This 2016 Caterpillar 140M3 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — offered for sale in Queensland, Australia, and priced at $199,587. Motor graders are purpose-built for precision grading, levelling, and finishing of road surfaces, civil construction sites, and earthworks, where a long, adjustable blade is used to achieve accurate gradients and smooth profiles. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for building durable earthmoving machinery that is used across civil construction, mining, road building, and resource industries globally.
This machine has accumulated 7,000 hours of operation and carries a recorded operating weight of 20,827 kilograms. It is fitted with all-wheel drive, as indicated by its AWD configuration, which provides enhanced traction on loose or challenging surfaces. The operator environment consists of an enclosed, air-conditioned cab with joystick controls, offering a comfortable and ergonomically considered workspace suited to extended operating shifts.
The grading equipment includes a 14-foot blade, multi-shank rippers, and scarifiers, giving this machine a versatile range of earthworking capability beyond surface grading alone — the rippers and scarifiers allow for breaking up compacted material prior to regrading. Safety features include emergency stop controls and an isolator switch. New cutting edges have been fitted and a full service completed prior to dispatch, meaning the machine is ready for productive work from the point of delivery.
Overall dimensions are 10.1 metres in length, 2.51 metres in width, and 3.3 metres in height.
