CATERPILLAR 924F WHEEL LOADER

The Caterpillar 924F is a versatile wheel loader powered by a turbocharged Cat 3114 engine delivering 105 hp (78 kW) at 2400 rpm. It features a 4-cylinder, 268 cu in displacement engine optimized for power and performance. The loader has an operating weight of approximately 19,900 lbs (9,025 kg) and a wheelbase of about 8.8 ft (2.7 m), with overall dimensions roughly 21.5 ft (6.5 m) in length, 7.7 ft (2.3 m) in width over the tires, and 10.3 ft (3.1 m) in height to the top of the cab and ROPS/FOPS. The 924F carries a bucket with a 2.3 cubic yards (1.75 m³) heaped capacity and a struck capacity of 1.9 cubic yards (1.45 m³), with a bucket width of 7.8 ft (2.4 m). The bucket’s maximum pin height reaches 11.8 ft (3.6 m), allowing substantial reach and dump clearance of about 8.9 ft (2.7 m) at max lift. Hydraulic cycle times include a 1.3-second dump, 4.3-second raise, and 2.7-second lower with a pump flow of approximately 35 gallons per minute, operating under a relief valve setting of 3600 psi. The loader offers articulation angles of 40° and axle oscillation of 12° front and 24° rear, enhancing maneuverability with a minimum turning radius over tires of 201 in (5.1 m). The transmission is a 4-speed powershift with a top forward speed near 24 mph (37 kph) and three reverse gears. Fuel capacity is 41.5 gallons (157 liters), with various service fluid capacities designed for efficient maintenance. Robust breakout force of approximately 21,067 lbs (9,556 kg) supports heavy-duty loading tasks, making the 924F suitable for diverse construction and material handling applications.
