Customization to Work for Your Application.

The Cat® OEM 745 Bare Chassis is available in both standard and long wheel base. With up to a 49.9 tonnes (55 tons) capacity, the 745 bare chassis offers proven reliability, durability, high productivity, superior operator comfort and lower operating costs. The long wheel base configuration accommodates longer specialty OEM bodies, while retaining high-quality steering, braking, and ride characteristics.

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.
