This Caterpillar 12M2 VHP Plus is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or grading machine — a type of heavy construction equipment designed to create flat, precisely graded surfaces for road building, site preparation, and maintenance of unpaved roads and work areas. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a broad product range spanning earthmoving machinery, engines, and infrastructure equipment serving industries from construction and quarrying to oil and gas.
This 2012 machine is based in Texas, USA, and has accumulated 5,460 hours of use. It is powered by an engine rated at 176 HP and carries an operating weight of 42,383 lbs, placing it firmly in the mid-size motor grader class suited to road construction and maintenance applications.
The grader is equipped with a 14-foot moldboard, which is the primary working blade used to distribute and finish material across the cut width. The machine features a cab with air conditioning for operator comfort, along with a backup camera to aid visibility and safety during reversing manoeuvres. Rippers are fitted at the rear, allowing the machine to break up hardened or compacted ground before grading passes. Notably, this unit is specified as NO DEF, meaning it does not require diesel exhaust fluid, which can simplify fluid management and maintenance in certain operating environments.
This motor grader is offered for sale at $144,900, with finance available.
