This Caterpillar 12M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — a heavy earthmoving machine primarily used for fine grading, levelling, and surface finishing on roads, construction sites, and large earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, building machines trusted across infrastructure, road building, mining, and general civil contracting industries around the globe.
This 2018 machine is located in Oklahoma, USA, and is offered at $194,000. It is presented in used condition and comes equipped with a substantial list of factory and auxiliary options that make it well suited to demanding site conditions and extended working hours.
The cooling system is filled with a 50/50 antifreeze mix rated to -35°C (-31°F), and the machine includes a 120-volt engine coolant heater, indicating readiness for cold-weather operation — a point reinforced by the inclusion of a dedicated cold-weather package. Engine servicing is facilitated by a high-speed engine oil drain. Starting is handled by a heavy-duty electric starter, and the fuel system features a standard tank configuration.
Lighting is comprehensively specified. Front high-beam halogen headlights are fitted alongside fold-down arm lights and additional halogen working lights, providing strong illumination for low-light or night-time operations. A warning light mounting and an auxiliary lighting package are also included, along with a camera system to support operator visibility around the machine.
The operator environment includes outside-mounted mirrors, a seat belt, and an English-language instrument configuration with US-specification decals. An online owner's manual is provided. The articulation system is equipped with an auto-articulation demonstration control setup, and hydraulic lines are configured in a standard arrangement without an accumulator.
Undercarriage and structural protection includes a transmission guard and a hitch guard group. The push plate is configured as a counterweight. A ripper and scarifier attachment is fitted at the rear, adding versatility for breaking up hardened or compacted surfaces prior to grading. The machine is built to a low-ambient global arrangement and carries a non-Sy-Klone precleaner configuration. The equipment certification code is noted as NCR.
