CATERPILLAR 140GC AWD MOTOR GRADERS

The 2024 Caterpillar 140GC AWD Motor Grader is a powerful, versatile machine designed for precision grading and optimal traction. It features a Cat C7.1 engine delivering up to 196 hp (147 kW) with a displacement of 7.01 liters and a 6-cylinder configuration, providing a maximum torque of 835 N·m (616 lb-ft) at 2,200 rpm. The powertrain includes a countershaft torque converter powershift transmission with six forward and three reverse gears, enabling top speeds of 41.7 km/h forward and 24.0 km/h reverse. The AWD version enhances traction with a higher hydraulic steering capacity of 231 cc/rev and provides ground clearance of 616 mm. The moldboard has a width of 14 feet (approximately 4.27 m), allowing efficient material spreading and precision grading, controlled manually with a hydraulic link bar system. The grader rides on durable 17.5 R25 tires mounted on 14.0-inch diameter by 25.0-inch wide rims, optimizing stability on varied terrains. The front axle supports a lean angle of 18° and an oscillation of 32° total, while articulation range is 20° left and right, improving maneuverability and steering responsiveness up to 47.5°. The machine weight is around 18,390 kg (40,544 lbs) for the AWD variant, ensuring robust performance on demanding job sites. Equipped with advanced features like eco mode, on-demand fan, and heavy-duty starters, this grader offers reliable operation up to ambient temperatures of 50°C (122°F). Overall, the 140GC AWD combines strength, control, and smart hydraulic steering for effective earthmoving and road construction applications.
