Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching
Hydraulic Excavator: 374 - Passes 3-4
Hydraulic Excavator: 352F - Passes 5u20136
Wheel Loader: 972 - Passes 3
Wheel Loader: 966M - Passes 4u20135
Wheel Loader: 962M - Passes 5
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.
