Caterpillar offers a complete range of road building equipment to suit the varying needs of the customer. For example, there are many different applications a Motor Grader can complete, such as; building and maintaining road networks, side slop construction, ditch (drain) building, cleaning and maintenance, ripping soil in greenfield construction, scarifying of sealed and unsealed roads for rehabilitation. Traditionally in developing markets, hydraulic excavators, bulldozers or wheel loaders are used to carry out work that is more suited to be effectively completed with a Motor Grader with the capability of better finished tolerance.

The Cat Motor Grader is designed keeping in mind to lower maintenance and ownership costs to assist owners to benefit from higher productivity and profit potential. Filter replacement schedules are optimized to extend service intervals. All daily operator maintenance checks and filter replacement positions are located on the one side of the machine centrally located to assist personnel to complete service requirements quickly and efficiently.
