Used Caterpillar 745 Articulated Truck: Sell or Buy at Auction

Caterpillar is the world's largest manufacturer of construction and mining equipment, and a major producer of diesel and gas engines and industrial generators. Cat equipment is the most recognizable heavy equipment brand globally, with unmatched parts availability and dealer network creating extremely liquid used equipment markets.

The Caterpillar 745 is Cat's largest articulated dump truck, a six-wheel-drive (6x6) hauler built for large-scale earthmoving with a rated payload of roughly 41 metric tons (about 45 US tons) and a heaped body capacity near 25 cubic meters (about 33 cubic yards). Power comes from a Cat C18 diesel in the neighborhood of 500 horsepower driving all three axles, and an articulated hitch with a free-swinging rear tandem lets the frame flex and oscillate so all six tires stay loaded on rough, soft, or uneven haul roads. Mining operations, quarries, aggregate producers, and heavy civil contractors run this class of ADT because it travels off-highway ground that would stop a rigid-frame truck, hauls farther than a scraper can economically load and carry, and stays productive through long shifts backed by Cat's parts and service network. At auction, a 745 draws bidders from mining and quarry operations, equipment dealers, and rental fleets that already run Cat ADTs and know the parts support behind them, giving KD Auctions access to 500,000+ industry contacts who recognize the model on sight and bid accordingly. Sale results track engine and machine hours, tire condition, and whether the dump body, hitch, and drivetrain show normal haul-road wear or heavier abuse.
