CAT 735 Automobile User Manual


 
Front Suspension. The three-point front
suspension oscillates ±6° to provide a
smooth ride, allowing the operator to
travel at speed over rough terrain and
softening impact loads on structures
and components.
A-Frame Construction. The front
suspension uses an oscillating A-frame
with a lateral tie rod to control axle
sideways movement. The independent
low-pressure, oil-nitrogen suspension
cylinders provide an excellent ride
in rough conditions. Low pressure
ensures consistent damping and
increased seal life.
Front Suspension Cylinders. Large bore,
low pressure cylinders are purpose
designed for tough applications and
offer a soft, smooth ride.
Mounting Points. Suspension mounting
points are integrated into the axle housing,
increasing reliability.
Rear Suspension. Features a walking
beam geometry with Caterpillar designed
rear suspension mounts which provide
a reliable and stable ride for excellent
load retention.
Traction Control. The traction control
system is comprised of a wet clutched
inter-axle differential and wet clutched
cross-axle differentials. All differentials
can be engaged and disengaged on-the-
go for maximum versatility. When used
together, the differentials provide
100 percent driveline locking.
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 at the footrest.
Cross-Axle Differential Locks.
Provides full driveline locking –
all three axles and all six wheels –
for maximum performance in the most
adverse conditions. Acts in unison with
the inter-axle differential lock when
the footswitch is actuated and the
dash-mounted switch is selected.
Fast Hoist Cycle Times. Fast body raise
and lower times mean less time spent
in the dump area.
Service brake detail
Enclosed, Oil-Cooled Brakes.
Multi-plate oil-immersed brakes are
fitted to both front and center axles.
These brakes provide outstanding
stopping capability, while maintaining
maximum durability and low wear
characteristics.
Exhaust Heat System. The body comes
exhaust heat ready.
Load-Carrying Capacity. The 735 has a
large target area to provide consistently
high load-carrying capacity. Its diverging
flow design gives clean load ejection,
which maximizes production and avoids
the waste of material carry-back.
