This Caterpillar 12M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create flat, precisely graded surfaces for road building, site preparation, and maintenance of unpaved roads and surfaces. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries including road construction, mining, agriculture, and infrastructure development across the globe.
This 2014 machine is located in Nebraska, USA, and is offered at $125,000. It is equipped with a 14-foot moldboard, giving it a substantial working width suited to grading operations on highways, rural roads, and large earthwork projects. The machine is configured with a snow arrangement, front hitch and lift, and a towing hitch, making it well suited to winter road maintenance and snow-clearing applications in addition to standard grading work.
The cold weather capability of this grader is particularly well developed. It includes a Cold Weather Plus Package, a 120V engine coolant heater for cold-start reliability, an extreme-duty electric starter, antifreeze windshield washer, outside heated mirrors, and a defroster fan — a combination of features that clearly positions this machine for demanding winter operating environments consistent with its Nebraska location.
Operator comfort and visibility are addressed through an air ride seat with seatbelt and indicator, Bluetooth radio, a camera system, auxiliary lighting, internal service lights, and a front-mounted lift for improved forward visibility and versatility. A SY-KLONE precleaner is fitted to protect the engine air intake in dusty conditions, and the machine runs a standard hydraulic line arrangement without an accumulator.
Additional features include an auto shift transmission, differential lock for improved traction, front fenders, roll on-roll off configuration, throttle lock, articulation guard, and a low ambient global arrangement suited to cold-climate operation. The machine ships with English (U.S.) decals, an online owner's manual, and carries an NCR equipment certification code.
