This Caterpillar 12M2 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine designed to fine-grade and level soil, gravel, and road surfaces for road building, maintenance, and site preparation work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries including road construction, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure development.
This 2014 machine is located in Nebraska, USA, and is offered at $125,000. It is configured with a comprehensive specification package that reflects professional road-construction and cold-weather operation. The blade setup centres on a 14-foot basic moldboard paired with a 24-inch by 24-inch by 7/8-inch left-hand extension blade, and the front lift group is manual, with front mounting and a front hitch and lift arrangement. The circle drive is equipped with a circle clutch, and steering is via joystick rather than a conventional wheel, offering precise directional control. Auto Shift transmission is fitted, and the drivetrain includes a differential lock and supplemental steering for additional traction and control in demanding conditions. A transmission guard provides mechanical protection to the drivetrain.
The cab is specified as Cab Plus with standard glass and is equipped for cold-climate work: the cold-weather package includes a 120-volt engine coolant heater, a snow precleaner, an ether aid starting aid, antifreeze windshield washer fluid provision, a defroster fan, and heated outside mirrors. The operator environment is further enhanced by the Comfort Package, an air-ride seat, joystick steering, throttle lock, and a towing hitch. An AM/FM radio is fitted, and the cab language is set to English.
Visibility and safety equipment is extensive. A rear-vision camera is installed, and the lighting specification includes high-output front headlights, a Working Lights Plus package, auxiliary lighting, and an LED warning strobe light with dedicated mounting. The hydraulic lines are standard configuration without an accumulator, and the machine is built on a box frame installation with a base and two-function configuration covering front lift and ripper.
Monitoring and connectivity are covered by a Caterpillar Product Link PL321 satellite telematics unit, which enables remote asset tracking and management. The machine also includes an online owner's manual. Tyres are 14.0R24 Bridgestone VUT 1-star MP, suited to road and grading applications. The VHP Plus variable horsepower system is noted as part of the specification, and the heavy-duty electric starter ensures reliable cold-weather cranking. The equipment certification code is listed as NCR.
