This Caterpillar 140M3 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine designed to fine-grade and level earthen or aggregate surfaces for road building, site preparation, and maintenance work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long history of producing motor graders trusted on civil engineering projects, highway construction, and earthworks applications across the globe.
This 2015 machine is located in Colorado, USA, and is offered in as-is, as-received condition at $210,000. It is equipped with all-wheel drive, making it well suited to demanding terrain and low-traction conditions. Power comes from a C9.3 engine, and the electrical system is supported by a 150-amp alternator and an extra-heavy-duty battery. An extreme-duty electric starter and an ether starting aid are fitted, and the machine includes a cold weather plus package, cold start provisions for transmission oil and brakes, and 0W-weight hydraulic oil — a combination of features clearly specified for operation in harsh winter environments.
The blade setup consists of a 14-foot by 27-inch by 1-inch moldboard fitted with 8-inch by ¾-inch curved cutting edges, without overlay end bits, and a 2-foot right-hand blade extension. Notably, this unit does not include a ripper. A manual front lift group is fitted, along with front mounting provisions.
The operator's cab is fully enclosed with air conditioning, a heater, and an AM/FM radio. Comfort and visibility features include an air-suspension cloth seat with seat belt, outside heated 24V mirrors, a sun shade, a rear wiper and washer, a rear defroster fan, a rear window heater, a 120V engine coolant heater, and standard glass throughout. Lighting is extensive, with high-beam front headlights, heel work lights (3×3), midframe toe work lights, and plus-grade halogen working lights, all managed via a dedicated work lighting switch. A warning light mounting and auxiliary lighting are also included.
Safety and drivetrain protection features include an articulation guard and a transmission guard. A SY-KLONE precleaner is fitted to protect the air intake. Additional equipment noted includes a tow hitch, a CB communication converter, a camera, and an online owner's manual. The machine carries U.S. English decals and is configured under a low ambient global arrangement. The equipment certification code is NCR, and pricing was last updated in September 2024.
