Motor graders are used to finish or refine the grading process. Whereas the rough grading process can be effectively performed by other construction vehicles or heavy equipment, such as bulldozers and scrapers, motor graders are generally used for the maintenance and construction of gravel and dirt roads in the construction industry.
Motor graders typically have three axles - the driver’s cab and the engine is located above the rear axles and a third axle is located in the front side of the vehicle. Additionally, the blade which is used for surface flatting process is located between the front and rear axles.
The motor grader is placed with a second blade which is located at the front axle in certain countries of Europe, such as Finland, Sweden, etc., Motor graders in the global market are available with capacities ranging from engines 60 – 373 KW (80–500 HP) and blades ranging from 2.5 – 7.3 meters.
An additional advantage of motor graders is that they can be operated with multiple attachments for various applications in the construction and mining industry apart from being used for separate tasks, such as flattening of surface or underground mining.
Motor graders are extensively used for the creation of wide flat surfaces on which asphalt can be placed during the construction of paved roads. They are also employed for the creation of soil foundations before the construction of a building and structure can take place. Wide adoption for construction and mining applications predominantly drives demand in the motor grader market.
