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.
Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI). A highly evolved fuel system with a proven record of reliability in the field. It combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection.
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. A-Frame Construction. The front suspension uses an oscillating A-frame with a lateral tie rod to control axle sideways movement.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Selection. Make detailed comparisons of the machines you are considering before you buy. What are the job requirements, machine attachments and operating hours? What is your need for machine availability and do you have the proper loading tool match? Your Cat ® dealer can help.
