Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching

Hydraulic Excavators 374 352

Passes 3-4 5-6

Wheel Loaders 972M 966M 962M

Passes 3 4-5 5

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 972M, 966M, and 962M Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower
system costs per unit of volume moved.

 Gradeability/Speed/Rimpull

To determine performance, read from Standard 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. Then, go down to Speed. Usable Rimpull depends on traction available.

 Retarding Performance

To determine performance, read from Gross Machine Weight down to % Effective Grade. Effective Grade equals actual % favorable 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. Then, go down to Speed. Retarding effect on these curves represents full application of the retarder.
