    Optimal Loader/Truck Pass Matching

    Note An optimum system match gives you a major productivity advantage. The 740 GC is an excellent match for the Cat 374F and 352F 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.
    Wheel Loader: 972M - Passes 3
    Wheel Loader: 962M - Passes 5
    Wheel Loader: 966M - Passes 4–5
    Hydraulic Excavator: 374F - Passes 3–4
    Hydraulic Excavator: 352F - Passes 5–6
