Condition

NLEQ inspects and tests every piece of equipment before it is offered for sale, and this 2022 Caterpillar 140 is no exception. The hours reflect real-world jobsite usage, and the machine has been evaluated to help ensure that core systems function as intended for productive grading.

Advantages

• Proven Caterpillar platform: The 140 designation carries decades of field credibility. It is well-regarded by operators for controllability at the blade and by owners for asset longevity and resale value.
• Diesel power: Diesel engines deliver the torque needed to pull the moldboard through tough material, maintain travel speed under load, and handle steady grades. Fuel availability and efficiency are practical advantages for fleets operating across multiple jobs.
• Heated & air conditioned cab: Climate control supports year-round productivity. Heating keeps operators effective in cold months for snow removal or winter maintenance, while air conditioning combats heat and dust during summer grading. Comfortable operators are more precise, safer, and able to sustain consistent output.
• Late-model reliability: As a 2022 machine, this 140 benefits from recent production standards and component design refinements typical of modern graders. That can translate to better operator experience, serviceability, and parts support across the ownership cycle.
• Balanced performance: The Cat 140 is engineered for fine grading accuracy with enough weight and traction to cut, mix, and windrow material efficiently. That balance helps reduce rework and keeps projects moving on schedule.
• Visibility and control: The 140 series is known for operator-friendly control layouts and good sightlines to the blade. Those attributes matter when tolerances are tight, slopes must be maintained, and edge lines must be kept clean.
• Strong ownership economics: The asking price of $189,750 positions this grader as a cost-effective alternative to new purchase, helping owners preserve capital while acquiring reliable production capacity.

Applications

This Caterpillar 140 Motor Grader is a versatile tool carrier for a wide range of projects where surface quality and precise elevation control are critical. Typical applications include:

• Road building and maintenance: Cut crown and slopes, pull ditches, lay base course, and maintain gravel or dirt roads. The 140 provides the stability and finesse needed for consistent cross-slope and smooth finishes.
• Site preparation: Trim subgrade for commercial, industrial, and residential developments. Accurate grading reduces aggregate usage and speeds paving operations.
• Paving support: Prepare and maintain base ahead of asphalt or concrete placement. Clean, consistent subgrade helps achieve long-lasting paved surfaces.
• Haul road management: In mining, quarry, and energy operations, keep haul roads smooth and safe to minimize tire wear, fuel burn, and cycle times.
• Shoulder work and drainage: Shape shoulders, build or clean ditches, and promote proper drainage to extend road life and reduce maintenance.
• Industrial yards and pads: Maintain level working surfaces for logistics hubs, equipment yards, and laydown areas, improving efficiency and safety.
• Snow removal and winter maintenance: With the heated cab and diesel power, the grader can be deployed for snow clearing and ice control to keep routes open in cold weather.

Ownership Value

Investing in a used Caterpillar 140 can offer an attractive total cost of ownership. Caterpillar’s broad dealer network and extensive parts availability help reduce downtime, while the machine’s durable build and market reputation support residual value at resale. Operator satisfaction is another component of overall value: a heated and air conditioned cab reduces fatigue, which can lower the risks of mistakes and rework and help retain skilled operators across long, demanding shifts. As a late-model grader, this 2022 unit benefits from contemporary design and serviceability considerations that streamline routine maintenance and inspections, helping crews get to work quickly each day. For fleets that already run Caterpillar equipment, parts commonality and mechanic familiarity can further control operating costs. For startups and expanding firms, the 140’s broad acceptance in the labor pool can shorten ramp-up time—most experienced grader operators will be comfortable stepping into a Cat 140 with minimal orientation, keeping training costs in check.
