This Caterpillar 12 is a used motor grader, a type of heavy road-construction machine commonly referred to as a road grader or blade. Motor graders are used primarily for fine grading and levelling of road surfaces, sub-bases, and earthwork, drawing a long angled blade across the ground to achieve precise gradients and smooth finishes. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machines to road-building, mining, civil engineering, and infrastructure industries globally.
This particular machine is located in California, USA, and carries ex-county provenance, indicating it was previously operated by a county government authority. It is equipped with a scarifier, which is used to break up and loosen compacted material ahead of the blade, and features side shift capability on the blade, allowing lateral adjustment of the cutting edge without repositioning the entire machine. The unit starts directly via direct start configuration.
Buyers should note that this grader is offered with a reported bad engine, meaning it will require mechanical attention before being returned to productive service. It is sold in used, as-described condition with EROP (equipment remaining on property) terms applying.
