This Caterpillar 14M3 is a motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or grading machine — a heavy construction machine used to create and maintain flat, graded surfaces on roads, construction sites, and earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, supplying machinery to the construction, mining, road-building, and infrastructure sectors globally.
This 2019 machine is offered used from Queensland, Australia, and is presented in well-specified working order with a number of notable features. It is equipped with an enclosed cab featuring EROPS with air conditioning, providing a climate-controlled and rollover-protective operating environment. The machine is fitted with a 16-foot moldboard, a large blade well suited to heavy grading and road-building applications. Additional attachments include a pushblock and a ripper, extending the machine's versatility for breaking up compacted material and pushing stockpiles.
The tyres are 20.5R25 specification, with four brand-new drive tyres fitted, meaning the primary driven wheels have been replaced and carry no wear hours. Of particular significance to buyers evaluating drivetrain condition, the transmission has been fully rebuilt by a Caterpillar dealer and shows zero hours since that rebuild, offering a meaningful reduction in risk around one of the most critical and costly components on a machine of this type.
The hour meter records 3,191 hours, with the seller specifically noting these as idle hours, indicating that the machine has been on-site and powered but not under working load for the majority of its operating life. Priced at AU $488,528, this motor grader represents a machine with low working hours, fresh drive tyres, and a factory-standard transmission rebuild behind it.
