This Caterpillar 160 AWD is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy road construction and maintenance machine used to create flat, graded surfaces, shape roadbeds, distribute gravel, and manage drainage profiles on highways, civil construction sites, and rural roads. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with motor graders forming a core part of its earthmoving line-up. This example was built in 2024, is located in Wyoming, USA, and is offered at $725,000.
The machine is equipped with Cat Grade 3D with a mastless all-wheel-drive configuration, providing machine-control-ready grading technology that supports precise blade positioning without the need for mast-mounted hardware. Full auto-articulation control is fitted, allowing the frame to articulate automatically for tighter manoeuvrability and improved stability during passes. The stable blade feature supports consistent cutting performance, and a circle saver is included to reduce wear on the ring gear assembly.
This grader is configured for demanding cold-weather and low-ambient operating environments. It includes the Cold Weather Plus Package for AWD machines, engine coolant pre-mixed to 50/50 at -35°C (-31°F), fuel antifreeze rated to -25°C (-13°F), a 120V engine coolant heater, and an extreme-duty electric starter. The global arrangement is specified as low ambient, making this machine well suited to the harsh winter conditions common to Wyoming and similar climates.
The snow arrangement designation is supported by a snow wing frame-ready mount with a halogen working light provision, front fenders for AWD, and an articulation guard. The machine is ordered to the Lane 3 specification and carries the Base + 6 package covering wet-weather materials, wear tires, two drainage arrangements, a front lift, and a ripper. The front lift group is a manual 1.5-inch ANSI front mounting configuration.
Lighting is comprehensive: front high halogen headlights, halogen roading lights, internal service lights, plus halogen working lights, and an LED strobe beacon for additional visibility. Mirrors are outside heated 24V units. A SY-KLONE precleaner is fitted to protect the air intake system, and the engine meets Tier 4 emissions standards. A camera is included, along with a roll-on/roll-off arrangement for transport, axle hose guards, and outside heated mirrors. The package is completed by a serialised technical media kit and online owner's manual, giving the operator full documentation support. English (U.S.) decals are fitted throughout.
