Technical Description

The Caterpillar 24H Motor Grader is a heavy-duty machine designed for demanding grading applications, featuring a robust 3412E HEUI engine with 1647.7 cubic inches displacement and 500 hp maximum power. With an overall length of 46.5 ft, a wheelbase of 33.6 ft, and a width over tires of 13.9 ft, it offers excellent stability and maneuverability. The 24.1 ft moldboard, 42.1 in height, and 2.1 in thickness provide efficient material handling, while the circle allows a maximum lift above ground of 25 in. The front axle delivers 32 degrees of total oscillation and 18 degrees of wheel lean for superior ground conformity. Hydraulic system performance is enhanced by an axial piston pump with 134.2 gpm flow and a 3500 psi relief valve pressure. The machine operates on a 24-volt electrical system with a 100-amp alternator and is equipped with 29.5-29 tires. Steering articulation is 25 degrees, and the turning radius is 39.4 ft. The transmission offers 6 forward and 3 reverse gears, with a maximum forward speed of 23.5 mph and reverse speed of 22.5 mph. Standard operating weight is 136,576.4 lbs, with a fuel capacity of 318.9 gallons and hydraulic fluid capacity of 66.1 gallons. This configuration ensures reliable, high-performance grading in challenging environments.
