Durability and Reliability
High machine availability maximizes productivity and lowers costs.
Front Frame
The front frame design features a large box section and wide, stiff frame beams to handle torque loads.
The divergent frame design decreases stress in the hitch area and optimizes suspension geometry.
The frame design makes maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability.
Rear Frame
Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentrations and provides low weight with long service life.
Suspension
The three-point oscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. It also protects
the truck from adverse road conditions by absorbing shock loads that would reach the frame.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch
The articulating hitch provides the truck with steering articulation, and the oscillation ensures all-wheel
ground contact in rough terrain.
Hitch Construction
Two-piece construction features a durable cast steel head bolted to a hard-wearing forged steel tube.
Fast Hoist Cycle Times
Fast body raise and lower times mean less time spent in the dump area.
Load-Carrying Capacity
The 740 has a large target area to provide consistently high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging flow
design gives clean load ejection, which maximizes production and avoids the waste of material carry-back.
