Radiator Protection. 1) Body Spill Guard. 2) Cab Steel Spill Guard. 3) High-Strength Surround. The radiator islocated behind the cab, protecting it from frontal impacts. This design incorporates three levels of protection: Cat Power Train Components. The 725features purpose-designed earthmoving components from the engine through tothe final drives. Proven in articulated trucks and other Cat equipment, these rugged building blocks ensure long life and reliability.

Articulated Truck - 19427 Durability and Reliability

Parking Brake. Located on the centeraxle in an elevated position out of the dirt and designed to deliver higher heat capacity and abuse resistance.

High availability leads to high productivity.

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 andrear circuits andaccumulators. Rear Frame. Castings. The front and rear frames makeextensive use of heavy-duty steel castings. Twin-box constructionminimizes stress concentration and provides low weight with long servicelife. Hitch Construction. Two-piece hitchconstruction 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. Front Frame. Front Suspension. The front frame designfeatures 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 has been designed to make maximum use of robotic welding for increased durability. Three-pointoscillating axle front suspension provides unparalleled ride quality. Italso protects the truck from the most adverse road conditions by absorbing shock loads that would otherwise reach the frame. Articulating/Oscillating Hitch. Steer Cylinders In-Line with Hitch. Thearticulating hitch provides the truckwith steering articulation and the oscillation ensures the truck maintains all-wheel ground contact in rough terrain. Steer cylinders are in-line with the hitch, minimizing steer loads and stress in the hitch area.
