Engine – Optimized Performance, Proven Reliability

Every Tier 2/Stage II or Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent Cat engine with ACERT Technology is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components. The right technologies fine-tuned for the right applications result in:

High machine performance across a variety of applications.
Enhanced reliability through commonality and simplicity of design.
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network.
Minimized impact of emission systems: designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction.
Durable designs with long life to overhaul.
Delivering better fuel economy with minimized maintenance costs while providing the same great power and response.

Engine – Optimized Performance, Proven Reliability

Advanced MEUI™-C Injector - Advanced MEUI-C injector platforms deliver increased injection pressures and more precise fuel rates. These durable injectors enhance responsiveness while controlling soot.

Innovative Air Management - All Cat engines feature innovative air-management systems that optimize airflow and enhance power, efficiency and reliability.

Transmission – Class Leading Transmission Technology

The Cat CX31 six-speed forward, single-speed reverse transmission features Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy (APECS) and Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) which deliver smooth gear changes with improved acceleration and higher productivity.

Speed hold/limiting function allows the machine speed to be limited in 1 km/h or 1 mph steps to conform to site speed restrictions.
Gearshifts have been significantly improved to maintain direct drive lock-up, and eliminate dropping into converter drive. Reducing the use of torque converter drive helps maintain ground speed and gradeability.
Variable shift points used based on the operating conditions, which also aid in maintaining ground speed during gear changes on grades.
Critical gearshifts maintain direct drive lock-up, and eliminate dropping into converter drive. This maintains ground speed during shifts on grades.
The transmission automatically modifies shift points to best suit operating conditions and performance.
Retarding levels are automatically reduced on lesser grades in lower gears.

Transmission – Class Leading Transmission Technology

Torque Converter - Large capacity torque converter, configured for off-highway applications, allows the higher engine power to be transmitted more efficiently to the lower power train.

Engine Compression Brake - Improves retarding response and increases retarding power.

Automatic Features – Ease of Use, Improved Performance

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) - Proactive application of the inter- and cross-axle differential locks is ‘on-the-go’ and fully automatic. The operator does not have to think about when and where to engage either diff lock. Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling instant response in high rolling resistance conditions. Operation is seamless and smooth, eliminating wheel slip for maximum traction and therefore productivity.

Clutches are automatically disengaged when ground conditions allow, maximizing efficiency when steering or when on uneven ground.

AATC reduces tire and driveline abuse, eliminating lost machine efficiencies caused by improper manual operation of the differential clutches and reducing the cost of premature tire replacement.

Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) - In automatic mode, use of the retarder is much easier for the operator. As with AATC, a number of machine operating aspects are monitored. If required, the engine compression brake is engaged automatically to control machine speed when descending a grade. The system can help towards eliminating engine overspeed, improving safe machine operation and reducing cycle times, yet still having the flexibility of manual control if needed.

Assisted Dumping System - Ejecting the load can be done automatically with the new Assisted Ejecting Control. Flick the new ejector body eject/retract switch and the machine will apply the service brakes, switch the transmission to neutral and eject the body at the required engine rpm. Returning the ejector blade is done the same way, flick the switch and the machine will automatically return the blade onto the body. Two flicks, eject/retract.

Hill Assist - Hill Assist reduces potential ‘roll-back’ on grades. If an operator stops the machine on a grade, when taking his foot off the service brake pedal, the machine will automatically hold the service brakes to prevent machine rolling backwards.

Waiting Brake - Waiting brake applies the service brakes when neutral gear is selected, allowing quick and easy control of the machine at the load or dump area.

Ease of Operation – Designed for Operators, by Operators

Control Layout - The new cab is designed to make all aspects of machine operation as simple as possible for every operator. The controls and gauges are easy to read and straightforward to use, allowing the operator to focus on safe machine operation while maintaining productivity.

Combined Hoist/Transmission Lever - Unique to Cat articulated trucks, the combined hoist/transmission lever provides easy, intuitive control of gears and hoist functions. The new assisted hoist system gives improved control to the operator, allowing for faster cycle times and less control movements.

