Caterpillar is upgrading its legendary grader with improvements to efficiency, productivity and operator comfort.
Safety and efficiency rely on good visibility, so the Cat 140 Motor Grader features the successful cab design from the 120 next gen models. Larger windows provide better visibility out of the cab, ensuring better all-round views, including moldboard and tires, while an as-standard rearview camera augments direct lines of sight.
The camera feed is integrated into the 10-inch touchscreen, which also provides operator access to other next generation functions such as Cat Grade. A new seat takes advantage of the next gen cab’s foot space and hip room, offering a variety of adjustments to improve operator comfort and help reduce fatigue. The cab features revised seatbelt and safety harness options.
The new Cat 140 continues its proven design and reliability to help with low operating costs, coupled with favourable fuel efficiency. The 140 features banked and centralized access checkpoints that can help make daily maintenance a breeze rather than a bind.
The new Cat 140 also offers expanded technology capabilities, from simple features to improve operator’s comfort, like the stable blade, to fully calibrated 3D systems to help reduce the total cost of ownership.
Caterpillar began manufacturing motor graders in 1931 with the No. 9 Cat Auto Patrol. The first motor graders boasted lever and steering wheel controls and a 9-foot moldboard. Presently, Caterpillar manufactures 13 motor grader models in facilities across the globe. Source
