MOTOR GRADER

Motor Graders, which are one of important equipment and used in maintenance and construction of roads are also referred as road grader, a blade, a maintainer or a grader. It is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. A variety of attachments turn the motor grader into a more versatile machine, enabling the machine to do things such as dig shallow holes. Typical models have three axles, with the engine and cab situated above the rear axles at one end of the vehicle and a third axle at the front end of the vehicle, with the blade in between.
