This 2012 Caterpillar 16M is a used motor grader — sometimes referred to as a road grader or grading machine — offered for sale in Queensland, Australia, priced at $159,822. Motor graders are heavy construction machines used primarily for fine grading, levelling, and shaping of road surfaces, gravel pads, and earthworks. Caterpillar is one of the world's most widely recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for producing robust, high-hour machines used across civil construction, road building, and resource industries globally.
The machine has accumulated 41,000 hours on the frame, with the engine, transmission, final drives, differential, and radiator each recording 16,000 hours — indicating these major components have been replaced or rebuilt at some point during the machine's working life. The seat has 3,800 hours and the articulation cylinder 1,000 hours, suggesting more recent attention to operator comfort and steering components.
The grader is fitted with a notable package of ancillary equipment suited to regulated and safety-conscious work environments. Included items are a fire suppression system, hydraulic ladder, automatic lubrication system, a BreathSafe unit (a pressurised cabin filtration and monitoring system commonly required in mining and dusty environments), emergency stop systems (E-stops), and electrical isolators.
This machine is available through Hannaford Equipment, a licensed dealer, with finance and transport options offered to buyers.
