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.
