This Caterpillar 160 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy road construction and maintenance machine used primarily for grading, levelling, and finishing surfaces on roads, construction sites, and large earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with motor graders forming a central part of its road-building product range. This example was built in 2024 and is located in Wyoming, USA, offered at $747,000.
The machine is configured for all-wheel drive and is equipped with Cat Grade 3D with mastless AWD, a grade control technology that enables precise blade positioning without the need for mast-mounted receivers, supporting accurate grading operations across a wide variety of site conditions. Full auto articulation control is fitted, allowing the frame to articulate automatically and improving maneuverability, particularly in tight or complex working areas. The arrangement is designated for snow work, and a snow wing front mounting frame is included, prepared with a manual 1.5-inch ANSI lift group, making the machine well suited to winter road maintenance duties.
The cold weather capability of this unit is extensive. The cold weather plus package for AWD is fitted, and the engine coolant is a 50/50 mix rated to -35°C (-31°F), while the fuel antifreeze is rated to -25°C (-13°F). A 120V engine coolant heater is installed to aid cold-start reliability, and an extreme-duty electric starter is fitted, further supporting operation in low-ambient conditions. The global arrangement is specified as low ambient, reinforcing this machine's suitability for harsh winter environments such as those common in Wyoming and similar climates.
Lighting is comprehensively specified. The machine carries front high halogen headlights, halogen roading lights, plus halogen working lights, internal service lights, and an LED strobe beacon for additional visibility and site safety. Outside heated mirrors running on 24V are fitted, an important feature for cold-weather operation. The front fenders are configured for AWD.
Additional standard and optional equipment includes a circle saver, an articulation guard, an axle hose guard, a Sy-Klone precleaner, a standard fuel tank, and a standard AWD fan. A camera is fitted, along with a seat belt. The base specification includes six packages covering windshield moulding, work tools, and additional options noted as DA1, DA2, FL, and RIP. A serialized technical media kit and online owner's manual are included, along with roll on-roll off capability. The engine meets Tier 4 emissions certification. Decals are in US English. The equipment certification code is NCR, and the stable blade feature is included.
