This Caterpillar 16G is a used motor grader — sometimes called a road grader or grading machine — a heavy construction machine designed to create flat, precisely graded surfaces for road building, land levelling, and site preparation. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established presence in earthmoving, road building, and infrastructure projects globally.
Power comes from a Caterpillar 3406T engine rated at 250 horsepower, providing the pulling force and blade control demanded by demanding grading work. The machine is fitted with a 16-foot moldboard blade, giving it a wide cutting pass suited to road construction and maintenance tasks where efficiency and surface finish are important. A rear ripper is included, extending the machine's capability to break up compacted ground or light rock before grading passes are made.
The unit registers 8,786 hours on the meter and has an operating weight of 60,150 lbs, reflecting the robust, heavy-duty construction typical of a machine in this class. The grader is located in Mexico and is offered for sale at USD 85,000, representing a 1982 unit with the engine, blade, and ripper combination described above.
