This 2012 Caterpillar 140M2 VHP is a motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — a heavy road-construction and earthmoving machine used to create flat, precisely graded surfaces for highways, haul roads, construction sites, and similar applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, serving construction, mining, infrastructure, and earthmoving industries globally with a full range of machines built to demanding commercial and industrial standards.
The grader is rated at 183 horsepower and carries an operating weight of 40,565 pounds, putting it firmly in the mid-size class for this type of machine. With 8,741 hours recorded, it has seen substantial working life while remaining a viable and practical option for buyers seeking a capable, proven unit at a used-equipment price point.
The cab is equipped with air conditioning and pilot controls, delivering an operator environment suited to extended shifts in hot climates — a practical consideration given the machine's location in Texas. Pilot controls provide smooth, responsive hydraulic inputs that reduce operator fatigue during precision grading work. The unit is also fitted with rippers, an attachment mounted at the rear that allows the machine to break up compacted soils, hardpan, or light rock before grading, extending its versatility on tougher job sites.
Finance is available on this machine. It is offered in used condition, located in Texas, USA, and is listed at $129,900.
