Ease of Operation
Designed for ease of use – 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, easy to read and simple
to operate, the controls and gauges on the 740 allow the
operator to concentrate on production.
Dash
The Generation II wrap-around dash puts all controls within
easy reach of the operator. Featuring LED illuminated rocker
switches, large LCD display and a rear wash wipe rocker
switch. It provides an automotive feel with the industrial
strength you would expect from Caterpillar.
Viewing Area
The low sloping hood and placement of the cooling package
behind the cab give the operator excellent all-around visibility.
The large glass area and central operator position also provide
excellent visibility.
Wipers
The wet arm wiper system cleans more glass area and
is bottom-mounted to keep it out of the operator’s line
of sight. Windows are tinted to reduce glare.
Differential Lock Controls
The inter-axle differential lock can be engaged/disengaged
“on-the-go” by using a raised switch incorporated into the
drivers foot rest, for ease of operation. For 100% lock up, all
three cross-axle differential locks act in unison with the inter-
axle differential lock when the foot switch is activated and a
dash mounted switch is selected. Disengaging the foot switch
opens all differential locks immediately.
Transmission and Hoist Levers
The hoist lever provides easy, comfortable operation.
The transmission lever offers excellent comfort, and control
for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock.
Suspended Pedals
Easy to operate and reach with plenty of leg and foot room.
They also make for easier cleaning of the cab oor by
keeping the pedals out of the dirt.
Cat 2S Monitoring System
Provides an improved method of monitoring critical
machine functions and alerts the operator to an immediate
or impending problem. The system includes four levels
of warning.
