The Cat 745 with a 25 m3 (32.7 yd3) 41 tonnes (45.2 tons) capacity brings a new level of
operator comfort and features to the market in addition to the durability, high productivity
and lower operating costs Cat Articulated Trucks are known for.

The all-new operator cabin is a leap into the next generation for Articulated Trucks,
providing our operators the best place to help build the future.

Operator Environment
Improved productivity with a comfortable
and confident operator

Spacious Two-Person Cab

The large open cab with increased headroom, offers a comfortable
working space for both the operator and an additional person
(e.g. training purposes). The second seat is fully padded with
a backrest and a wide, retractable seat belt for a secure and
comfortable ride. Positioned adjacent to the operator, the seat
gives the trainer a clear view of the instrument panel, controls
and the road ahead.

Increased and Improved Storage

A new large side storage box is heated or cooled by the HVAC
system depending on operator preference. Twin cup holders and
multiple storage spaces have also been introduced to help give
operators an uncluttered workspace.

Air Suspension Seat

The new air suspension seat gives an increased range of
adjustments over previous offerings including fore/aft isolation,
which dramatically reduces horizontal vibrations and jolts.

This provides a greater number of operators with the ability to

tailor their seating position for a more comfortable working day.
The seat is fitted with variable climate control as standard.

Cab Atmosphere
The improved climate control system gives you the option to
maintain the temperature desired by the operator. The addition
of Infra Red Reflective (IRR) glass and integrated window blinds
helps guard against the effects of bright sunlight.

A reduction to in-cab noise (–7 dB from previous model) contributes

to a more comfortable working environment for the operator, all
day, every day.

The engine compression brake improves retarding response
and increases retarding power for controlled descent of grades.

Transmission
Class leading transmission technology

The Cat High Density Power Shift (HDPS) nine-speed forward, two-speed reverse transmission, designed specifically for Articulated
Trucks, features Advanced Productivity Electronic Control Strategy (APECS) and Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) that deliver
smooth gear changes with improved acceleration and higher productivity.

Speed hold/limiting function allows the machine speed to be limited in 1 km/h or 1 mph steps to conform to site speed restrictions.

Gearshifts are configured to maintain direct drive lock-up, and reduce dropping into converter drive. Decreasing the use of torque
converter drive aids in maintaining ground speed and gradeability.

Variable gearshift points are used based on the operating conditions, which also aid in maintaining ground speed during gear
changes on grades.

Torque Converter
Large diameter torque converter, configured for off-highway applications, allows the higher engine power to be transmitted more
efficiently to the lower power train.

8
 Automatic Features
Ease of use, improved performance

Advanced Automatic Traction Control (AATC)

Proactive application of the inter and cross-axle differential locks is ‘on-the-go’ and fully automatic. The operator does not have to
think about when and where to engage either diff lock. Sensors monitor the machine and wheel speeds, enabling instant response
in high rolling resistance conditions. Operation is seamless and smooth, eliminating wheel slip for maximum traction and
therefore productivity.

Clutches are automatically disengaged when ground conditions allow, maximizing efficiency when steering or when on uneven ground.

AATC reduces tire and driveline abuse, eliminating lost machine efficiencies caused by improper manual operation of the differential
clutches and reducing the cost of premature tire replacement.

Automatic Retarder Control (ARC)

In automatic mode, use of the retarder is much easier for the operator. As with AATC a number of machine operating aspects are
monitored, and if required the engine compression brake is engaged automatically. The system can help towards eliminating engine
overspeed, improving safe machine operation and reducing cycle times, yet still having the flexibility of manual control if needed.

Assisted Dumping System

Tipping of the dump body can be done automatically with the new Assisted Hoisting Control. Flick the new body raise/lower switch
and the machine will apply the service brakes, switch the transmission to neutral and raise the body at the required engine rpm.
Lowering the dump body is done the same way, flick the switch and the machine will lower the body and place it in float. Two flicks,
one up, one down.
