Quick Data is a snapshot of new and used construction equipment sales trends from Fusable’s EDA equipment financing data and EquipmentWatch auction price service.
Articulated dump truck sales slowed year over year, according to Fusable’s latest EDA equipment financing data.
Sales of new financed articulated dump trucks dropped 7.4% to 1,948 units from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, while sales of used financed ADTs fell 4.9% to 1,883 units.
Bell, Caterpillar, Deere, Komatsu and Volvo CE have consistently ranked among the top five ADT manufacturers by sales. Looking at data from the past year, Cat moved to the front of the pack with a 30.3% share, overtaking Volvo CE (28.2%) as the top seller of new financed articulated dump trucks. Komatsu (12.9%) made gains on Deere (12.4%), moving into the third position, and Bell (8.5%) maintained its fifth-place position year over year.
A Quick Look at Popular ADT Models
For the period, the most popular ADT lineup features both old standbys and newly updated models with fresh features and technology. The top three new financed models are the Cat 745, Cat 730 and Komatsu HM400-5.
Here’s a look at the key features of each machine:
With 251 new financed units sold during the period, the Cat 745 was the best-selling articulated dump truck in the United States. The three-axle truck, powered by a 511-horsepower Cat C18 diesel engine, has a 45.2-ton rated payload and a 33.4-cubic-yard capacity. Cat last refreshed the 745 in 2017, giving it a larger cab with advanced features, including Stability Assist to help prevent rollovers.
Caterpillar
Cat unveiled a next-generation version of its second-highest selling ADT, the 30-ton-capacity 730, in September, calling the latest design “more comfortable, responsive and user-friendly than ever.” Though not commercially available yet, production is scheduled to begin in January 2026. It will feature a redesigned dump body, improved payload weighing and additional standard and optional operator assistance and safety technology.
Komatsu
Coming in third is Komatsu’s well-known 44-ton HM400-5, which made its debut in 2015. A 473-horsepower diesel engine powers the truck. It has a low 10 1/2-foot loading height, designed to pair with 40- to 60-ton hydraulic excavators and 5.5- to 7.5-cubic-yard wheel loaders. To meet growing demand, Komatsu began producing its HM440-5 trucks at its factory in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in 2023. The trucks are also manufactured at Komatsu’s plant in Ibaraki, Japan.
Two models from Volvo CE rounded out the top five: the 45-ton-capacity A45G and 30-ton-capacity A30G.
