About · Caterpillar 730

Overview

The Caterpillar 730 is an articulated dump truck with an operating weight of 23,900 kg and an engine output of 325 hp. It has been in continuous production since 2001, reflecting a long-established platform with broad parts and service support. The machine sits in the mid-range articulated hauler class, competing directly with units such as the Volvo A30G and Komatsu HM300.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Articulated dump trucks in this class are primarily deployed on earthmoving, quarrying, and large-scale civil infrastructure projects where off-road haulage over rough or soft terrain is required. Their articulated steering geometry makes them well suited to confined sites and steep gradients. Common applications include dam construction, road building, mining overburden removal, and bulk material transport on agricultural or forestry operations.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Buyers should prioritise a full inspection of the articulation joint, dumpbody hinge points, and frame welds, as these areas absorb the greatest stress in daily hauling cycles. The transmission, torque converter, and differential locks warrant close functional testing, given the drivetrain loads typical of this class. Tyre condition and remaining life represent a significant cost consideration and should be assessed carefully. A verified service history, confirmation of genuine Caterpillar parts usage, and a pre-purchase inspection by a qualified heavy-equipment technician are strongly recommended before committing to any transaction.

Current market

Price position

In the European used-equipment market, the Caterpillar 730 carries an average asking price of EUR 284,980, with a typical trading range of EUR 240,000 to EUR 335,000. This positions it as a premium asset within the articulated hauler segment, broadly comparable in price positioning to the Volvo A30G and Komatsu HM300, which serve the same tonnage class. Pricing variation within the stated range is generally driven by machine age, configuration, and service history rather than model differences alone.
