NEW CAT DUMP TRUCK

Five new Cat articulated dump trucks (D25D, D30D, D40D, D350D and D400D) offer users new standards in durability and performance for articulated dump trucks. All five are based on new frames that feature rolled section design to improve strength. New suspension system mountings allow a greater range of suspension movement for a smoother ride and reduced frame stress. Revised steering geometry also reduces frame stress and improves control. An improved operator compartment reduces sound levels to 80 dBA. Other design features are described in this article.
