Cat C11 Engine with ACERT Technology A combination of proven systems and innovative new technologies, ACERT engines optimize performance while meeting EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3a engine exhaust emission regulations. Cylinder Head and Piston Technology. The C11 has a cross-flow cylinder head with refined port geometry, which improves breathing and provides better combustion. The Monotherm/steel pistons have a forged steel design, which offers high strength, light weight and tighter tolerances.
Performance and Productivity – Power Train Integrated power train with more power, greater performance and lower fuel consumption. Mechanically Actuated Electronic Unit Injection (MEUI). A highly evolved fuel system with a proven record of reliability in the field. It combines the technical advancement of an electronic control system with the simplicity of direct mechanically controlled unit fuel injection. It excels in its ability to control injection pressure over the entire engine operating speed range.
Performance and Productivity – Suspension and Traction Control Suspension systems and traction control – delivering power to the ground in all conditions. Inter-axle Differential Lock. Locks all three axles in unison and modifies torque distribution for excellent traction in poor underfoot conditions and on grades. It is operated by a switch located in the footrest. Cross-axle Differential Locks.
Operator Comfort The operator’s office – high productivity from a comfortable, motivated operator. Ride Comfort. The three-point front suspension with its oscillating axle and low pressure ride struts, combined with the center-mounted cab, offers unrivaled levels of ride comfort for the operator in all driving conditions. The operator remains comfortable and productive throughout the day. Spacious Two-Person Cab.
Ease of Operation Designed for simple, easy operation, the 730 allows the operator to focus on production. Ergonomic Layout. The controls and layout of the cab are designed to make it as easy to operate as your car. Quick and easy to read and simple to operate, the controls and gauges on the 730 allow the operator to concentrate on production. Viewing Area. The low sloping hood and placement of the cooling package behind the cab give the operator excellent all-around visibility.
Durability and Reliability High availability leads to high productivity. 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 frame has been designed to make maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability. Rear Frame. Twin-box construction minimizes stress concentration and provides low weight with long service life. Castings.
Serviceability More time on production, less time and money spent on servicing. Electrical Service Center. Located inside the cab, this service center provides a power port, diagnostic connector and the Cat Data Link connector. Cat Data Link Connector. Provides a connection point for a laptop computer running Electronic Technician (ET) software. The Cat Data Link port performs programming functions on all electronic controls. Service Access.
