GALION T500M MOTOR GRADERS

Technical Description

The Galion T500M Motor Grader is a robust, rigid-frame machine engineered for heavy-duty grading applications. It features a 14-foot blade with a beam thickness of 2 inches and a maximum blade height of approximately 24 inches, allowing for precise and efficient earthmoving. The grader is powered by a 6-cylinder diesel engine delivering 259 horsepower and 1,137 lb-ft of torque at 1,850 rpm, with a displacement of 12.5 liters. The engine is paired with a power shift, direct drive transmission offering 8 forward and 6 reverse speeds, enabling smooth operation and high productivity. The hydraulic system is closed-center, electro-hydraulic load sensing, with a variable displacement pump providing about 74 gallons per minute. The grader’s operating weight is approximately 33,294 lb, with a maximum GVW of around 41,604 lb. It has a circle diameter of 71.7 inches, blade side shift of up to 31.1 inches right and 29.1 inches left, and a maximum blade angle of 40 degrees forward and 5 degrees backward. The fuel tank capacity is 130 gallons, supporting extended operation. The machine provides a top forward speed of 31.4 mph and a top reverse speed of 24.8 mph, with a ground clearance at the rear axle of about 13.7 inches. Designed for durability, the T500M operates efficiently in ambient temperatures up to 122°F (50°C), making it suitable for a wide range of demanding environments.
