1998 - 2004 JOHN DEERE 624H WASTE HANDLER WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The John Deere 624H Waste Handler is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for demanding waste management and material handling applications. Powered by a John Deere PowerTech 6068H turbocharged diesel engine producing 160 net horsepower at 2,200 rpm with 575 lb-ft of maximum torque at 1,400 rpm, this machine delivers robust performance in challenging environments. The loader features a 4 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity with an impressive 30,312 lbs breakout force, enabling efficient material loading and handling operations. The 624H measures 25.3 feet in length with bucket on ground, 8.5 feet in width over tires, and 11 feet in height to the top of cab, providing excellent maneuverability while maintaining substantial reach capabilities. With an operating weight of 38,859 lbs and mounted on 20.5-25 solid rubber tires, the machine delivers stability and traction across various surfaces. The hydraulic system utilizes a variable-displacement, axial piston pump with 55 gallons-per-minute maximum flow at 3,600 psi relief pressure, enabling rapid cycle times: 1.4-second dump, 5.8-second raise, and 3-second lower. The three-speed power shift transmission provides forward speeds up to 15 mph and reverse speeds to 16 mph, with a 17.1-foot turning radius for navigating confined work areas. The machine's 24-volt electrical system, 70-gallon fuel capacity, and comprehensive fluid capacities support extended operational periods with minimal downtime, making it an ideal solution for waste handling, recycling, and material processing facilities.
