Feature and benefits

The Cat® 730 EJ articulated truck offers a unique advantage by ejecting material in low-clearance areas—ideal for tunnels, overhead lines, or underground work. On-the-go ejecting cuts the need for extra equipment, speeding up cycles and boosting productivity on compact jobsites.

Cat C13A engine delivers proven reliability across a variety of applications.
Terrain-based throttle control smooths throttle input over rough terrain to improve ride quality.
Enhanced reliability through commonality and design simplicity with long life to overhaul.
Minimized impact of emission control system allows excellent response and ample power.
Engine compression brake improves response and increases retarding power for controlled descent of grades.

The truck can eject and spread the material while moving, reducing additional spreading and dozing equipment. “On-the-go” ejecting results in faster cycle times.
Ejecting the load without raising the body maintains machine stability, allowing load dispersal on inclines, side slopes, and in very soft underfoot conditions, especially on landfill sites.
The truck can eject in areas with reduced overhead clearance, such as around overhead lines or in tunneling and underground operations.
The body design virtually eliminates material sticking to the body, which increases productivity, improves fuel efficiency, and lowers cost per ton.
The ejector blade is made from high-strength steel and uses technology similar to that proven in Cat wheel tractor-scrapers.
A three-stage, high-speed, double-acting cylinder is specifically designed for horizontal mounting and smooth load ejection.

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.
Directional shift protection protects the powertrain when quickly moving from reverse to forward or forward to reverse.

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.
Operator-presence detection system applies parking brake if gear is engaged and operator is not seated.
In-cab tertiary switch allows operator to bring the machine to a safe stop in the unlikely event of both main and secondary brake circuits failing.
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 and loading.
Ground-level fuel fill tank.
Integrated payload lights [when Cat Payload Monitoring (CPM) option is fitted] with wide angle beam lights on all cab roof corners provide clear visibility to loading tool operator and site controllers.
Secondary steering activates automatically if low pressure is sensed in primary system.
