Note
An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 740 GC is an excellent match for the Cat 374 and 352 Hydraulic Excavators; and Cat 972, 966, and 962 Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.
