Overview

The Cat 730 EJ with a 16.9 m^³ (22.1 yd^³)/27.1 tonnes (30 tons) capacity, offers demonstrated reliability and durability, high performance and productivity and a new world-class cab to improve operator comfort and ease of operation Updating the successful 730C2 EJ to include the new cab design makes the 730 EJ a more attractive proposition for our customers. Class leading levels of performance and new features such as Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) and Assisted Ejecting Control create operator comfort, making a productive machine all day long. The machines retain all axle enclosed wet brakes and Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy (APECS).

MAXIMIZE PERFORMANCE

Every Tier 4 Final/Stage IV and EU Stage V Cat engine is equipped with a combination of proven electronic, fuel, air and aftertreatment components.
Maximized uptime and reduced cost with world-class support from the Cat dealer network.
Minimized impact of emission systems: designed to be transparent to the operator without requiring interaction.

AUTOMATIC CONTROLS

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC) engages inter and cross-axle differential locks on-the-go giving the operator optimum traction as conditions change.
Clutches release automatically to avoid conflict during tight turns.
AATC reduces tire and driveline wear, eliminating lost efficiency that can occur with improper manual operation.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

All three axles promote stability using oscillating a-frames with lateral tie rods. Operate at productive speeds with confidence while virtually eliminating impact loads on truck components.
The front suspension oscillates ±6° controlled by large-bore, low-pressure cylinders to assist in a smooth ride.

OPERATOR COMFORT AND CONTROL

Spacious cab delivers comfort all shift long and is 4dB quieter than prior model.
Unique combination eject/transmission lever is intuitive and enhances cycle times with fewer control movements.
Trainer/passenger seat is fully padded with wide, retractable seat belt for security and comfort.

BUILT TO PERFORM

Box section front frame absorb is stiff to handle torque loads. Frame design decreases stress at the hitch and optimizes suspension geometry.
Rear frame features twin-box construction minimizing stress points and enhancing service life.

TECHNOLOGY THAT GETS WORK DONE

Cat Product Link wirelessly connect you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. The system tracks location, hours, fuel usage, productivity, idle time, and diagnostic codes through the online VisionLink user interface so you can make timely, fact-based decisions to maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower costs.

BECAUSE UPTIME COUNTS

Caterpillar design, manufacturing and customer service help ensure peak performance and uptime.
Long service intervals keep your machine operating.
Lubrication points are grouped near the hitch for fast, easy routine maintenance.
Universal joints are sealed and lubed for long life.

MORE SUSTAINABLE FUTURE

Caterpillar designs and functions with great concern for the environment.
Cat C13 engine incorporates the Cat Clean Emission Module (CEM) to meet Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards. The system uses both Ultra-low-sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel or up to B20 bio-diesel blended with ULSD.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

Seat belt in use indicator (four-point seat belt available as an option)
Operator presence detection (prevents gear engagement when operator is not seated)
Additional mirror for front of machine visibility
Cab mounted, wide angled, folding mirrors
Heated mirrors (optional)
