Features
Chassis and Exterior
Built on a heavy-duty steel chassis with 6×6 wheel drive and a differential lock, the 740 ensures superior traction and stability on rough terrains. The articulated steering with a 43-degree turning radius navigates tight job sites, and the suspension system provides a smooth ride for heavy loads. Equipped with five 29.5R25 radial tires and one 29.5R25 bias ply tire, it handles demanding surfaces with ease. The dump bed with a heaped capacity of 29.7 yd³ features a rear tailgate for secure material retention and a dual-cylinder hoist for efficient dumping at a 70-degree angle. Work lights and a center-mounted cab enhance visibility and balance during operation.
Interior Comfort
The enclosed ROPS/FOPS cab features air conditioning, heating, an AM/FM Weatherband radio, and a tilt/telescoping steering wheel for a comfortable workspace. The air suspension seat supports long shifts, and the ergonomic dashboard with standard gauges provides real-time monitoring of engine, transmission, and hydraulic performance. Large windows and high ground clearance ensure excellent visibility, while intuitive controls and a low 76 dB noise level reduce operator fatigue.
Mechanical Excellence
Powered by a 413-horsepower Caterpillar 3406 14.6L turbo diesel engine, the 740 achieves a top speed of 34 mph and handles 83,776 lbs payloads with ease. The 7F-1R powershift transmission ensures smooth gear changes, and the engine compression brake enhances control on steep grades. The load-sensing hydraulic system (70 gpm, 3,625 psi) optimizes hoist and steering efficiency, with a dump cycle time of 22 seconds. Daily service points, accessible via handrails, simplify checks for engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and coolant. The 148-gallon fuel tank supports extended operation, and major updates—including front, center, and rear differential updates at 5,000 hours, plus a rebuilt transmission, steering pump replacement, and engine wiring harness at 9,180 hours—ensure long-term reliability.
