What Are Motor Graders?

Motor graders are heavy-duty equipment designed to grade and level the ground to create flat surfaces. They’re most commonly used in the grading phase of road building and construction projects, where surfaces and levels must meet exact specifications. Graders are designed for precise control over the grading process, with new models including intelligent technology to ensure higher accuracy.

Motor graders can also reshape terrain to meet the needs of a project or move dirt and debris to a different location on your jobsite.

Heavy-duty graders have several important features that make them a great addition to any construction fleet:

• Blade: A long, adjustable blade can be raised, lowered or set to different angles and depths to grade materials, create smooth surfaces and shape the land.
• Articulated frame: Many models feature two axles between the front wheels and the cab for improved maneuverability and control.
• Powerful engine: Increased horsepower provides the power you need to perform the most challenging tasks.
• Rugged tires: Traverse rough terrain with tires designed for stability and traction.

Uses of a Premium Grader

The original purpose of a motor grader is road construction. When it comes to flattening terrain to prepare it for laying asphalt or concrete, a rugged grader is the best choice.

While road construction is still this machine’s primary use, motor graders are versatile machines capable of so much more, including:

• Leveling land for residential or commercial developments
• Evening out the foundation of a construction site before breaking ground
• Leveling unpaved parking lots before applying asphalt
• Creating or widening ditches for drainage
• Clearing snow after winter storms
• Maintaining access roads in mining areas, farms and other unpaved sites
• Leveling fields to prepare for planting season
