This Caterpillar 160M is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or a blade — a heavy construction machine designed to fine-grade and level soil, gravel, and paved surfaces for road building, maintenance, and earthmoving work. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, producing machines trusted across infrastructure, mining, and civil engineering industries globally. This example was built in 2016, is located in Manitoba, Canada, and is offered for sale at $243,461.
The machine is configured for snow arrangement, making it well suited to winter road maintenance operations in addition to standard grading work. It is fitted with a 14-foot moldboard, providing a generous blade width for efficient material movement and surface finishing across a single pass. The VHP Plus system — variable horsepower plus — allows the machine to deliver increased power output during demanding tasks such as blade work while managing fuel consumption during lighter duties, a feature valued in high-utilisation environments.
Auto Shift transmission simplifies operation by automatically selecting the appropriate gear, reducing operator fatigue during long shifts. A transmission guard is also fitted, offering protection to this critical drivetrain component in demanding or debris-heavy working conditions. The circle clutch allows the operator to disengage the ring gear, giving smoother circle and blade positioning control.
Additional hydraulic valves extend the machine's versatility, enabling the connection and control of supplementary hydraulic attachments beyond the standard configuration. Auxiliary lighting improves visibility during low-light or night operations, which is particularly relevant for year-round road maintenance work in northern climates. Front fenders are fitted, and mirrors are included to support safe all-round visibility from the cab.
The operator station is equipped with an air ride seat for improved comfort during extended operation over rough terrain. An AM/FM radio is also fitted. Tire size is noted as a specified feature in the listing, and prospective buyers should confirm the exact fitment directly from the seller. The equipment certification code listed is NCR.
