Equipment Overview
The Cat 120 is a motor grader built for road construction, maintenance and general civil grading, and is also available as the Cat 120 AWD for extra traction on soft or slippery ground. It’s the smallest model in Caterpillar’s current grader range, running a 3.7 m (12 ft) moldboard as standard and weighing around 15,800 kg typically equipped, suited to council road work, rural access tracks and general construction sites.
Power comes from a Cat C7.1 engine, producing 97 kW (130 hp) standard or 101 kW (136 hp) with AWD engaged, and meeting Tier 3/Stage IIIA equivalent emissions. A power shift transmission and load-sensing hydraulics keep the blade responsive under load, while Cat GRADE technology and a digital blade slope meter help operators reach target grade in fewer passes.
