Command Control Steering
Command Control steering allows one hand operation of steering and transmission controls.
Implement Control Lever
Low-effort implement control lever requires very low operator effort and reduced travel.
Integrated Transmission Controls
Integrated transmission controls are part of the steering control design, providing one hand operation.
Dual-Pedal Braking
Dual-pedal braking lets the left pedal function as a brake. The right pedal functions as a regular brake.
Electronic Autoshift Control
Electronic Autoshift control lets the operator choose manual or automatic shifting.
Transmission Neutralizer Lockout
Transmission neutralizer lockout lets the operator shut the neutralizer off, allowing the left pedal to work as a brake only.
Operator Station
Comfort and control - top-quality operator station will help maximize productivity.
Internal ROPS
Internal ROPS improves visibility and styling, giving the 824G a sleek new look.
Windows
Larger windows improve visibility in all directions.
Downsloped Hood
Downsloped hood also contribute to improved rearward visibility by allowing the operator to see objects on the ground closer to the machine.
Radio Ready

Increased storage space provides room for a lunch cooler, a thermos, a cup, coat hook and other personal items.
Seat
Caterpillar Contour Series seat is 6-way adjustable, providing comfort and support.
Monitoring System
824G Monitoring System provides gauges, tachometer/speedometer and 3-level warning to provide full time monitoring of key functions.
Ventilation
Improved ventilation ducts and vents, in better locations, provide more air flow to the operator and the windows. Post-mounted vents provide air to the rear window.
Air-Conditioning
Optional air-conditioning uses blended air for immediate temperature changes, clears windows with ease and improves operator comfort.
S-Blade
Multiple box-section construction with heat treated moldboard and DH-2 steel edges and end bits for long life.
Light Production
The S-Blade does light production including dozing and spreads fill, backfills, stockpiles, charges hoppers, and cleans up around shovels and trucks.
Controls
Lever at operator's right controls dozer lift and tip.
