This 2018 Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine built to level, grade, and fine-finish surfaces for road building, site preparation, and earthmoving operations. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, supplying machines to contractors, civil engineers, and infrastructure developers across the globe.
Power comes from a Cat C9.3 engine rated at 252 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, paired with a heavy-duty electric starter and a 150-amp alternator to support the machine's extensive electrical equipment. An ether starting aid and a cold weather package are also fitted, along with a 120V engine coolant heater and a low-ambient global arrangement, making this grader well-suited to operation in cold or demanding climates such as those found in Colorado.
The grading assembly centres on a 14-foot by 24-inch by 7/8-inch moldboard equipped with an 8-inch by 3/4-inch curved cutting edge, without overlay end bits. Hydraulic oil is specified as 10W, and additional ripper lines are fitted to support the ripper and scarifier attachment included with the machine. A counterweight push plate is also present.
The operator environment includes an air-suspension cloth seat with seat belt, heated outside mirrors (24V), standard glass, an AM/FM radio with CD player, a Cat Messenger digital display, sun shade, and an online owner's manual. Climate comfort is supported by a rear window defroster fan. A gravity drain for engine oil, a standard fuel tank, and a drawbar toolbox with 12V accessory port round out the cab and service features.
Lighting is comprehensively equipped, including low-beam front headlights, heel work lights (3×3), midframe toe work lights, plus halogen working lights, a federal light kit, a warning light mounting, and a work lighting switch. A rearview mirror with Eco Mode, auto articulation (demo configuration), auto differential lock/unlock, disc brakes on all wheels, and a travel alarm are among the operational and safety features. A SY-KLONE precleaner, transmission guard, hitch guard group, Ether starting aid, extra-heavy-duty batteries, and a communication converter are also specified. Decals and language settings are configured for English (U.S.). This machine carries a Cat Certified Used designation and is offered as-is/as-received, located in Colorado, USA, and is listed at $278,780.
