Overview

Equipped to handle your unique hauling needs

The Cat® 730 EJ articulated truck offers a unique advantage by ejecting material in low-clearance areas—ideal for tunnels, overhead lines, or underground work. On-the-go ejecting cuts the need for extra equipment, speeding up cycles and boosting productivity on compact jobsites.

Benefits

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

The 730 EJ allows you to eject statically on grades and side slopes with minimal carryback, while the C13B engine delivers the power you require, combined with relentless reliability.

BUILT-IN SAFETY

The 730 EJ is designed for safe and convenient access with ground level service, and the push blade ejects material from the body, helping to prevent an opportunity for rollover.

IMPROVED OPERATOR EFFICIENCY

Easily set job parameters with Body Height and Machine Speed Limiting, while improving operating behavior with optional Operator Coaching.

PROVEN RELIABILITY

PROVEN RELIABILITY

        
  • Cat C13B engine delivers proven reliability across a variety of applications.
  •     
  • Terrain-based throttle control smooths throttle input over rough terrain to improve ride quality.
  •     
  • Enhanced reliability through commonality and design simplicity with long life to overhaul.
  •     
  • Minimized impact of emission control system allows excellent response and ample power.
  •     
  • Engine compression brake improves response and increases retarding power for controlled descent of grades.
  •     
  • Aftertreatment technologies reduce emissions, including reducing NOx emissions by 80%.
EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES

EXPAND YOUR CAPABILITIES

        
  • 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.
  •     
  • Ejecting the load without raising the body maintains machine stability, allowing load dispersal on inclines, side slopes, and in very soft underfoot conditions, especially on landfill sites.
  •     
  • The truck can eject in areas with reduced overhead clearance, such as around overhead lines or in tunneling and underground operations.
  •     
  • The body design virtually eliminates material sticking to the body, which increases productivity, improves fuel efficiency, and lowers cost per ton.
  •     
  • The ejector blade is made from high-strength steel and uses technology similar to that proven in Cat wheel tractor-scrapers.
  •     
  • A three-stage, high-speed, double-acting cylinder is specifically designed for horizontal mounting and smooth load ejection.
LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

LONG TERM VALUE AND DURABILITY

        
  • All structures and components are proven through extensive testing and customer experience.
  •     
  • Advanced suspension allows for greater speed over rough terrain, while softening impact loads.
  •     
  • Front suspension oscillates ±6 degrees for a smooth ride.
  •     
  • Frames are designed to handle torque loads, decrease hitch area stress, and optimize suspension geometry.
  •     
  • Frames are robot-welded for maximum durability.
ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

        
  • Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) decreases wheel slippage, delivering maximum traction and productivity. Fully automatic, no operator action.
  •     
  • Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) manages the retarder without any operator interaction. Fully automatic, 100% of the time.
  •     
  • Assisted Hoisting Control allows automatic ejecting of the load.
  •     
  • Combined eject/transmission lever, exclusive to Caterpillar, places multiple controls on the transmission lever, incorporates park brake, and reduces operator interaction by as much as 50%.
POWERFUL EFFICIENCY

POWERFUL EFFICIENCY

        
  • Economy mode reduces fuel use without affecting productivity and can be engaged with a single button.
  •     
  • This machine design improves fuel economy with minimized maintenance costs and the same great power and response.
  •     
  • Innovative air-management systems optimize airflow and enhance power and fuel efficiency.
  •     
  • Fully automatic retarder control helps prevent engine overspeed, protects powertrain components without any operator intervention.
WORK IN COMFORT

WORK IN COMFORT

        
  • Tilt and telescopic steering column designed for operator comfort and control. This adjustable column allows drivers to fine-tune the steering wheel position for optimal ergonomics, especially during long shifts or rough terrain operations.
  •     
  • Simple, intuitive control and display layouts allow the operator to focus on safe machine operation, while maintaining productivity.
  •     
  • Spacious cab with seats positioned for optimal operator and trainer visibility.
  •     
  • Touchscreen allows easy monitoring and adjustment of systems.
