This Caterpillar 160M VHP Plus is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or blade — a heavy road-construction and maintenance machine used to level, grade, and shape surfaces for roads, highways, and work sites. Caterpillar is one of the world's best-known manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-standing reputation for producing durable, high-capacity machines across earthmoving, road-building, and material-handling applications. This example was built in 2015, carries 13,365 hours of use, and is located near Westlock, Alberta.
Power comes from a Cat C9 engine producing 248 horsepower, running without a diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) system. The machine is equipped with joystick steering, which gives the operator precise, low-effort blade control, and features a differential lock for improved traction in difficult underfoot conditions. A positive air shutoff is also fitted, which automatically cuts engine airflow in the event of a runaway situation — a standard safety feature on equipment operating in certain environments.
The blade arrangement consists of a 14-foot (4.27 m) moldboard with a 2-foot extension, bringing the total working width to 16 feet when the extension is deployed. A snow wing is included, making the machine well suited to winter road maintenance in addition to standard grading work. Rear auxiliary hydraulics expand the machine's attachment capability further.
The enclosed cab is fitted with an air ride seat, contributing to operator comfort during long shifts. Tyres are 17.5R25. Running gear has received documented major maintenance during the machine's service life: a complete transmission rebuild was carried out at 4,707 hours at a cost of $45,000, and a four tandem bearing rebuild was completed by Finning at 6,302 hours at a cost of $28,000. These work orders are available to support the machine's service history. The unit is priced at $146,007 CAD, representing a significant reduction from its original purchase price of $229,900, and is offered by an AMVIC-licensed dealer in Alberta.