Offering both automatic and manual options, the system gives operators flexibility to choose their preferred method of control. When using the automatic system to eject a load, the machine neutralizes the transmission, applies the service brakes and ejects the body fully at the required engine rpm. Automatic use can reduce operator interactions by up to 50 percent, compared to the previous model, depending on the site ejecting procedure.

Also incorporated into the lever are waiting brake, transmission hold, machine speed limiter and parking brake selection. This gives operation a more automotive feel. No separate park brake switch is now needed; you just push the lever into park.

Dashboard - The newly styled and updated dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator. It features LED illuminated rocker switches for easy use in all operating conditions. The fit and finish delivers an automotive feel with the industrial strength you would expect from Caterpillar.

Touchscreen Display - The updated touchscreen dash mounted display allows the operator to monitor and adjust various levels of machine performance and conditions, as well as machine warning categories. These include configuration settings, operator and machine totals, service information, various machine status parameters, machine payload information (when fitted), stability assist, and the video feed from the rearview camera.

Bluetooth® Stereo Connectivity - Make and receive hands free calls via the optional Bluetooth equipped stereo with clearer quality due to the quieter cab and upgraded speakers.

Operator Environment – Improved Productivity with a Comfortable and Confident Operator

Spacious Two-Person Cab - The large open cab offers a comfortable working space for both the operator and an additional person (e.g. training purposes). The second seat is fully padded with a backrest and a wide, retractable seat belt for a secure and comfortable ride. Positioned adjacent to the operator, the seat gives the trainer a clear view of the instrument panel, controls and the road ahead.

Increased and Improved Storage - A new large side storage box is heated or cooled by the HVAC system depending on operator preference. Twin cup holders and multiple storage spaces have also been introduced to help give operators an uncluttered workspace.

Air Suspension Seat - The new air suspension seat gives an increased range of adjustments over previous offerings including fore/aft isolation, which dramatically reduces horizontal vibrations and jolts. This provides a greater number of operators with the ability to tailor their seating position for a more comfortable working day.

Cab Atmosphere - The improved automatic climate control system gives you the option to maintain the temperature desired by the operator. A reduction to in-cab noise 72 dB (–4 dB from previous model) contributes to a more comfortable working environment for the operator, all day, every day.

Suspension and Braking – Performance with Comfort

All three axles have oscillating A-frames with lateral tie rods, controlling sideways movement of the axle and providing stability. In conjunction with suspension system, it allows the operator to travel at speed over rough terrain and softens impact loads on structures and components.

Front Suspension - Large bore, low-pressure cylinders are purpose designed for off-road applications and offer a soft, smooth ride for the operator. The front suspension oscillates ±6° to assist in providing a smooth ride. Suspension mounting points are integrated into the axle housing, increasing reliability.

Rear Suspension - Comprised of a walking beam and Caterpillar designed long life rear suspension mounts; the rear suspension system provides a reliable and stable ride for excellent travel over rough terrain and aids load retention.

All Axle Enclosed Wet Brakes - The oil-immersed system is a multi-disc, multi-plate design. Enclosing the brakes prevents the ingress of contaminants. This protects the system, extends life, and reduces replacement costs while improving machine uptime.

Durability and Reliability – Proven Structures and Components

Front Frame - 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 excellent 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 helps provide all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain.

Hitch Construction - Field proven two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard wearing forged steel tube.

Ejector Body Design - The 730 EJ has a large target area to provide consistently high load-carrying capacity. Eject blade and body design aids in clean material discharge, maximizing production and avoiding carry-back.

Output Transfer Gear (OTG) - Distributes drive to the tractor and trailer and includes a wet clutch differential lock for optimum traction in poor underfoot conditions.

Service Brakes - Dual-circuit, all wheel braking system. The full power hydraulic system actuates enclosed, oil immersed, multi-disc, multi-plate brakes with independent front and rear circuits and accumulators.

Parking Brake - Located on the center axle in an elevated position, it is spring applied and hydraulically released.

