Caterpillar Wheel Loader 924 | 11.7 ton

The Caterpillar 924 series covers several generations of wheel loaders.
Based on your specific weight class of 11.7 tons (11,700–11,800 kg), you are likely looking at the Cat 924K or the latest 924 (Next Gen) model.

Key Features

Optimized Z-bar Linkage: Combines the digging power of a Z-bar with the parallel lift of a tool carrier.
Hydrostatic Transmission: Provides step-less acceleration and adjustable “rim-pull” to reduce tire wear.
Performance Series Buckets: Designed for easier loading and higher fill factors.

Comparison: Older Models (924G / 924H)

If you are looking at a used unit, the specs differ slightly for older generations:
924G: Generally lighter (~11.3 tons) with a 3056E engine (137 hp).
924H: Similar weight class (~11.6 tons) but uses the C6.6 ACERT engine.
Note: The exact operating weight depends on whether the unit has a “Standard Lift” or “High Lift” arm configuration, as well as the specific tire and counterweight package installed.
Would you like me to compare these specs against a similar model like the Cat 930 or a competitor like the Volvo L70?
