Worth Clarifying: This Is an Off-Highway Haul Truck, Not a Road Tipper
Caterpillar's dump truck line — the 725, 730, 740 and 745 articulated haul trucks — is built for off-highway mining and construction work, hauling material within a site rather than on public roads. These machines run efficient hydraulic dump systems with fast raise/lower cycle times, plus electro-hydraulic secondary steering that activates automatically if primary system pressure drops. This is a genuinely different machine from a road-going PTO tipper truck; if you need a road tipper pump instead, see our general Tipper/Dumper page.
Caterpillar's articulated trucks are engineered to pair with specific excavator and wheel loader classes — the 730, for instance, is designed to match the Cat 336F/349F excavators and 950M-972M wheel loaders for optimum loading cycle efficiency. The hydraulic system covers dump body hoist control (efficient fast-cycle raise/lower), primary steering, and an automatic electro-hydraulic secondary steering backup that engages if primary pressure drops — a genuine safety feature specific to this machine class.
| Model | Payload Class | Pairs With |
|---|---|---|
| 725 | Compact class | Smaller excavator/loader combinations |
| 730 | ~28 tonne | Cat 336F/349F excavators, 950M-972M wheel loaders |
| 740 | ~38 tonne | Larger excavator classes |
| 745 | ~42 tonne | Heavy mining/quarry excavator classes |