Integrated Technologies – Monitor, Manage, and Enhance Job Site Operations

Cat Connect makes smart use of technology and services to improve your job site efficiency. Using the data from technology-equipped machines, you’ll get more information and insight into your equipment and operations than ever before.

Cat Connect technologies offer improvements in these key areas:

Equipment Management – increase uptime and reduce operating costs.

Productivity – monitor production and manage job site efficiency.

Safety – enhance job site awareness to keep your people and equipment safe.

LINK Technologies - LINK technologies, like Product Link, wirelessly connect you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. The system tracks location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink user interface so you can make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.

PAYLOAD Technologies - PAYLOAD technologies, like Cat Production Measurement, bring payload weighing to the cab to help optimize job site efficiency and productivity. Operators can view real-time load weights on the integrated display and know precisely when target is achieved, while cab-mounted external payload lights on all four corners, signal the loader operator when to stop, reducing the risk of machine overloading. Operators can track daily productivity from the cab, with quick access to truck payload weights, loads and cycle counts, and daily totals; or remotely via LINK technologies.

Cat Detect with Stability Assist - Cat Detect with Stability Assist warns the operator if machine is approaching a pre-set angle during operation; when driving and tipping. If using the assisted hoist, the machine will stop ejecting the body and give an audible and visual warning. The system monitors angles of tractor, trailer and grade independently. This increases operator awareness of machine stability during operation. All tractor and/or trailer rollover events are logged and reported via VisionLink.

Versatility – Pushing the Operating Envelope

The 730 EJ shares the versatility of the standard 730 Articulated Truck, operating in the same conditions, but offering unique capabilities that stretch the operation envelope.

Spreading - The truck can eject and spread the material while moving, reducing additional spreading and dozing equipment. ‘On-the-go’ ejecting results in faster cycle times and reduced power train loads.

Stability - Ejecting the load without raising the body increases stability, allowing load dispersal on inclines, side slopes and in very soft underfoot conditions especially on landfill sites.

Overhead Clearance - The truck can eject in areas with reduced overhead clearance, such as around overhead lines or in tunneling and underground operations.

Carry-Back - The body design eliminates material sticking to the body, which increases productivity, improves fuel efficiency and lowers cost per ton.

Body - Reinforced body is made from thick high-yield, heat-treated Brinell hardened steel (Brinell 400 on the base and sides) that provides exceptional durability. Ejector top rails are made from high-strength alloy steel. For optimum durability and wear life, the ejector body is designed to work in applications where the material consists of rocks smaller than 152 mm (6 in) in diameter.

Blade - The ejector blade is made from high-strength steel and uses technology similar to that proven in Cat wheel tractor-scrapers.

Cylinder - A three-stage, high-speed, double-acting cylinder is specifically designed for horizontal mounting and smooth load ejection.

Serviceability – Maximize Uptime and Reduce Costs

Service Points - Service points are mounted on the left side of the engine under the electrically raised hood:

Engine dipstick and fill cap
Transmission dipstick and fill cap
Air cleaner, fuel water separator and fuel filters
Electrically operated fuel-priming pump
Coolant level indicator and fill cap are outside the cab

Long Service Intervals - Changes to oil change intervals, volumes and the type of oil required will help lower maintenance costs and machine downtime.

Lubrication Points - Lubrication points are grouped in the hitch area for ease of servicing. Universal joints are lubed for life, eliminating any maintenance. An autolube system is also optional and now includes alerts via Product Link for low grease levels.

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 - Extended Life Coolant extends the change interval and improves component life by reducing 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 with Electronic Technician (ET) software.

Service Access - The cab tilts to the side to provide easy access underneath, which simplifies access to the transmission, drive shafts and hydraulic pumps. Machine electrical and hydraulic interfaces are located on the external right-hand side of the cab, behind a removable body panel providing easy access.

Benefits and Features

Engine – Optimized Performance, Proven Reliability

High machine performance across a variety of applications.
Enhanced reliability through commonality and simplicity of design.
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network.
Minimized impact of emission systems: designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction.
Durable designs with long life to overhaul.
Delivering better fuel economy with minimized maintenance costs while providing the same great power and response.

