Machines of the Construction Equipment Industry


Motor Grader
Cost: $34,000 - $508,000
Weight: 9,000 lb. - 58, 250 lb.
Maximum Blade (Moldboard) Length: 16 ft.

Invaluable for roadbed and site preparation, motor graders finish the work started by bulldozers, using fine tuning of their blades - and, more recently, laser guidance - to level surfaces. Intertwining hydraulic and mechanical power, motor graders require mechanics who can work on drivetrains, engines and hydraulic systems.
