CAT 160-15B MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The 2025 CAT 160-15B Motor Grader is a high-performance machine engineered for precision grading and heavy-duty construction tasks. It features a 16 ft (192 in) moldboard width and advanced electro-hydraulic joystick controls, with two joysticks that reduce operator hand and wrist movement by up to 78%. The grader is powered by a robust 6-cylinder Cat C9.3 engine, delivering approximately 224 hp (165 kW) and up to 1,079 lb-ft (1,464 N·m) of torque, with variable horsepower options available. The engine operates at a maximum speed of 2,000 rpm and is compliant with U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emissions standards. The transmission offers 8 forward and 6 reverse gears with powershift capability and direct drive, ensuring smooth operation and productivity. The heavy-duty articulated frame, reinforced front and rear frames, and a durable hitch provide exceptional strength and reliability. The hydraulic system is closed-center with a variable piston pump, enabling precise and responsive control. The advanced joystick system allows intuitive operation of steering, articulation, gear selection, drawbar, circle, moldboard functions, and electronic throttle control. The grader supports a range of attachments and features such as a reversing fan, engine idle shutdown timer, and ground-level fluid checks. With a base GVW of approximately 33,294 lb and a maximum GVW up to 41,603 lb, the machine is designed for demanding applications. The cab offers enhanced visibility and operator comfort, while the modular rear axle simplifies maintenance.
