This Caterpillar 140G is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — offered for sale from Mexico at $68,500. Motor graders are heavy construction and road-maintenance machines used to level, shape, and finish graded surfaces, from road subbase preparation and ditching to finish grading on highways, mine haul roads, and earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction, mining, and earthmoving equipment, and its motor graders have a long-established reputation for durability in demanding field conditions.
This machine is powered by a Caterpillar 3306 turbocharged engine producing 150 horsepower, providing the torque and reliability that turbocharged inline-six diesels of this family are known for in grading applications. Drive configuration is 6×6, meaning all six wheels are driven, which improves traction on soft, loose, or uneven ground compared to a standard tandem-drive arrangement — a practical advantage when working on unprepared surfaces or in variable terrain conditions such as those common across Mexico.
The moldboard measures 14 feet in width, giving the machine a broad working cut suited to road construction, resurfacing, and large-area grading tasks. Tyres are sized 14-24, appropriate for the machine's operating weight and the loads generated during grading work. The machine has an operating weight of 31,090 pounds, reflecting a substantial, full-size grader platform capable of handling demanding levelling and material-moving assignments.
The unit is listed in used condition, consistent with its 1994 manufacture date.
