Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching
Spec Value Hydraulic Excavators: 349/352 - Passes 4-5 Hydraulic Excavators: 336 - Passes 5-6 Wheel Loaders: 972/972 XE - Passes 3-4 Wheel Loaders: 966/966 XE - Passes 4 Wheel Loader: 962 - Passes 4-5 Wheel Loader: 950 - Passes 5 Note An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 730 is an excellent match for the Cat 349/352 and 336 Hydraulic Excavators and Cat 972, 966, 962, and 950 Wheel Loaders. Having matched loading and hauling tools results in increased production and lower system costs per unit of volume moved.
