In 1995, Caterpillar introduced the Cat® 24 Motor Grader specifically designed to build and maintain haul roads at mining sites with ultra-class haul trucks. Now in its third generation, the Cat 24 offers 399- to 518-kW (535- to 694-hp) power, 61 950 kg (136,575 lb) weight, a 7.3-m (24-ft) moldboard with an 8.5-m (28-ft) moldboard option, and technology as standard to work wide haul roads efficiently.
At a ceremony held on September 22, 2022, Caterpillar executives and motor grader production team members gathered in Decatur, Illinois, USA, to celebrate the production and sale of the 1,000th Cat 24 Motor Grader.
The machine is destined for Australia, where it was sold by Cat dealer, WesTrac Pty Ltd, to Rio Tinto Pilbara Operations, located in Perth, Australia. During the event, Caterpillar team members heard from both WesTrac and Rio Tinto Iron Ore representatives, through videotaped comments, which conveyed the value the Cat 24 brings to the miner’s operation.
