CATERPILLAR 924G WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Caterpillar 924G is a compact wheel loader designed for versatile material handling and earthmoving operations. Powered by a 6.6L 3056E DIT ATAAC diesel engine, it delivers 129 hp (97 kW) net power at 2300 rpm, supported by a variable displacement axial piston implement pump with a flow capacity of 304.4 gal/min (1,151 L/min). The machine has an operating weight of approximately 25,000 lbs (11,340 kg) and a fuel capacity of 59.5 gallons (223 L). Its countershaft transmission offers 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, with maximum speeds of 24.3 mph (39 kph) forward and 13.7 mph (21 kph) reverse. The loader’s breakout force reaches 21,806 lbs (9,891 kg), providing strong material grasping power. The 924G features bucket capacities ranging from 2 to 2.4 cubic yards (1.7 to 2 m³) heaped and 2 cubic yards struck, with a bucket width of 8.4 ft (2.5 m). Maximum lift height is around 12.8 ft (4 m), with a dump clearance at max lift of 9.3 ft (3 m) and a reach of 3.3 ft (1 m). Its wheelbase measures 9.2 ft (3 m), and overall length with the bucket on ground is 23.6 ft (7 m). Ground clearance stands at 1.5 ft (0.45 m), and width over tires is 7.8 ft (2.4 m). The rear axle oscillates 12°, enhancing maneuverability with a turning radius of 16.7 ft (5 m). Hydraulic system relief valve setting is 3,756 psi, with dump, lower, and raise times approximately 1.4 sec, 2.4 sec, and 5.1 sec respectively. The cab includes ROPS/FOPS safety features and a 24V electrical system with an 80A alternator. The 924G’s robust design includes a Versalink one-piece boom for strength and operator visibility, optimized for demanding loading and lifting tasks in construction, agriculture, and industrial applications.
