This Caterpillar 140H is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine built to grade, level, and finish road surfaces, earthwork, and other large flat areas. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, supplying machinery to road building, mining, infrastructure, and site preparation industries worldwide. This example was manufactured in the USA in 1996 and is currently located in California.
The machine is equipped with a 14-foot blade, giving it a wide grading pass suited to road maintenance and earthmoving work. A push block is fitted to the front, allowing the grader to move material ahead of the machine, while a rear ripper is attached at the back for breaking up compacted ground, hardpan, or light rock before grading passes are made. These three attachments together make this a well-configured, multi-function machine capable of handling a broad range of site conditions.
Power is provided by a CAT 3306 DI Turbo engine — a turbocharged direct-injection diesel from Caterpillar's own 3300 series, a well-established inline six-cylinder powerplant known for durability and broad parts availability. The machine rides on 17.5R25 radial tyres, a size commonly fitted to motor graders of this class. The operator works from an enclosed cab, providing weather protection and a more comfortable working environment.
This 1996 Caterpillar 140H is priced at $89,500 USD.
