[. . . ] True "on-the-go" differential locks with simple operation improve cycle times and productivity. Strong, durable Cat ACERT engines and electronically controlled transmissions deliver high productivity with low fuel consumption.
Engine with ACERTTM Technology
ACERT Technology
The Cat® C11 ACERTTM engine introduces a series of evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine technology built on systems and components developed by Caterpillar with proven reliability.
Innovative technologies optimize performance.
Advanced Diesel Engine Management (ADEM) A4 Engine Controller
The ADEMTM A4 electronic control module manages fuel delivery and provides flexible fuel mapping, allowing the engine to respond quickly to varying application needs.
Fuel Delivery
Multiple injection fuel delivery involves a high degree of precision. Precisely shaping the combustion cycle lowers combustion chamber temperatures, generating fewer emissions and optimizing fuel combustion. [. . . ] Disengaging the foot switch opens all differential locks immediately.
Transmission and Hoist Levers
The hoist lever provides easy, comfortable operation. The transmission lever offers excellent comfort, and control for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock.
Suspended Pedals
Easy to operate and reach with plenty of leg and foot room. They also make for easier cleaning of the cab floor by keeping the pedals out of the dirt.
Cat 2S Monitoring System
Provides an improved method of monitoring critical machine functions and alerts the operator to an immediate or impending problem. The system includes four levels of warning.

Durability and Reliability
Front Frame
High machine availability maximizes productivity and lowers costs.
The front frame design features a large box section and wide, stiff frame beams to handle torque loads. The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry. The frame design makes maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability.
Rear Frame
Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life.
Suspension
The three-point oscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. It also protects the truck from adverse road conditions by absorbing shock loads that would reach the frame.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch
The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation ensures all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain.
Hitch Construction
Two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard-wearing forged steel tube.
Fast Hoist Cycle Times
Fast body raise and lower times mean less time spent in the dump area.
Load-Carrying Capacity
The 730 has a large target area to provide consistently high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging flow design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids the waste of material carry-back.
7
Serviceability
More time on production.
Long Service Intervals
Long engine oil change and hydraulic oil change intervals lower maintenance costs and downtime. Wheel-bearing adjustment is completely eliminated.
Lube Points
Lube points are grouped at the rear of the front frame and the front of the rear frame. Autolube is optional.
Service Points
Engine and transmission dipstick and fill caps, air and fuel filters, and the fuel priming pump are all mounted on the left side of the engine under the electrically raised hood. Coolant level indicator and fill cap are outside the cab.
Radiator
The radiator package is located behind the cab, which provides protection from frontal impacts and offers easy access to the inlet and outlet sides of the radiator.
Extended Life Coolant
Extends the change interval and improves component life by reducing aluminum corrosion.
Electrical Service Center
Located inside the cab, this service center provides a power port, diagnostic connector and Cat Data Link connector.
Cat Data Link Connector
The Cat Data Link connector provides a plug-in using a laptop computer with Electronic Technician (ET) software.
Service Access
The cab tilts to the side to provide easy access underneath, which simplifies access of the transmission, drive shafts and hydraulic pumps. Machine electrical and hydraulic interfaces are located on the right side of the cab, behind a removable cab body panel for easy access.
Truck Transport
The suspension system eliminates the need to lower the suspension when transporting the truck, reducing maintenance and downtime.
Output Transfer Gear
Provides lubrication of all bearings and clutches using a distributed-pressure lubricated and filtered system.
