whether it be
service training or otherwise.
1.5
It is likely that site will utilize the services of local contractors during the set-up,
assembly and commissioning phases of the project. Table 2 above indicates the
minimum training requirements for contractors to work on this site. Hastings-Deerings
SMP also outlines the safety requirements for contractors on-site. The mine will also
have their site-specific requirements. These must be assessed in their entirety at any site.
At this project site, contractor services included (but were not necessarily limited to):
Contractors for site set-up (eg electricians, plumbers, fencing contractors etc),
For fitting Fire Suppression mine spec extra,
For conducting Sound Tests on the assembled 797Bs,
Painting,
Installation and testing of the Minestar (or similar system).
1.6
Here we talk briefly about area required, site layout and compaction of the assembly area.
If suitable space at the assembly pad is limited, then determination of the space required
becomes a critical step. In most on-site assembly pads, space will probably be abundant
and therefore not of great concern.
1.6.1 Size of Assembly Pad & Pad Layout
The size of the pad may be influenced by each of the following:
- Number of trucks on the pad at any given time. This was discussed above in
Section 1.1.3.
- Storage area for any chassis awaiting assembly
- Area dedicated for Parts Layout (note that the assembly Special Instruction
REHS1507 includes a recommended parts layout plan)
- Lifting Plan (as discussed in Section 1.2) will influence the amount of area
required around the chassis and around component storage areas. This may

vary depending upon the size of cranes, turn circles of forklifts to be used and
so on). The lifting contractor should be able to advise on this
The chosen pad layout
Size of buildings and facilities for the crew
Available space
Appendix 1E includes a basic plan of the assembly pad layout with overall dimensions
included. The photo below shows the layout of the buildings and assembly areas during
the assembly of the first two 797Bs. The site was not limited for space so this allowed
ample area for component storage and for additional chassis that arrived later in the
build sequence (refer again to Charts 2 and 6).
Additional storage containers were
later placed nearer the site offices.
Refer photo on front cover.
Template 6: Initial Assembly Pad Layout depicting the first two trucks in process
In hindsight, if site were to make 3 changes to the assembly site set up, they would have
been:
Underground services or specific service points. This would have reduced the
need to run cables, electric and air lines over the pad surface. This would
improve safety and also have eliminated the time involved in laying out lines,
marking them with witchs hats and then packing up the lines afterwards.
Concrete pads for assembly, as opposed to the compacted dirt and gravel surface.
Provided shade for employees (temperatures are consistently 35+ degrees C in
summer time, with high levels of UV.)

Template 7 below shows the initial orientation of chassis on the build pad used for the
first few trucks being assembled. For purposes of lift plan the orientation of chassis
were changed to be at a 45-degree angle to the assembly pad boundary fences (refer to
Template 8). Consultation with your lifting contractors should allow you to arrive at the
best chassis orientation for your site and material handling gear.

completed 797 trucks, the working surface of the Assembly Pad needs to be compact,
stable and able to reasonably withstand adverse weather conditions. For sites that will
not have concrete working surfaces, there are many different variables (climate, soil type,
crane type etc) that may affect the desirable compaction at a given site. We do not intend
Rather, included below are the soil type and compaction rates that have served well for
Hastings-Deering.
The sites Mine Planning Department should be able to provide adequate information on
the soil type and advise upon the compaction rates required. The dealer should have
discussed with the customer as to who is responsible for leveling and soil compaction
works.
A soil testing and building engineering firm was consulted to perform Dynamic Cone
Penetrometer (DCP) testing on the pad. Using the information provided by site on the
weights of components and machines, the report deemed that the erection pads would be
482kPa (allowable bearing capacity). A lesser strength area surrounding the main work
The compacted surface performed very well for the entire build sequence. Conditions at
site are predominantly dry all year round, though heavy rains are experienced
sporadically. The surface handled the water well and tended not to deform. Given that
the work surface was compacted earth and gravel, it held up as well as could have been
expected. Nonetheless, as was noted earlier, the site team believes that a concrete build
surface would have been ideal and justifiable given the 32 truck fleet size. Obviously,
the dealer management would have required a capital expenditure justification for
installing concrete pads from the start of the project. Together with providing an ideal
working surface, concrete assembly areas would have benefited Contamination Control

