Engine with ACERT™ Technology Innovative technologies optimize performance. ACERT Technology The Cat® C15 ACERT™ engine introduces a series of evolutionary, incremental improvements that provide breakthrough engine technology built on systems and components developed by Caterpillar with proven reliability.
Suspension and Traction Control Performance and Productivity. Front Suspension The three-point front suspension oscillates ±6° to provide a smooth ride, allowing the operator to travel at speed over rough terrain and softening impact loads on structures and components. Large bore, low pressure cylinders are purpose designed for tough applications and offer a soft, smooth ride. Enclosed, Oil-Cooled Brakes Multi-plate, oil-immersed brakes are fitted to both front and center axles.
Operator Comfort High productivity from a comfortable, confident operator. Ride Comfort 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.
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 740 allow the operator to concentrate on production. Dash The Generation II wrap-around dash puts all controls within easy reach of the operator.
Durability and Reliability High machine availability maximizes productivity and lowers costs. 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.
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. Universal joints are lubed for life, eliminating servicing. Autolube is optional.
Product Link Equipment Manager is a secure and user-friendly application. Equipment Manager – a better way to manage your fleet Equipment Manager allows transmitted data to be searched and sorted by alert level, group, equipment identification, make and model. Each new machine comes with Asset Watch. However, you can subscribe to a higher level of service for any machine, at any time, through your Cat dealer.

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. Then, go down to Maximum Speed. Usable Rimpull depends on traction available.
740 Articulated Truck Specifications Retarding Performance To determine performance, read from Gross Weight down to % Effective Grade. Effective Grade equals actual % favorable 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. Then, go down to Maximum Speed. Retarding effect on these curves represents full application of the retarder.
