What the specifications mean

01

The 735 needs both a travel-clearance check and a tipping-area check. Its fully raised body reaches 21 ft 6 in; that is a different envelope from the 11 ft 5 in transport position. Compare the 730 EJ when discharge clearance is the deciding constraint, then check payload and body geometry on their own merits.

02

The optional tailgate changes length and body volume. This page uses the standard body without it; do not apply the larger tailgate capacity to a truck priced with the standard body. The published full width is wider than the tire track.

A brochure configuration is not an individual marketplace machine. Serial/PIN and build information are required for exact verification.

Used 735 inspection priorities

  • Inspect hoist mounts, body-floor wear and articulation-joint play; ask which liners or tailgate are included in the sale.
  • Demonstrate the installed body-height limit and camera functions under the manufacturer procedure, and review brake and suspension maintenance. These are inspection priorities, not claims of recurring failures.

Configuration-aware inspection: these checks are triggered by machine category, installed configuration and technology package. Brochure-listed technology must be physically present, active, licensed and calibrated on the used machine.

Hours, condition and ownership cost

Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.

Cost drivers to model

  • Estimate useful truck hours from loading, travel, queue and return time. A larger rated load helps only if the loading fleet and haul road support it.
  • Compare tire wear, body repairs and optional tailgate refurbishment as separate quote lines. Use the ownership calculator with your utilization and service quotes, rather than assuming a fuel saving.
