  • Power Train

    Power Train

    Matched Caterpillar components deliver smooth, responsive performance and reliability.

    • Cat 3116 Engine

      This modern, turbocharged and aftercooled, six-cylinder engine provides high performance in a fuel-efficient, low emissions package.

    • Performance

      High torque output and high torque rise make the 3116 engine very responsive.

    • Fuel Efficiency

      Unit injectors deliver very high fuel injection pressures to ensure proper mixing of fuel and air.

    • Extended Engine Life

      A strong, rigid cylinder block, large-sized bearings and robust reciprocating parts are designed to withstand the rigors of high-pressure, low-emissions engines.

    • Fuel Filters

      Dual secondary fuel filters provide an extra measure of assurance against engine and fuel system damage caused by fuel contaminants.

    • Engine Power Management

      Engine power management delivers full-rated net power.

    • Electronic Overspeed Protection

      Electronic overspeed protection helps prevent engine and transmission damage from premature downshifting and grade-induced overspeeding.

    • Power Shift Transmission

      Caterpillar designs and builds transmissions specifically for Cat motor graders.

    • Direct Drive

      Direct drive delivers superior fuel efficiency and better "feel" of blade loads, material hardness and ground speed.

    • Gear Selections

      Eight forward speeds and six reverse speeds give the operator a wide operating range.

    • Electronic Transmissions Control

      Electronic transmissions control produces easy, smooth shifts, which enable the operator to maintain uniform surfaces if shifting is required.

    • Inching Capability

      Low pedal effort and excellent modulation provide precise control of machine movements when using the inching pedal.

    • Dual Air System

      The dual air system supplies braking capacity to each side of the machine.

    • Oil Disk Brakes

      Caterpillar designs and builds multi-disc brakes that are completely sealed and adjustment-free.


  • Hydraulics

    Hydraulics

    Balanced hydraulics deliver consistent, precise and responsive control.

    • Power On Demand

      Normally, the variable displacement pump idles at near-zero output.

    • Implement Control Valves

      Implement control valves are designed and built by Caterpillar specifically for motor graders.

    • Low Operator Effort

      Implement controls are designed to reduce operator fatigue.

    • Balanced Flow

      When the operator uses several controls at one time, flow is proportioned to ensure all implements can operate simultaneously. If hydraulic demand exceeds pump capacity, cylinder velocities will be reduced by the same ratio.

    • Independent Oil Supply

      Large independent oil supply prevents cross-contamination and provides proper oil cooling, which means less heat build-up and extended component life.


  • Drawbar, Circle & Moldboard

    Drawbar, Circle & Moldboard

    Every component is designed for maximum productivity and durability. The blade linkage design maximizes moldboard positioning.

    • Blade Positioning

      The blade linkage design enhances moldboard positioning.

    • Blade Angle

      A long wheel base allows the operator to obtain an aggressive moldboard angle.

    • Rugged Construction

      The Y-frame drawbar is constructed of two solid beams.

    • Replaceable Wear Items

      Tough, durable nylon composite wear inserts are located between the drawbar and circle, and between the support shoes and circle.

    • Circle Drive Slip Clutch

      The circle drive slip clutch protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock when the end of the blade encounters hidden objects.


  • Operator's Station

    Operator's Station

    Caterpillar sets the standard for comfort, convenience and visibility.

    • Visibility

      Exceptional visibility helps improve operator confidence and productivity in all grader applications.

    • Quiet Cab

      With the doors closed, interior sound level stays low. The quiet environment keeps the operator alert and focused.

    • Reduced Strain and Fatigue

      Low efforts on all pedals, hydraulic controls and the transmission shifter reduce operator strain and fatigue.

    • Roomy Interior

      Extra leg and foot room create a spacious, open cab.

    • Contour Series Suspension Seat

      The optional contour series suspension seat features fold-up armrests and a retractable seat belt.

    • Comfort

      The optional heater arrangement creates a comfortable work environment for the operator.

    • Electronic Monitoring System

      The electronic monitoring system checks important machine systems and provides the operator with three levels of warning.

    • Features of Comfort

      Comfort and convenience are designed into every feature.


  • Serviceability

    Serviceability

    Conveniently placed service points make routine maintenance quick and easy.

    • Maintenance

      Easy access to service areas speeds up maintenance and ensures that routine service is performed on time.

    • Power Train Components

      Power train components feature a modular design so you can remove the engine, transmission or final drives independently for quick servicing.

    • Diagnostic Capability

      Diagnostic capability offers fast servicing of the transmission.

    • XT Hose

      Caterpillar designs and manufactures its own heavy-duty XT hose and installs it in all high-pressure circuits. It's resistance to abrasion, coupled with its exceptional strength and flexibility, help minimize maintenance and extend life.

    • O-Ring Face Seals

      O-ring face seals create a reliable seal and are used in all hydraulic circuits to minimize the possibility of oil leaks.

    • Radiator Cleanout Access

      Removable covers on each side of the radiator guard provide access to the front of the radiator for cleanout with compressed air or pressure washer.

    • Extended Life Coolant (ELC)

      Extended Life Coolant (ELC) extends coolant life. A single addition of ELC Extender is the only maintenance required.

    • Separate Wiring Harnesses

      Separate wiring harnesses connect all electrical components.


  • Environmentally Responsible Design

    Environmentally Responsible Design

    Caterpillar builds machines that help you create a better world.

    • Quiet Cab

      The cab is sound suppressed. The resiliently mounted engine and transmission result in less engine noise and vibration to the operator.

    • Low Emissions

      Engine performance has been maintained while reducing the amount of particulates and nitrogen oxides released into the air.

    • Dry Machine

      Lubricant fill points and filters are designed to minimize spillage. O-ring face seals, XT hose and Cat hydraulic cylinders protect against leaks.