There is nothing more important on the assembly pad than the safety of the employees
and visitors.
Hastings Deering employed the services of an external consulting firm to document a
comprehensive Safety Management Plan (SMP). The SMP is not provided within this

2.1
In the instance of Hastings-Deering, the work order administrative functions (as well as
warranty functions) were performed at the local dealer branch store. The assembly pad
fitters completed service sheets and provided these to the Site Leading Hand. These were
then sent on to the local dealer branch for processing.
Appendix 2A shows the Work Order structure used at the project site.
2.1.1 Coding of Defects for Warranty Claims:
Please consult with your dealer Warranty department and Decaturs commissioning team
to verify the correct coding procedures for any warranty claims.
2.2
It can be seen in appendix 2A that Mine Spec extras amounted to ~80 segments on each
work order.
As such, it is critical that the tasks to be performed within each of these segments are well
defined, scoped and planned in advance of the first trucks arrival. This may incorporate:
Customer agreement to the details of the Mine Spec extras plus a sign-off
procedure established with a customer representative
Engineering Drawings
Risk Assessments
Contractor agreements
Component research and procurement
JSA (Job Safety Analysis) preparations
Parts inventory planning and procurement
Forewarning any engineering firms and suppliers of the quantity and required
dates for all mine extra components. Ensure that they have the planning
capability to cater for your site needs.

2.3
PROCUREMENT
We saw earlier in section 1.1.5 and Appendix 1A an example of the resource project plan
used at the site. Section 1.3 and appendices 1C and 1D provided us with a Register of
Assets.
The procurement of all of these items is critically important to the success of the project
and for sites ability to meet to delivery deadlines on the first trucks that arrive at site.
Plan well ahead to get quotations and understand lead times. Your dealership may have
set procurement guidelines that need to be considered.
Your site will almost certainly also rely on local engineering firms to fabricate some of
the mine spec extras as per the engineering drawings that have been developed and risk
assessed. Ensure that these engineering shops have adequate forewarning and planning
capability to handle the quantity of raw materials and engineering requirements.
2.4
Almost all of the parts required for assembly of the standard Caterpillar spec truck will
arrive at site from the factory. Obviously consumables, PPE (Personal Protective
Equipment) and other required supplies will need to be held in the onsite inventory.
However, the bulk of the onsite inventory will be for the Mine Spec extras.

3. 797B ASSEMBLY
The 797B Field Assembly Special Instruction (REHS1507) is available through SIS
Windows subscription or SISWEB. Paper copies of the instructions can be ordered
through Media Logistics. Procedures and recommendations described in these special
instructions should be followed during assembling and commissioning of the products.
Most of the tools, supplies, equipment and materials required for assembly and
commissioning are listed in the Special Instruction. At the time of negotiations with the
customer, dealers need to be aware of additional cost factors, which may be incurred
during the assembling and commissioning process. If ignored, these cost factors may
negatively affect the bottom line. It is a dealers responsibility to evaluate which of the
following factors should be included into a deal:
Crane Rental Cost
Electricity & Lighting Cost
Air Conditioner Service
Lifting Cables, Slings, Chains
Manpower Transportation
Manpower Meal and Lodging
Security
Communication Systems

