• The MT6300 features an all-new AC drive system that can significantly
reduce friction brake wear. This new drive system allows the truck to
transition from full propel to full retard in less than a second, and the
dynamic retading can fully stop the truck. In addition, a unique
modular design provides a powerful and durable drive system
designed for easy maintenance, troubleshooting and repair.

• When it comes to emptying the dump body of the MT6300, a uniquely
curved floor, front and canopy ease the thorough dumping of
contents, including oil sands. The hybrid, high-efficiency, patented
dump body design includes special runners that transfer weight to
the frame and joint isolation that reinforces welded areas. Dump
body heating is available as an option.
• High-efficiency rock-type deep vee design dump body, with 45˚
dumping angle.
Features
The MT6300 is the only 363-tonne (400-ton) truck in the industry
designed from the ground up. The MT6300 offers outstanding efficiency
and productivity, thanks to its impressive payload capacity and
class-leading features like superb ground clearance, triple-reduction
wheel motors and a patented dump body design. It is details such as
these that make the innovatively engineered MT6300 a profitable
member of any mining operation.
Cab
Integral ROPS/FOPS cab meets SAE J1040 MAY94 force and energy
requirements. Sound exposure is at an Leq (equivalent sound level) of
less than 82 dB (A) and is tested per ANSI/SAE J1166 MAY90 with
doors and windows closed. The cab also meets both U.S. OSHA and
MSHA occupational noise criteria for operator weighted sound
exposure level. Features include room for two full-size seats, deluxe
interior, AM/FM/CD radio, tinted safety glass, curved windshield for
added field of view, tilt and telescopic steering wheel, heater and
defroster, and pressurized and filtered intake air for driver comfort.
Controller-area Network (CAN) gauges, power windows, and
pressurized and filtered air. Two 1-inch steel plates protect the
operator in the event of a tire blow out.
Frame
• Straight-rail frame design eliminates sources of stress concentration
such as bends and breaks.
• Deep-section main rails in critical frame areas reduce stress and
increase frame fatigue life.
• Computer-aided design utilizes double box-section construction of
special alloy steel.
• Continuous frame rail beams with deep section in critical area and
ROPS supports provide rugged, dependable service.
