Detailed instructions for use are in the User's Guide.
[. . . ] Large bore, low pressure cylinders are purpose designed for tough applications and offer a soft, smooth ride.
A-Frame Construction
The front suspension uses an oscillating A-frame with a lateral tie rod to control axle sideways movement.
Rear Suspension
Features a walking beam geometry with Caterpillar designed rear suspension mounts which provide a reliable and stable ride for excellent load retention.
Traction Control
The traction control system is comprised of a wet clutched inter-axle differential and wet clutched cross-axle differentials. All differentials can be engaged and disengaged "on-the-go" for maximum versatility. When used together, the differentials provide 100 percent driveline locking.
Inter-Axle Differential Lock
Locks all three axles in unison and modifies torque distribution for excellent traction in poor underfoot conditions and on grades. It is operated by a switch located at the footrest.
Cross-Axle Differential Locks
Provides full driveline locking all three axles and all six wheels for maximum performance in the most adverse conditions. [. . . ] It is operated by a switch located at the footrest.
Cross-Axle Differential Locks
Provides full driveline locking all three axles and all six wheels for maximum performance in the most adverse conditions. Acts in unison with the inter-axle differential lock when the foot switch is actuated and the dash-mounted switch is selected.
Mounting Points
Suspension mounting points are integrated into the axle housing, increasing reliability.

Operator Comfort
Ride Comfort
High productivity from a comfortable, confident operator.
The three-point front suspension with its oscillating axle and low-pressure ride struts, combined with the center-mounted cab, offers unrivaled levels of ride comfort for the operator in all driving conditions. The operator remains comfortable and productive throughout the day.
Spacious Two-Person Cab
The 730 Ejector features a large two-person cab, offering comfortable working space for both the operator and trainer or trainee. All 700 Family articulated trucks use the same spacious cab design.
Air Suspension Seat
The air suspension seat enhances operator comfort with a cushioned upper high back, adjustable damping with three settings, ride zone indicator and adjustable lumbar settings. It is fully adjustable to provide the optimal driving position.
Trainer Seat
Full-size trainer seat features a fully padded seat with a backrest and a wide seatbelt for a secure and comfortable ride. The trainer seat is positioned next to the operator seat, giving both the operator and trainer a clear view of the instrument panel, controls and the road.
Steering Column
A comfortable driving position is provided by a telescopic and tilt adjustable steering column.
5
Ease of Operation
Designed for ease of use allows the operator to focus on production.
Ergonomic Layout
The controls and layout of the cab are designed to make it as easy to operate as your car. Quick, easy to read and simple to operate, the controls and gauges on the 730 Ejector allow the operator to concentrate on production.
Dash
The Generation II wrap-around dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator. Featuring LED illuminated rocker switches, large LCD display and a rear wash wipe rocker switch. It provides an automotive feel with the industrial strength you would expect from Caterpillar.
Viewing Area
The low sloping hood and placement of the cooling package behind the cab give the operator excellent all-around visibility. The large glass area and central operator position also provide excellent visibility.
Wipers
The wet arm wiper system cleans more glass area and is bottom-mounted to keep it out of the operator's line of sight. · Net power when the fan is at maximum speed is 225 kW (302 hp) per the SAE reference conditions. · The 730 Ejector meets EPA Tier 3/EU Stage 3a emission specifications for the U. S. and Europe through 2010.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine performance, read from Gross Weight down to % Total Resistance. Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed range. Usable Rimpull depends on traction available.
