The new M-Series Motor Graders represent a revolution in operational efficiency, visibility, service ease and overall productivity – while continuing the legacy of high quality you’ve come to expect from Caterpillar.
Motor graders are considered to be one of the most complicated machines to operate effectively. Typically these machines utilize as many as 15 levers and a steering wheel, all of which must be operated in conjunction to turn and navigate the ma-chine while controlling the blade direction and pitch. Caterpillar’s M-Series machines make grader operation a lot simpler, reducing all of the functions into two electrohydraulic joystick controls – something that’s never been done in motor graders before. This revolutionary motor grader sets the new standard for design innovation, leveraging superior technology across the entire machine.
Monumental Change Inside and Out Regardless of experience level, efficiency and productivity are dramatically increased with the joystick controls. The three-axis joystick controls replace the steering wheel and multiple levers, which reduces operator arm and hand movements by as much as 78%.
Through the intuitive design of the joysticks, training is now easier and faster and operators are able to sustain a higher level of efficiency. A new tapered floor design and angled doors also contribute to unmatched visibility by opening lines of sight to all critical areas.
While the most significant redesign of the M-Series is the joystick controls, CAT also enhanced the maintenance and adjustment of the drawbar, circle and moldboard with more accessible wear inserts and slide rail wear strips. These changes account for a 77% reduction in maintenance. Inside and out, the M-Series is a monumental change in motor grader design and operation.
Developed through extensive customer input and field testing, M-Series Motor Graders deliver absolute value in all the areas of your business that matter the most – efficiency, productivity, quality and safety. With the M-Series you’ll get the most out of industry exclusive innovations.
