This Caterpillar 12M VHP is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create and maintain flat, graded surfaces on roads, job sites, and earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, serving industries ranging from road building and infrastructure to quarrying and general civil contracting.
This example was built in 2011 and is offered in used condition from Virginia, USA. The seller describes it as a nice, tight machine, indicating it is in sound mechanical and structural condition. It has been fitted with new tires, which represent a meaningful recent investment and reduce the immediate maintenance burden for the next owner.
The grader is equipped with a rear ripper, a ground-engaging attachment mounted at the back of the machine used to break up compacted soil, hardpan, or light rock before grading passes. At the front, it carries a tool coupler with a scarifier, allowing the operator to attach and use the scarifier for loosening and tearing up hardened surface material ahead of the main blade. Together, the rear ripper and front scarifier make this a versatile, well-tooled machine suited to demanding site preparation and road rehabilitation work. The asking price is $130,000.
