Used Caterpillar 140K Motor Grader for Sale

This used Caterpillar 140K motor grader is offered by HEAVY MACHINERY PRO under stock ID CAT-140K-1785908 at an equipment-only asking price of US$18,500. The catalogue records 7,800 operating hours, a 14,750 kg operating-weight figure, a CAT C7 ACERT 7.2 L engine, 185 hp and a 3.66 m moldboard. HMP has confirmed the listing as in stock. Verify the actual machine plates, meter and fitted equipment before purchase.

Buyers looking for a used CAT 140K motor grader for sale typically need to compare grading capability, wear, service support and delivered cost. A motor grader contains many working joints between the frame, drawbar, circle and blade. Inspection should address those systems alongside the engine and transmission. Use this stock ID when requesting photographs, access or a quotation so the information remains linked to the same machine.

Used CAT 140K specifications and listing price

These figures are published comparison details, not an independent inspection or a serial-specific manufacturer certificate. Match the applicable Caterpillar document to the complete model and machine arrangement. Do not transfer specifications from a CAT 140H, 140G, 140M or another generation to this 140K. Confirm shipping dimensions, actual weight and included equipment separately.

Road grading, gravel maintenance and site preparation

Buyers may evaluate this used road grader for gravel-road maintenance, shaping road base, spreading material, drainage work and construction-site preparation. Establish the required working width, material, slope, access and finish expectations, then review the actual blade, controls and installed equipment. A catalogue moldboard length does not establish the result the machine will achieve on a particular project.

For road maintenance, consider travel distances, tire suitability, service access and the operator's experience. For finish work, assess controllability and mechanical play through an agreed demonstration. If a scarifier, ripper or grade-control system is needed, confirm whether it is fitted and included. The page does not imply those options are present merely because they are relevant to grader applications.

Circle, drawbar and moldboard inspection

Have a qualified inspector examine the circle drive, gear teeth, guides, drawbar and blade linkage. Ask for available photographs and appropriate measurements of wear and movement. Confirm adjustment and service requirements using the applicable manufacturer procedure. This listing provides no measured clearance or pass/fail tolerance for the circle assembly.

Inspect moldboard condition, cutting edges, end bits, mounting points and visible repairs. Review the fitted blade's lift, rotation, side shift and other functions within an agreed safe test. Excess movement can affect control and may require more than replacing a single wear part. Obtain an assessment and repair estimate for the actual assembly rather than assuming visible play is inexpensive to correct.

For remote evaluation, request views from both sides, close-ups of the circle and cutting edge, and available operating footage. Agree how the inspector will identify the machine and document findings. Fresh paint or a blade moving without load does not establish wear condition or grading performance.

Transmission, tandem housings and steering

The catalogue lists a Powershift transmission. Confirm the installed arrangement and agree safe checks of forward, reverse and gear selection before and after warm-up. Record any engagement delay, warning, unusual noise or visible leak for investigation. A short drive on level ground is not a complete drivetrain assessment.

Include tandem housings, axles, brakes, front-axle joints, steering and frame articulation in the inspection scope. Ask for available service history and discuss fluid sampling or further diagnosis where the inspector recommends it. Have questionable oil condition, visible contamination or a maintenance gap investigated before deciding on the purchase. These are inspection topics, not claims that this machine has a defect.

Confirm the exact drive configuration from the machine and applicable documents. Articulated steering does not itself identify the driven wheels. Review road-travel and registration requirements locally if the grader is intended to move between jobs under its own power.

CAT C7 ACERT engine and hydraulic functions

The listing identifies a CAT C7 ACERT 7.2 L engine and a 185 hp power entry. Request readable engine and machine plates and compare available maintenance or replacement records. The model label does not establish current engine condition, emissions eligibility or remaining service life.

Agree a cold-start and warm-operation inspection covering dashboard warnings, visible exhaust, leaks, cooling behaviour and abnormal noise. Include the relevant hydraulic functions and visible cylinders, hoses and connections. Further tests should follow the qualified inspector's findings and agreed access. Confirm which reports or results actually exist for this stock ID rather than assuming a standard test package has already been completed.

How to check the 7,800-hour reading

The 7,800 hours shown are a catalogue reading. Ask for a current powered-dashboard photograph, startup footage and available service records tied to the serial/PIN. Confirm whether the meter or relevant controller has been replaced and how any electronic value was obtained. Record the reported hours and evidence supplied in the purchase documents.

Review wear on the seat, controls, pedals, joints, tires and blade together with the operating history available. Duty, material and maintenance affect wear, so no single feature proves lifetime hours. A lower-hour reading cannot replace an inspection, while higher reported hours alone do not establish whether a machine is an economical purchase.

Tires, wear parts and repair planning

The tire entry is 14.00 R24. Confirm the actual fitted sizes, tread, sidewall condition and compatibility of the arrangement. Ask a local service provider about replacement availability and costs. Include identified tire, cutting-edge, linkage and drivetrain work in the budget, along with labour, parts delivery and likely downtime.

Before importing a used Caterpillar motor grader, check that a local technician can support the exact configuration. Request parts identification using the serial/PIN rather than ordering solely by the model name. Availability of a familiar brand does not guarantee immediate supply of every component or specialist repair service.

Used motor grader price and total purchase cost

The listed price is equipment-only. Request an itemized FOB, CFR or CIF quotation for your destination port, with insurance scope where applicable, exclusions, validity and payment milestones. Compare offers on the same basis. Use the landed-cost calculator with confirmed figures, including any inspection-identified repair allowance.

Shipping this CAT 140K from China

Request measured shipping dimensions, weight and a loading proposal for the actual machine and attachment package. Route, carrier requirements and port facilities determine the feasible transport method. Clarify any preparation or component removal, securing arrangements and responsibility for reassembly. Do not assume a particular container plan is suitable from the catalogue weight alone.

Check destination import and engine requirements with a qualified customs broker. Keep the machine identity consistent across the agreement, inspection material, invoice, packing list and transport documents. Request available final-condition and loading photographs and compare the equipment with the written offer.

Request a quote for CAT-140K-1785908

Send the stock ID, this product URL, destination country and port, intended roadwork, required attachments and preferred trade term. Ask HMP to confirm location, availability, readable plate and meter photographs, available operating footage and inspection access. Agree the actual scope available before scheduling a visit or appointing an inspector.

The inspection evidence guide can help organize the request. If comparing the CAT 140H listing or other motor grader records, assess each machine's own configuration, condition and delivered cost. Keep inspection findings tied to the relevant stock ID.
