Milton CAT 740 Ejector - Manual (Page 8)

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 design
incorporates advanced technologies
such as Finite Element Analysis to
optimize the frame before the first
machines are ever built.
Rear Frame. Twin-box construction
minimizes stress concentrations and
provides low weight with long life.
Castings. Both front and rear frames make
extensive use of heavy-duty steel castings.
Suspension. Provides unparalleled
ride quality and protects the truck from
the most adverse road conditions by
absorbing shock loads that would
otherwise 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.
Steer Cylinders In-Line with Hitch.
Steering cylinders are in-line with the
hitch, minimizing steer loads and stress
in the hitch area.
Hitch Construction. Two-piece bolted
hitch features a strong, durable cast
steel head bolted to a hardwearing
forged steel tube. The hitch tube has
hardened bearing areas and a hardened
thrust face for reduced maintenance
and longer life.
Service Brakes. Oil-cooled, multiple
disc brakes are continuously cooled
for exceptional non-fading braking.
They are designed and built for reliable,
adjustment-free operation.
Parking Brake. Located on the center
axle in an elevated position and designed
to deliver higher heat capacity and
abuse resistance.
Cat Power Train Components. All major
components have been purpose-designed
for earthmoving applications. In fact,
many of the major components have
been designed specifically for
articulated trucks.
Radiator Protection. The radiator is
located behind the cab for excellent
visibility. This design incorporates
three levels of protection:
1) Body Spill Guard.
2) Cab Steel Spill Guard.
3) High-Strength Surround.
