CAT 14M3 MOTOR GRADERS

The 2018 Caterpillar 14M3 Motor Grader is a heavy-duty earthmoving machine engineered for precision grading and road construction applications. Powered by a Cat C13 ACERT engine, this grader delivers 238 net horsepower at 1,850 rpm with a maximum torque of 1,137 lb-ft, providing variable power across all gears through the standard VHP Plus system. The 12.5-liter displacement engine features six cylinders and meets Tier 4 Final/Stage IV emission standards, incorporating Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology requiring DEF fuel additive. This unit is equipped with a 16-foot moldboard width for expansive coverage and utilizes 20.5-inch R25 tires for optimal traction and mobility across varied terrain. The machine maintains a base operating weight of 57,250 pounds, with a maximum GVW of 41,603.5 pounds, ensuring stability during demanding grading operations. The 14M3 features integrated technology including optional Stable Blade that automatically adjusts engine speed when bounce is detected, and optional AccuGrade guidance system for enhanced precision. The grader's advanced hydraulic system utilizes load-sensing technology with proportional pressure-compensating valves for superior implement control. Standard features include automatic differential lock, Economy Mode for fuel efficiency, and intuitive joystick controls that reduce operator fatigue by 78%. With 17,284 frame hours on this particular unit, it represents substantial operational experience while maintaining the durability and performance capability characteristic of Caterpillar's M-Series graders designed for demanding construction and maintenance applications.
