Caterpillar is the world's largest heavy equipment manufacturer for a reason. Started in 1883 as the Holt company, they became known in World War I for the distinctive tracks on their heavy tractors, nicknamed “Caterpillars.” The name stuck, as did the company's reputation for quality and reliability under extreme conditions.
A century later, Caterpillar is much more than just tractors. The company is known for a wide variety of heavy-duty equipment, from excavators to diesel engines and compressors. The Caterpillar 120M Motor Grader exemplifies Caterpillar's ethic of manufacturing heavy equipment for the heaviest jobs.
The Caterpillar 120 motor grader was introduced in 1964. Over the years, the machine underwent a series of modifications to its engine, frame and body, with the company tweaking the machine's design and capabilities 'til production finally ended in 1996. Shortly after, Caterpillar refreshed a number of its motor grader designs with the M series, of which this machine is one. The M Series features many improvements, such as an ergonomic, comfortable cab design that provides better visibility and ease of use, adding to safety and productivity. This is further enhanced by operator presence detection and joystick control. Innovations like top-adjust wear strips and a shimless moldboard retention system dramatically reduce adjustment time and service downtime, lowering overall machine operating costs.
This 120M features an air conditioned EROPS, 3x3 roading lights, an AM/FM radio, Hydraulic Base + 2 (front lift & mid mount scarifier), a 14' moldboard with Hyd Tilt and side shift. Its 14.00R24 Michelin XGL tires are 80%, and it comes factory wired for GPS. Dimensions are 27.9x8.1x10.8 (LxWxH) with a 19.4' wheelbase and 8.2' blade base. The unit is powered by a Caterpillar Model C6.6 ACERT VHP [variable horsepower] with a maximum output of 138hp.
Caterpillars have a unique place in history, having assisted in the construction of canals, dams, bridges and highways, some of which are the best-known and loved in the world. Whether you're building the next great wonder of the world, or your concerns are more earthbound, you will appreciate a tradition of quality that, for generations, has gone nearly everywhere, and done just about everything.
