Equipment Overview
The Cat 824 is a wheel dozer built to combine the pushing power of a track dozer with the mobility of a wheeled machine. It has 302 kW (405 hp) of net power, an operating weight of 34,004 kg with the standard straight blade fitted, and a 5.0 m³ blade capacity in that configuration, suited to surface mining cleanup, coal stockpiling, road maintenance, and reclamation work where speed between tasks matters.
Power comes from the Cat C15 engine, offered in a Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V/Korea Stage V/Japan 2014 rating or a Brazil MAR-1 rating equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3/EU Stage IIIA. A Cat planetary powershift transmission with Single Clutch Speed Shifting and a lock-up-clutch torque converter delivers smooth, efficient shifting across four forward and four reverse gears, and pilot-operated, load-sensing steering gives the articulated frame precise, responsive control. Multiple blade options are available, from the 5.0 m³ straight blade up to a 16.2 m³ coal blade.
