Operator Comfort
Ride Comfort
High productivity for a comfortable, confident operator.
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
The 740 Ejector features a large two-person cab, offering comfortable working space for both the operator and trainer or trainee. All 700 Family articulated trucks use the same spacious cab design.
Air Suspension Seat
The air suspension seat enhances operator comfort with a cushioned upper high back, adjustable damping with three settings, ride zone indicator and adjustable lumbar settings. [. . . ] The trainer seat is positioned next to the operator seat, giving both the operator and trainer a clear view of the instrument panel, controls and the road.
Steering Column
A comfortable driving position is provided by a telescopic and tilt steering column.

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 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 is 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 Ejector Levers
Finger tip controls allow easy operation and low effort. The ejector and transmission levers are positioned for easy, comfortable operation, along with the control for top gear limit, transmission hold and neutral lock.
Blade Retraction Sequence
The ejector blade returns to the loading position as soon as the blade retract sequence is initiated. · Hearing protection may be needed when operating with an open operator station and cab (when not properly maintained or doors/windows are open) for extended periods or in noisy environments.

Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull
To determine performance, read from Gross Weight down to % Total Resistance. Total Resistance equals actual % grade plus 1% for each 10 kg/metric ton (20 lb/ton) of Rolling Resistance. From this point, read horizontally to the curve with the highest attainable speed range. [. . . ]
