Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader

Mining operations using trucks with capacities to 190 tons (172 tonnes) can choose the Caterpillar 16M3 Motor Grader, or now, if more capability is required, the Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader. The new Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader features an average of 5 percent greater power in each gear as compared to the 16M3, and the new motor grader is equipped with an 18-foot (5.5m) moldboard as compared to the 16-foot (4.9m) moldboard of the 16M3. More power and greater coverage per pass increase productivity.

The added blade length also can be used to grade with a more aggressive blade angle of about eight degrees. The increased blade angle reduces blade loading and combines with the additional power and weight and refined balance of the Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader for highly productive cutting passes.

The Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader is equipped for mining operations. Front axle and transmission guards protect key machine components against heavy debris and rocks, and all required provisions and brackets are in place to install most major fire-suppression systems without compromising machine components and structures. The fire-suppression-ready system complies with the guidelines of major system providers.

The Caterpillar 18M3 Motor Grader is powered by a Caterpillar C13 ACERT Engine, which uses the Caterpillar Optimized Variable Horsepower (VHP) system, designed to deliver optimum power in each gear for the operating situation. The engine is available in three configurations to satisfy global emissions standards: U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV/Japan 2014 (Tier 4 Final); Tier 3/Stage IIIA /Japan 2006 (Tier 3) equivalent; and Tier 2/Stage II/Japan 2001 (Tier 2) equivalent.
