Benefits & Features
Power Train
Performance
The 924Gz delivers fast response and aggressive performance in tough applications.
Engine
The six-cylinder, turbocharged 3056T has a strong reputation for reliability, durability and performance.
Transmission
Rugged, field-proven Caterpillar 4F/3R transmission uses heavy-duty components for durable and reliable operation.
Axles and Brakes
Enclosed design allows extended operation even in harsh environments.
Caterpillar Buckets
Choice of Buckets
Caterpillar offers two general purpose buckets for use on the 924Gz. Careful match of bucket design and machine operating characteristics provide the best digging, loading and carrying performance.
General Purpose Buckets
Caterpillar general purpose buckets are suitable for most applications.
Ground Engaging Tools
Ground engaging tools include hardened steel cutting edges, choice of short or long teeth and a variety of tooth adapters.
Versatility
For expanded machine versatility, other special purpose buckets are also available. Contact your Caterpillar Dealer for details.
Hydraulic System
Modular Hydraulic System
Modular Hydraulic System designed by Caterpillar provides low-effort operation and greater control.
Modular Hydraulic Control Valves
Modular hydraulic control valves add a new dimension of versatility to simplify and lower the cost of reconfiguring the machine for additional functions.
Ride Control Option
Ride control option provides a comfortable ride at all speeds.
Hydraulic System Features
Other hydraulic system features include compatibility with Cat biodegradable hydraulic oil and pressure taps allow quick diagnosis of the whole hydraulic system.
Operator Station
Cab
The G-Series cab is a spacious and comfortable work environment that includes larger windows, more interior room, better ergonomics, generous storage areas and a dramatic reduction in interior sound levels.
Access/Egress
Access/egress is through a two-door design. Both doors open fully and lock flush against the cab.
Windows
Larger windows have more glass area for exceptional visibility. All glass is flat so replacement panels are readily available and less costly than curved glass.
Sound
Interior sound power (dB) has been cut in half compared to former models by a combination of improved sound insulation and low-noise components.
Comfortable Operation
Comfortable operation is made possible by pilot hydraulic implement controls and padded, adjustable wrist rest.
Storage
Generous storage space includes a lockable compartment, coat hook and molded compartments designed to hold a lunchbox/cooler, thermos vacuum bottle, and a cup or can.
Seat
Seat options include a basic seat with full adjustable fore/aft position, seatback angle, bottom cushion height, armrest angle and suspension stiffness.
Customize the Cab
The cab can be customized with 12 VDC converter for powering 12V electronics, radio prep packages for installation of a radio later, sun visor for windshield, roll-down sun screen for rear window, external mirror package, and auxiliary lighting.
Serviceability
Access
Gull-wing doors with pneumatically-assisted lift cylinders effortlessly lift up for exceptional access to the engine and power train components.
Service
All service points are accessible from the ground level and are grouped in two locations.
Fan
A swing-out cooling fan allows quick, easy cleaning and service of the radiator. The fan is hydraulically driven and separated from the engine compartment.
Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) Valves
Scheduled Oil Sampling (SOS) valves are factory installed for improved access to engine, transmission and hydraulic oils. SOS valves make oil sampling quicker, cleaner and provides the best oil sample for analysis.
Other Service Features
Other service features include longer service intervals and spin-on filters for engine oil, transmission oil and hydraulic oil are easy to reach and change with minimal risk of oil spill.
Environmentally Responsible Design
Performance
The 924Gz provides more performance than ever before in a machine this size.
Emissions
The Cat 3056T is a low emission engine designed to meet current worldwide emission regulations.
Quiet Operation
Not only is the cab quiet, but spectators outside hear little noise too.
Sound Suppression
Extra sound suppression with an optional package makes the 924Gz even quieter so it ideal for sound-sensitive applications like urban and night work, and when used for snow removal.
Ozone Protection
The 924Gz's air conditioning unit uses only R-134a refrigerant which does not contain harmful chlorofluorocarbons (CFC's).
Biodegradable Hydraulic Oil
Caterpillar biodegradable hydraulic oil can be used in the 924Gz, providing a more environmentally-sound alternative to mineral-based oils.
Fewer Leaks and Spills
Lubricant fillers and drains are designed to minimize spills.
Longer Service Intervals
Five hundred-hour engine service intervals and Cat Extended Life Coolant/Antifreeze (up to 6,000-hour service) mean there is less disposal of used fluids.
Rebuildable Components
Many of the major components used in the 924Gz are designed for rebuildability. That means you can have high-quality, certified replacement parts at a fraction of the cost of new.
