2018 - Caterpillar 140M3 Motor Grader

About this machine

This 2018 Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — built for fine grading, levelling, and surface finishing on road construction, site preparation, and maintenance projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, and their motor grader line is a longstanding part of that portfolio. This machine is located in Texas, USA, and is listed at $265,000.

Power comes from a Caterpillar C9.3 engine rated at 272 horsepower and certified to Tier 4 Final emissions standards, paired with a heavy-duty electric starter and a 150-amp alternator. An ether starting aid and a cold weather package are included, along with an engine coolant heater rated for 120V connection and a coolant mix configured to -35°C (-31°F), making the machine suitable for operation in low-ambient temperature conditions. Engine oil drain is set up for gravity drainage, and hydraulic oil is specified as 10W.

The moldboard measures 14 feet wide by 24 inches tall by 7/8-inch thick, fitted with an 8-inch by 3/4-inch curved cutting edge and end bits without overlay. A rear-mounted ripper/scarifier is included as part of the BASE + 1 (RIP) configuration, and additional hydraulic lines for the ripper are fitted. A hitch guard group and a counterweight push plate are also present.

The enclosed cab is equipped with air conditioning, heat, and defrost, and meets ROPS-FOPS protective structure standards. The operator seat is an air suspension cloth unit with a seat belt. Additional cab features include a floor mat, headliner, a sun shade, a rear window defroster fan, a rear wiper and washer on standard glass, a 12V power port, and an online owner's manual. Mirrors are outside heated 24V units, and an RV-style mirror is also noted.

Lighting is comprehensive: front low-beam headlights, heel-mounted 3×3 work lights, midframe toe work lights, and additional halogen working lights are fitted alongside a federal light bar and a warning light. A transmission guard, a Sy-Klone precleaner, and a fire suppression system are installed. The machine features auto articulation (noted as demo configuration), an instrument cluster panel, e-throttle control, a travel alarm, auto idle and shutdown with disc brakes, and auxiliary lighting. The battery is extra heavy-duty type. A communication converter is also included.
