Overview

Efficient Productivity

Haul more, dump more with the Cat® 730 articulated truck. With a 31-ton (28-tonne) payload capacity, it’s designed to boost productivity—especially on compact jobsites. Pass-matched with Cat excavators and loaders, you can move more material efficiently and with less effort.

Benefits

RELIABLE PERFORMANCE

The redesigned dump body provides easier loading and maximum payload, while the C13A engine delivers the power you require, combined with relentless reliability.

BUILT-IN SAFETY

Designed for safe and convenient access with ground level service, and Dynamic Rollover Protection applies brakes when needed to help prevent rollovers.

IMPROVED OPERATOR EFFICIENCY

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

Features At A Glance

Displaying 1-6 of 8

PROVEN RELIABILITY

Cat C13A engine delivers high machine performance across a variety of applications.
Enhanced reliability through commonality and design simplicity with long life to overhaul.
Minimized impact of emissions systems allows excellent response and ample power.
Engine compression brake retarder improves response and increases retarding power for controlled descent of grades.

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.
Redesigned dump body provides reinforced top edge on side rail.

ACHIEVE GREATER PRODUCTIVITY

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) decreases wheel slippage for maximum traction and productivity. Fully automatic with no operator action.
Body Height Limiting allows operators to set upper and lower height parameters, helping to increase cycle efficiency and ensure the machine operates within jobsite constraints.
Automatic Retarder Control (ARC) manages the retarder without any operator interaction. Fully automatic, 100% of the time.
Assisted Hoisting Control allows automatic tipping and lowering of the dump body at the flick of a switch.
Combined hoist/transmission lever, exclusive to Caterpillar, places multiple controls on the transmission lever to provide easy, intuitive control of gears and hoist functions, reducing operator interaction by as much as 50%.
Optional body heat solution reduces carryback in specific applications.

POWERFUL EFFICIENCY

Economy mode reduces fuel use without affecting productivity and can be engaged with a single button.
Next-generation 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.
Advanced Mechanically-Actuated Electronically Controlled Unit Injection (MEUI)™-C injector platforms deliver increased injection pressures and more precise fuel rates.

WORK IN COMFORT

Interior space is designed to make all aspects of machine operation as simple as possible for every operator.
A keytouch pad enhances the operator experience, while a jog dial provides intuitive control of the updated touchscreen interface.
An optional system uses four discrete cameras to enhance operator visibility around the machine, while an integrated detection system provides both visual and audible alerts to indicate the presence of nearby objects.
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.
Touchscreen display allows for easy monitoring and adjustment of systems.
Make and receive hands-free calls via the optional Bluetooth® equipped stereo.
The HVAC system is now managed through the primary display, with controls accessible via the jog dial or touchscreen for enhanced operator convenience.
The cab features dedicated storage solutions for everyday items, ensuring convenience and organization for the operator.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

Integrated systems give you the ability to make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.
Product Link™ system connects to the machine wirelessly, allowing you to monitor location, hours, fuel use, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes.
Improved payload techology allows operators to view real-time load weights on the integrated display. Updated software and sensors provide accurate data.
External payload indicator lights alert the loader when to stop, reducing the risk of machine overloading.
Stability Assist software reports information via VisionLink®, increasing awareness of machine history if a rollover has occurred.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

Unique safety feature Dynamic Roll Protection supports rollover prevention and works in parallel with the already successful Cat Detect with Stability Assist, reducing downtime and safety repairs from machine rollover events.
Enter the machine safely with machine wakeup and new stairway lighting.
Grab rail allows for easier and safer machine access.
Operator-presence detection system applies parking brake if gear is engaged and operator is not seated.
In-cab tertiary brake switch allows the operator to bring the machine to a safe stop in the unlikely event of both main and secondary brake circuits failing.
Electro-hydraulic secondary steering activates automatically if low pressure is sensed in primary system.
Hill Assist reduces potential rollback on grades.
Auto Wait Brake applies the service brakes when neutral is selected and button is pressed, allowing quick and easy control of the machine while dumping, loading, and queuing.
Ground-level fuel fill tank.
