Caterpillar introduced a new articulated truck design with built-in automatic features for the next generation Cat 725, 730, 730 EJ and 735 models.
Cat says the upgraded interior puts control at the operator’s fingertips, with all functions accessible through a touchscreen or a smooth, responsive keypad. The touchscreen can be navigated using the integrated jog dial for added convenience.
Additionally, the new push-to-start with operator ID stores up to 50 operator IDs to quickly get to work and safeguard against unauthorized use.
“Caterpillar’s latest machine design makes operating our next-gen articulated trucks feel more comfortable, responsive and user-friendly than ever,” says Sherrie Williams, global product application specialist at Caterpillar. “With the introduction of the Cat C13B engine on the 725, the improved power-to-weight ratio means it is up to 14 percent more efficient on our Tier 4 Final [and equivalent] machines.”
