This Caterpillar 12M3 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 earthmoving work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognized names in heavy machinery, supplying construction, mining, and infrastructure industries with equipment built to demanding professional standards.
This 2018 machine is located in Texas, USA, and is offered at $164,000. It comes equipped with an air-conditioning cab for operator comfort and features joystick controls, providing a modern, ergonomic interface for precise blade management. The 14-foot moldboard gives the machine a wide working width well suited to highway and heavy grading applications, and a new cutting edge has been fitted, meaning the blade's wearing surface is fresh and ready for productive work.
The cold weather plus package is included, equipping the machine for reliable cold-start performance and operation in low-temperature conditions. A gravity engine oil drain is fitted, simplifying routine oil changes and reducing service time. The reverse fan assists with cooling system maintenance by periodically clearing debris from the radiator, helping to prevent overheating during demanding or dusty work. Tires are reported at approximately 90% remaining tread life, indicating strong usable life ahead without an immediate need for replacement. The seller reports no fluid leaks, suggesting the machine has been maintained to a satisfactory standard.
