This Caterpillar 12M is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create flat, graded surfaces on roads, construction sites, and civil earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, producing a broad range of machines used across infrastructure, earthmoving, and resource industries globally.
This 2013 machine is located in New South Wales, Australia, and is offered at $134,576 excluding GST. It has accumulated 8,400 hours of use and is described as an ex-council machine, indicating it has been operated within a local government fleet.
Power comes from a Cat C7 engine, and the operator environment is an air-conditioned ROPS cabin, providing both safety compliance and comfort for extended operation. The 14-foot moldboard is the primary working tool, used for grading, levelling, and shaping material across a wide cutting width. The machine is equipped with Caterpillar Grade Control, a technology system that assists operators in achieving precise grading elevations and slopes with greater accuracy and efficiency.
Additional attachments and features enhance its versatility on site. A push block is fitted to the front of the machine, useful for dozing and pushing material, and a spare tyre is included with it. The tyres currently fitted are reported to be in good condition. Rear rippers are installed, allowing the grader to break up compacted surfaces or light rock before grading. The machine is also fitted with an air line to the rear for trailer connection, adding practical towing capability.
