CATERPILLAR 14 MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The 2024 Caterpillar 14 Motor Grader is equipped with a 16-foot moldboard designed for versatile grading applications, providing an extensive cutting width for efficient material handling and surface finishing. The moldboard is fabricated from durable, wear-resistant steel, ensuring longevity and performance in heavy-duty conditions. This unit uses 20.5-inch diameter tires, noted for their robust construction and durability, with approximately 90% tread remaining, offering excellent traction and stability on varied terrains. The grader integrates a Cat C13 engine delivering 238 horsepower at 1,850 rpm with a six-cylinder, 12.5-liter displacement, optimized for power and fuel efficiency, meeting Tier 4 Final/Stage V emissions standards. Its operating weight is approximately 57,250 pounds, balancing strength and maneuverability. The moldboard’s height and thickness contribute to its cutting precision, supporting a maximum depth of cut around 23 inches. The grader features advanced hydraulic systems for precise moldboard positioning with extensive sideshift, tip, and lift capacities for detailed surface grading. Its frame and axle design provide up to 17.1° wheel lean and 32° total oscillation, improving operator control and ride comfort. Additional features often include LED working lights, rearview cameras, and machine security systems for enhanced safety and operational efficiency. Overall, the 2024 Caterpillar 14 Motor Grader combines heavy-duty build quality with smart technology and efficient performance, making it ideal for road construction, site preparation, and maintenance tasks in demanding environments.
