This truck is so large that it can not be driven on the highway to location, so it must be taken there in pieces and constructed at the job site. A single tire of the Caterpillar 797B, (the Michelin 59/80R63), costs $40,000, and is 13 feet high. The nearest competitor to the Caterpillar 797B is the Liebherr T 282B dump truck which can hold 365 tonnes, though the Liebherr T 282B has more engine power at 3,650 horsepower as compared with 3,550 horsepower for the giant Caterpillar 797B.