All printed copies are uncontrolled.
27
Contamination Control (CC) procedures and practices are also paramount during the
assembly process, especially given that assembly is quite likely to take place in the open.
All precautions should be taken to avoid contaminant entry into machine components and
systems.
https://catminer.cat.com/cda/layout?m=3590&x=7
Your local Caterpillar District Office should also be able to provide guidance relating to
CC practices.
3.2
In order to manage the health and component life of a new 797 fleet, it is imperative to
have comprehensive component records. Appendix 3A includes an Excel file for
capturing vital component information.
3.3
ASSEMBLY CHECKLISTS
Appendix 3B includes an assembly checklist for use during the 797B Assembly process.
Appendix 4C includes the 797B Start-Up Checklist.
Further, REHS1507 acts as its own form of checklist.
3.4
Each dealership will also need to create their collection of JSA (Job Safety Analysis)
documents. These will be specific to local site regulations or statutory requirements,
however an example JSA is included in Appendix 1G.
3.5
The purpose of this section is to show some of the additional tooling built by HastingsDeering. These are not essential for the purpose of 797B assembly, but like HastingsDeering, you may find them beneficial to the build process.
The dealer and lifting contractor developed the tools that are pictured below. These were
fabricated by site or by third party engineering firms and had the required load testing
and all necessary certifications applied. Any other dealers intending to build their own
specialist tooling should have it properly tested and certified in order to meet all
statutory, local, mine specific and dealer requirements. The tooling below has not been
tested by Caterpillar, nor is available through Caterpillar.

The Caterpillar lift eyes from the insert in template 15 were only ever intended to lift the
chassis as shipped from the factory. By the time that the assembly has progressed to the
point of front tyre installation and certain mine extras have also been fitted, these
Caterpillar lift eyes should not be used to raise the chassis (they are not load rated for that
purpose).
Hastings-Deering therefore had the lifting eyes as depicted in Template 15 built and
certified locally.

Used in preference to jacks when installing rear tyres. Note the wood placed under the
rear tyres in the bottom photo. After rear tyre installation, the front of the truck is raised,
causing the chassis to pivot on these wooden blocks, thus raising the chassis off the stand.

For those sites that will be commissioning the 797B themselves, the Caterpillar
commissioning procedure may be used. Refer to Appendix 4A. Further, Appendix 4D
includes a Caterpillar Commissioning checklist.
4.3
The Caterpillar Commissioning team traveled to site to commission the initial trucks in
Hastings-Deering. When a dealer commissions these trucks the procedure does differ, as
the tools and software employed are different.
A formal Caterpillar Dealer
Commissioning Procedure was not available to Hastings-Deering for the first 797B that
they commissioned alone. For this reason, Hastings-Deering created a process.
You may wish to use elements of this in conjunction with the Caterpillar procedure
described in section 4.2.
For the dealer created procedure, refer to Appendix 4B.
Appendix 4C includes a dealer created Start-Up checklist.

4.4
Once the commissioning tests have been completed in their entirety and have met all tests
and specifications, the 797B is ready for delivery to the customer.
Your dealer team should have negotiated a set sign off procedure. This may well include
a summary of Commissioning test results and a sign off checklist.
Appendix 4E includes a 797B Delivery Checklist as used at the project site.
The dealer had also agreed to a machine sign-off procedure with the customer that
included the Caterpillar Delivery Service Record [Form 01-085314-09 (3515)] and
results of the commissioning tests.
Note that there is also a commissioning & pre-delivery form available in SISWeb service
forms that may also be used a reference.

GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Assembly Pad:
The name given to the secured area where the 797B trucks are assembled. In this
guidebook, this will include everything enclosed within the security fence (eg office
buildings, shipping containers for storage, the actual assembly surfaces, etc)
This describes the truck that would result if built solely as per Special Instruction
REHS1507. Any customer Mine spec extras are not considered part of the Caterpillar
standard truck.
Commissioning Process
Involves the completion of commissioning tests, or the final assessment of the truck
before it is turned over to the customer. The Commissioning Tool will record system
pressures, transmission data, engine data, etc. The tests are written such that the truck will
either pass or fail certain requirements. In the event of a failed requirement, problem
identification and resolution will occur before the truck is delivered to the customer
Contamination is anything in the fluid that doesn't belong. The success formula may be
expressed as:
Clean (Facilities + Parts/Components + Fluids + Repair/Assembly Processes) = Clean Machines/Engines = Longer life
So, quite simply, Contamination control is a reliability and durability initiative aimed at
This is a controlled document that applies to the 797B truck assembly by Hastings
Deering. It is the intent of the SMP to document that the persons working on the project
own the process of reviewing and improving the safety management systems of the
project. The SMP aims to ensure compliance with all site specific in regard to
assembling 32 x 797B off-highway trucks.
