This Caterpillar 16G is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or grading machine — currently located in Chile. Motor graders are heavy construction and road-maintenance machines used to fine-grade and level soil, gravel, and other materials, forming smooth, precise surfaces for road construction, land grading, and civil engineering projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and earthmoving equipment, serving industries that include road building, mining, and infrastructure development across the globe.
The machine is powered by a Caterpillar 3406 engine displacing 14.6 litres, delivering a maximum power output of 186.4 kW, with full effective power available across the upper gear range (speeds 7 and 8). The transmission provides eight forward gears and eight reverse gears, enabling a maximum speed of 43.6 km/h in both directions, which allows the operator to work efficiently across a wide range of grading passes and travel conditions.
In terms of dimensions, the machine has an overall length of 9,980 mm and stands 3,750 mm to the top of the cab. The width between the outer tyres measures 3,100 mm, matching the blade base of 3,100 mm, and the wheel axle spacing is recorded at 6,960 mm. The turning radius is 8.2 metres, which is a relevant figure for manoeuvring on tight road sections or confined job sites. The total operating weight of the machine is 24,520 kg, reflecting the substantial, stable build typical of a large motor grader intended for heavy-duty road and grading work.
