740 Articulated Truck

Performance and ProductivitySuspension systems and traction control – delivering power to the ground in all conditions.Front Suspension. New front suspensionoscillates ±6° to provide a smootherride, allowing the operator to travelfaster over rough terrain and softeningimpact loads on structures andcomponents.Rear Suspension. Features a walkingbeam geometry that provides a stableride for excellent load retention.Traction Control. The traction controlsystem is comprised of a wet clutchedinter-axle differential and wet clutchedcross-axle differentials. All differentialscan be engaged and disengaged on-thegofor maximum versatility. When usedtogether, the differentials provide100 percent driveline locking.Inter-Axle Differential Lock. Modifiestorque distribution to give a fixed 50/50torque split between tractor and trailerfor excellent traction in poor underfootconditions and on grades. It is operatedby a switch in the footrest.Cross-Axle Differential Locks. Providesfull driveline locking – all three axlesand all six wheels – for maximumperformance in the most adverseconditions. Acts in unison with theinter-axle differential lock when thefootswitch is actuated and the dashmountedswitch is selected.Oil-Immersed, Oil-Cooled Brakes.Multi-plate oil-immersed brakes arefitted to both front and center axles.These brakes provide outstandingstopping capability, while maintainingmaximum durability and low wearcharacteristics.Fastest Hoist Cycle Times. Carried overfrom the E Series II, fast body raise andlower times mean less time spent in thedump area.Load-Carrying Capacity. The 740 has alarge target area to provide consistentlyhigh load-carrying capacity.Its diverging flow design gives cleanload ejection, which maximizesproduction and avoids the waste ofmaterial carryback.Service brake detail5
