The Cat® OEM 730 Bare Chassis is equipped with a true “on-the-go” Automatic Traction Control (ATC) system. Advanced Productivity Electronics Control Strategy (APECS) delivers a smooth shifting transmission, improving acceleration with higher productivity.

Cat chassis are the right choice for specialty truck bodies (coal, trash), water trucks, fuel and lube, service vehicles, container carriers, hook lifts and other machine derivatives. These specialty machines have proven themselves in construction, industrial, waste, material handling, quarry, and mining projects worldwide.
