Milton CAT 730 Ejector - Manual (Page 8)

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 design
makes maximum use of robotic welding
for increased durability.
Rear Frame. Twin-box construction
minimizes stress concentrations and
provides low weight with long life.
Castings. Front and rear frames make
extensive use of heavy-duty steel castings.
Suspension. Provides unparalleled
ride quality and protects the truck from
the most adverse road conditions by
absorbing shock loads that would
otherwise reach the frame.
Articulating/Oscillating Hitch.
The articulating hitch provides the
truck with steering articulation, and
the oscillation ensures all-wheel
ground contact in rough terrain.
Steer Cylinders In-Line with Hitch.
Steering cylinders are in-line with the
hitch, minimizing steer loads and stress
in the hitch area.
Hitch Construction. Two-piece bolted
hitch features a strong, durable cast
steel head bolted to a hard wearing
forged steel tube. The hitch tube has
large hardened bearing areas and
a hardened thrust face for reduced
maintenance and longer life.
Service Brakes. Features a dual-circuit,
all-wheel, three axle braking system.
Full-power hydraulic system actuates
self-cleaning caliper disc brakes with
independent front and rear circuits
and accumulators.
Parking Brake. Located on the center
axle in an elevated position out of the
dirt and designed to deliver higher heat
capacity and abuse resistance.
Cat Power Train Components.
The 730 Ejector features purpose-
designed earthmoving components from
the engine through to the final drives.
Proven in articulated trucks and other
Cat equipment, these rugged building
blocks ensure long life and reliability.
Radiator Protection. The radiator is
located behind the cab for excellent
visibility. This design incorporates
three levels of protection:
1) Body Spill Guard.
2) Cab Steel Spill Guard.
3) High-Strength Surround.