Innovative Air Management - All Cat engines feature innovative air-management systems that optimize airflow and enhance power, efficiency and reliability.

Transmission – Class Leading Transmission Technology

Speed hold/limiting function allows the machine speed to be limited in 1 km/h or 1 mph steps to conform to site speed restrictions.
Gearshifts have been significantly improved to maintain direct drive lock-up, and eliminate dropping into converter drive. Reducing the use of torque converter drive helps maintain ground speed and gradeability.
Variable shift points used based on the operating conditions, which also aid in maintaining ground speed during gear changes on grades.
Critical gearshifts maintain direct drive lock-up, and eliminate dropping into converter drive. This maintains ground speed during shifts on grades.
The transmission automatically modifies shift points to best suit operating conditions and performance.
Retarding levels are automatically reduced on lesser grades in lower gears.

Torque Converter - Large capacity torque converter, configured for off-highway applications, allows the higher engine power to be transmitted more efficiently to the lower power train.

Engine Compression Brake - Improves retarding response and increases retarding power.

Automatic Features – Ease of Use, Improved Performance

Clutches are automatically disengaged when ground conditions allow, maximizing efficiency when steering or when on uneven ground.

AATC reduces tire and driveline abuse, eliminating lost machine efficiencies caused by improper manual operation of the differential clutches and reducing the cost of premature tire replacement.

Waiting Brake - Waiting brake applies the service brakes when neutral gear is selected, allowing quick and easy control of the machine at the load or dump area.

Ease of Operation – Designed for Operators, by Operators

Bluetooth® Stereo Connectivity - Make and receive hands free calls via the optional Bluetooth equipped stereo with clearer quality due to the quieter cab and upgraded speakers.

Operator Environment – Improved Productivity with a Comfortable and Confident Operator

Suspension and Braking – Performance with Comfort

Durability and Reliability – Proven Structures and Components

Rear Frame - Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life.

Articulating/Oscillating Hitch - The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation helps provide all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain.

Hitch Construction - Field proven two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard wearing forged steel tube.

Output Transfer Gear (OTG) - Distributes drive to the tractor and trailer and includes a wet clutch differential lock for optimum traction in poor underfoot conditions.

Parking Brake - Located on the center axle in an elevated position, it is spring applied and hydraulically released.

Integrated Technologies – Monitor, Manage, and Enhance Job Site Operations

Cat Connect technologies offer improvements in these key areas:

Equipment Management – increase uptime and reduce operating costs.

Productivity – monitor production and manage job site efficiency.

Safety – enhance job site awareness to keep your people and equipment safe.

Versatility – Pushing the Operating Envelope

The 730 EJ shares the versatility of the standard 730 Articulated Truck, operating in the same conditions, but offering unique capabilities that stretch the operation envelope.

Stability - Ejecting the load without raising the body increases stability, allowing load dispersal on inclines, side slopes and in very soft underfoot conditions especially on landfill sites.

Overhead Clearance - The truck can eject in areas with reduced overhead clearance, such as around overhead lines or in tunneling and underground operations.

Carry-Back - The body design eliminates material sticking to the body, which increases productivity, improves fuel efficiency and lowers cost per ton.

Blade - The ejector blade is made from high-strength steel and uses technology similar to that proven in Cat wheel tractor-scrapers.

Cylinder - A three-stage, high-speed, double-acting cylinder is specifically designed for horizontal mounting and smooth load ejection.

Serviceability – Maximize Uptime and Reduce Costs

Service Points - Service points are mounted on the left side of the engine under the electrically raised hood:

Engine dipstick and fill cap
Transmission dipstick and fill cap
Air cleaner, fuel water separator and fuel filters
Electrically operated fuel-priming pump
Coolant level indicator and fill cap are outside the cab

Long Service Intervals - Changes to oil change intervals, volumes and the type of oil required will help lower maintenance costs and machine downtime.

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 - Extended Life Coolant extends the change interval and improves component life by reducing 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 with Electronic Technician (ET) software.
