This Caterpillar 140G is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — built in 1986 and currently located in Texas, USA, offered at $69,000. Motor graders are heavy construction machines used primarily for fine grading, leveling, and shaping surfaces on road construction and maintenance projects, as well as earthmoving and site preparation work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognized manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing durable, high-output machines serving contractors, civil engineers, and infrastructure operators across the globe.
This machine is equipped with an enclosed cab fitted with air conditioning, providing a controlled working environment for the operator. It carries a 14-foot moldboard, which is the primary grading blade used to cut, move, and distribute material across the work surface. A rear scarifier is fitted, allowing the machine to break up and loosen compacted ground or existing road surfaces ahead of regrading. A multi-shank ripper is also included, adding further capability for breaking hard or consolidated material. The machine additionally features a push block, which allows it to be used in conjunction with other equipment or to move material from the front.
Accumulators are present on the machine, which are hydraulic components used to maintain consistent blade pressure and smooth out hydraulic response during operation. The unit rides on 14x24 tires, and it is described as presenting good paint, indicating a well-maintained external appearance for a machine of its age.
