Milton CAT 740 Ejector - Manual (Page 7)

Ejector. The 740 Ejector is designed
to disperse the load on-the-go for faster
cycle times and lower spreading costs.
The ejector body also offers clean load
ejection and the capability to work in
areas with restricted overhead clearance
and soft underfoot conditions.
Versatility. The 740 Ejector is based
on the standard 740 Articulated Truck
and shares all its versatility. It can
operate in the same conditions, yet
offers a number of unique capabilities
that stretch the operation envelope.
Spreading. The truck can eject the
material and spread it out while moving,
reducing the size of additional spreading
and dozing equipment. This makes the
740 Ejector an ideal solution for road
building and landfill applications.
On-the-go ejecting results in faster cycle
times and reduced power train loads.
Stability. Ejecting the load without raising
the body increases stability, allowing
load dispersal on inclines, side slopes
and in very soft underfoot conditions.
Generally, these conditions would be
unacceptable with a conventional truck,
but are ideal for the 740 Ejector,
especially on landfill sites.
Overhead Clearance. Because the body
is not raised when ejecting the load,
the truck can be utilized in areas with
reduced overhead clearance such as
when working around overhead lines,
conveyors, hoppers and bridges.
The ejector is also ideal for tunneling
and underground operations.
Carry-Back. The design of the ejector is
inherently self-cleaning and practically
eliminates material sticking to the body,
which increases productivity, improves
fuel efficiency and lowers cost per ton.
Body. Reinforced body is made from
thick high-yield, heat-treated Brinell
hardened steel (Brinell 400 on the base
and sides) that provides exceptional
durability. Ejector top rails are made from
high-strength alloy steel. For optimum
durability and wear life, the ejector
body is designed to work in applications
where the material consists of rocks
smaller than 152 mm (6 in.) in diameter.
Blade. The ejector blade is made from
high-strength steel and uses technology
similar to that proven in Cat wheel
tractor-scrapers.
Cylinder. A four-stage, high-speed,
double-acting cylinder is specifically
designed for horizontal mounting and
provides smooth load ejection. It is
centrally supported and nitride-hardened
to ensure a long service life.
Proven Technology. Much of the
740 Ejector design is carried over from
the Cat 740 Articulated Truck.
