This Caterpillar 12G is a motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — a heavy piece of construction and road-maintenance equipment used to level, shape, and finish surfaces such as roadbeds, gravel roads, and construction sites. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for durable, high-productivity machines used across earthmoving, road building, and infrastructure applications.
This particular machine is a 1989 model offered in used condition from Kentucky, USA, and is described by the seller as all original and in very good condition — a notable claim for a unit of this vintage, suggesting it has been well maintained and has not undergone significant modifications or component replacements.
The grader is equipped with a mid-mount scarifier, a tined attachment positioned beneath the machine's frame that is used to break up and loosen compacted surfaces ahead of the blade pass, making it well suited to reworking hardened road surfaces, gravel, or dried dirt. The machine rides on tyres, a robust, wide-footprint size appropriate for the demands of grading work on unpaved and semi-prepared surfaces. The asking price is $49,900.
