This Caterpillar 140M is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine designed to create and maintain flat, precisely graded surfaces on roads, civil works sites, and earthmoving projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-standing reputation for building robust, high-productivity machines used across civil engineering, infrastructure, mining, and resource industries globally.
This 2009 model is located in New South Wales, Australia, and is offered at $91,503 excluding GST. The machine has accumulated 12,700 hours of recorded use and is presented in used condition.
Power comes from a Cat C7 engine, Caterpillar's own inline six-cylinder diesel unit, paired with a power shift transmission that allows the operator to change gears under load without interrupting ground drive — an important feature in grading applications where continuous blade pressure and smooth speed control are essential. The operator station is an air-conditioned ROPS cab, providing a safe, climate-controlled working environment on long shifts in Australian conditions.
The 14-foot moldboard is the machine's primary grading tool, used to cut, move, and spread material across the working surface. Multi-shank rippers are fitted to the rear, allowing the machine to break up hard or compacted ground before grading passes — a practical combination for road maintenance and site preparation work. A push block is also included, enabling the grader to push material in front of the machine or work in conjunction with other equipment on site.
Together, the ripper, push block, and 14-foot blade make this a well-equipped, versatile grader suited to a broad range of road construction and maintenance tasks.
