Offering a 45.2-ton rated payload capacity, the 163,296-lb. Cat 745 articulated truck features a cab design completely re-engineered from the inside-out. The new external "spinal" ROPS structure boasts bonded rear quarter glass that eliminates the structural pillar to give the operator a substantial improvement in visibility from the cab. Upon cab entry, the "wake up" feature initiates machine displays as the door is opened, while the lighter/stronger cab door offers shut assist for improved sealing. The quieter cab design lowers inside sound levels by 5 dB at the operator’s ear.
Infrared glass reduces solar heating inside the cab, while left- and right-hand sliding windows increase ventilation and improve external communication. More vents positioned above and behind the operator enables the new automatic climate control (HVAC) system to more efficiently heat and cool the cab. The heated/cooled seat provides more setting adjustments to dial in personalized operator comfort, while a new flip-up/down passenger seat offers added comfort cushioning. Cab-mounted mirrors and integrated payload lights offer improved visibility around the truck as well as payload levels for the loader operator.
