on grade and reduced stress during shifting
Powertrain, clutch energy and wear are reduced by
controlling engine speed during shifting
773E Attributes
Directional Shift Management
When the shift cane passes through neutral and

773E Attributes
Suspension
Simple yet effective design
that is low maintenance (no
adjustment necessary) and a
history of long life
Nitrogen and oil charging at
low pressures limits leaking
and uses materials that are
readily available
Kingpin steering design
minimizes joints that require
greasing and provides a tight
turning radius for
maneuverability in tight loading
areas
773E Attributes
Suspension
Precise and rigid frame
mounting of steering cylinders
eliminates wheel adjustments
and service cost and eliminates
unusual front tire wear caused
by steering system slop
Rear cylinders allow the axle to
oscillate to absorb bending and
twisting forces reducing
transmitting these loads to the
frame

773E Attributes
Suspension
Cat system is designed to
dissipate impacts for long
frame life
Cat system is designed to allow
the operator to take full
advantage of the trucks speed
and load capacity

Cat trucks offer the best ride quality in the industry!
773E Attributes
Steering
Hydraulically actuated using load sensing, pressure
compensated piston pumps
Only draws engine power (and additional fuel) when
needed and reduces the opportunity for heat build
up that causes stress
Steering is tuned to respond equally in low effort
steering wheel turn and equally in high-speed
roading
System is designed to reduce steering effort and
increase responsiveness to wheel turn

773E Attributes
Brakes
Both front and rear brakes
are hydraulically actuated but
air modulated preventing
the need for costly,
maintenance intensive brake
accumulators
Thirty years of proven
reliability exceeding SAE and
ISO requirements
