CATERPILLAR 140 AWD MOTOR GRADERS

The 2020 Caterpillar 140 AWD Motor Grader is a high-performance machine designed for demanding road grading, snow removal, and earthmoving applications. It features a robust enclosed ROPS cab for operator safety and comfort. The grader is powered by a choice of Caterpillar engines, including the C7 or C9.3, delivering net power from approximately 176 hp to 238 hp, with engine displacement ranging from 7.01 L to 9.3 L depending on the model. The hydraulic system is closed-center with a variable piston pump, providing an output pressure of about 3500 psi at 2200 rpm for responsive blade control. The front blade measures 14 ft in width, with a maximum tip forward angle of 40° and a backward angle of 5°, allowing for precise grading. The circle rotates 360°, and the blade can be lifted up to 19 in above ground, with a maximum depth of cut around 28.9 in. Steering is accomplished via front steering with a maximum angle of 47.5° and frame articulation of ±20°, while axle oscillation provides up to 18° lean and 32° total oscillation for stability on uneven terrain. The transmission offers 6 forward/3 reverse or 8 forward/6 reverse gears, with top speeds ranging from 25 to 31 mph. Operating weight varies from 33,000 lb to 57,250 lb depending on configuration, and the machine is equipped with large tires such as 14.00R24 for enhanced traction and durability.
