This Caterpillar 140M2 is a motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — a heavy construction machine designed to create flat, accurately graded surfaces for road building, site preparation, and earthmoving work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with motor graders forming a core part of their product range and serving contractors, municipalities, and mining operations across the globe.
This 2012 machine is offered in used condition from Texas, USA, and is priced at $109,000. It is equipped with a 14-foot by 27-inch by 1-inch moldboard blade, a standard size well suited to highway maintenance and grading operations. The machine runs on 17.5R25 MX XTLA single-ply rated tyres, a robust radial tyre specification commonly used on motor graders for a balance of traction and wear on mixed road and gravel surfaces. A rear-mounted ripper is also included, allowing the operator to break up compacted ground or light rock before grading, adding versatility to the machine's capabilities. The engine meets Tier 4 Interim emissions standards, reflecting the regulatory requirements in effect for construction equipment of this era and making it compliant for operation in markets that enforce those standards.
