About · Caterpillar 735

Overview

The Caterpillar 735 is a large articulated dump truck with an operating weight of 31,385 kg and an engine output of 394 hp. It sits in the upper tier of the articulated hauler class, competing directly against machines such as the Volvo A40 and the Terex TA40. The model has been in continuous production since 2003, giving it a long service history and a well-established parts and support network across global markets.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

Articulated dump trucks in this weight and power class are deployed primarily in earthmoving, mining support, quarrying, and large-scale civil infrastructure projects. Their articulated steering geometry and high ground clearance make them suited to soft, uneven, or confined terrain where rigid haulers cannot operate efficiently. They are commonly used in dam construction, road building, and land reclamation where continuous high-volume material transport is required.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

Prospective buyers should request full service documentation and verify that scheduled maintenance intervals have been observed throughout the machine's life. Key inspection points for articulated dump trucks of this class include the condition of the articulation joint and associated bearings, the integrity of the hydraulic suspension system, the state of the body and tailgate, and wear on drivetrain components including differentials and driveshafts. Tire condition and remaining tread depth represent a significant cost consideration and should be assessed carefully. A pre-purchase inspection by a qualified Caterpillar technician or independent engineer is strongly advisable before committing to any transaction.

Current market

Price position

Based on available European market data, the Caterpillar 735 is positioned at an average asking price of EUR 67,500. This places it in direct competition with comparable-capacity machines from Volvo and Terex, specifically the A40 and TA40 respectively, where buyers should evaluate price relative to condition, configuration, and documented service history rather than asking price alone.
