Caterpillar’s prototype grader represents a new generation

Caterpillar is unveiling its 140 AWD Next Generation Motor Grader prototype. Weighing in at 20 tonnes, this machine benefits from a range of new technologies that boost productivity and finish quality. The firm says that the 140 AWD Next Generation Motor Grader combines two existing platforms into a common next generation platform for motor graders. The result is a machine that provides customers a wider array of operating features, technologies and configurations.

The cab design offers excellent all round visibility, making working easier and safer for the operator. High comfort is also claimed, while the machine benefits from the latest ergonomic controls to minimise operator fatigue. The technology packages meanwhile help to optimise productivity and finish quality, as well as ease of use, allowing inexperienced operators to deliver precision working. The AWD system and driveline technology meanwhile ensures high tractive effort in all underfoot conditions, as well as fuel savings and low emissions from the latest generation engine.
