Motor Grader Unique Grading Features

Motor grader or Road grader is a self-propelled construction machine with adjustable blades. The machine is identified as one of the easy-to-use equipment with distinctive features. Motor Graders are comprehensively classified into two categories, depending on their arrangements and features; Rigid Frame Motor Grader and Articulated Motor Grader. Of the two, the latter is most commonly used by contructions companies these days.

Typically, a motor grade is equipped with three-axles. However, a rigid motor grader has one axle, mounted beneath the frame that allows multiple precision. Usually, the blade width ranges from 8 to 24 ft, depending on the projects’s requirements. 

Motor Graders are scarifying machines that are used to give a “finish grade” to any surface. The smoothness is achieved by tilting the axle to adjust the level and attain the precision required. Most commonly, Motor Graders are used for road construction, maintenance of dirt roads, and building gravel roads.
