This 2017 Caterpillar 140M3 is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy construction machine built to fine-grade and level soil, gravel, and road surfaces with precision. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, serving construction, mining, road-building, and infrastructure industries across the globe. This example is located in Colorado, USA, and is offered at $268,000.
Power comes from a Cat C9.3 engine producing 252 horsepower and meeting Tier 4 Final emissions standards, supported by a Clean Emissions Module. The machine is equipped with a heavy-duty electric starter, a 24-volt electrical system backed by 1,125 CCA batteries with a 150-amp output, and a 30-amp charging receptacle. Auto idle and auto shut-down functionality is included for fuel economy during downtime, and the engine oil drain is gravity-fed for straightforward servicing. Coolant is mixed 50/50 to a protection rating of -35°C (-31°F). A non-Sy-Klone and Sy-Klone precleaner arrangement is noted, along with a counterweight push plate.
The operator environment is a Plus-specification cab with air conditioning, heat, defrost fan, rear-window defroster fan, and interior lighting. The seat is heated and air-suspended with a seat belt fitted. Controls are configured with an E-joystick throttle system. The cab features an AM/FM Bluetooth radio, Cat Messenger instrument cluster, and an online owner's manual. Visibility and safety equipment includes front headlights, plus-grade halogen working lights, a low-profile beacon, two rear cab beacons, a federal light bar, and outside-mounted mirrors. A reversing travel alarm and a 12-volt power port are also present. The cab is fitted with three-wiper washer units and a headliner.
Grade management is assisted by Grade Control X Slope technology and Stable Blade functionality, offering improved accuracy during grading operations. Auto articulation with full and demo modes is fitted, along with auto differential lock/unlock. Disc brakes provide the primary stopping system, supplemented by supplemental steering and ether starting aid. The drawbar is present, and the blade is equipped with carbide insert cutting edges for extended wear life.
