2024 - Caterpillar 160 AWD Motor Grader

About this machine

This Caterpillar 160 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine designed for fine grading, road maintenance, surface levelling, and material spreading across highway, civil engineering, and earthmoving applications. Caterpillar is one of the world's most established manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, supplying machines to contractors, municipalities, mining operations, and infrastructure developers globally. This example was built in 2024, is currently located in Wyoming, USA, and is offered at $699,000.

The machine is equipped with Cat Grade 3D with mastless all-wheel drive, placing it among the more technologically advanced configurations in its class for precision grade control without the need for traditional mast-mounted hardware. All-wheel drive is integrated throughout multiple system packages on this unit, including the Cold Weather Plus Package AWD, standard fan for AWD, and front fenders configured for AWD — indicating the drivetrain arrangement is central to how this grader has been specified and fitted out.

The base configuration is described as BASE + 6, encompassing options coded WM, WT, DA1, DA2, FL, and RIP, suggesting a comprehensive package build that includes a ripper arrangement among its attachments. A snow wing frame-ready mount with halogen lighting is included, and the machine carries a Snow arrangement designation, making it well suited to winter road maintenance and snow removal operations. The front lift group features manual front mounting to a 1.5-inch ANSI standard.

For cold-climate operation, the specification is thorough. The coolant is mixed 50/50 to a protection level of -35°C (-31°F), the fuel antifreeze is rated to -25°C (-13°F), and a 120V engine coolant heater is fitted. The starter is an electric extreme-duty unit, and the global arrangement is listed as low ambient — all consistent with a machine prepared for demanding cold-weather deployment. Outside mirrors are heated and run on 24V.

Lighting across the machine is extensive. Front headlights are high-output halogen, roading lights are halogen, and working lights are a plus-rated halogen specification. Service lighting is internal. An LED strobe beacon is fitted as auxiliary lighting, and the machine also carries a camera. A SY-KLONE precleaner is installed on the air intake system to extend filter life in dusty or debris-heavy environments.

Additional features include an articulation guard, automatic full articulation control, a circle saver to reduce wear on the circle drive ring, an axle hose guard, a stable blade system for improved blade control consistency, a high-speed engine oil drain, and a standard fuel tank. The Roll On-Roll Off feature is noted, along with a Serialized Technical Media Kit and an online owner's manual. The seat belt and English (US) decals are confirmed. The engine meets Tier 4 emissions standards. The equipment certification code is listed as NCR.
