Advantages of buying used motor graders

Purchasing a used motor grader is a cost-effective way to access precise, high-performance grading equipment for construction, mining, and infrastructure projects.

Lower investment cost

On Exapro, used motor graders typically range from €30,000 to €250,000, offering substantial savings compared to the cost of new machines.

Proven reliability

Many graders available on the second-hand market come with documented service histories, demonstrating durability and long-term operational reliability.

Faster return on investment

Reduced upfront expenditure allows projects to reach profitability sooner, especially in road construction and earthmoving operations.

Access to premium brands

Buying used provides access to industry-leading manufacturers such as Caterpillar, Komatsu, John Deere, Volvo, and CASE at competitive prices.

Precision and efficiency

Advanced control systems, including GPS and laser guidance, enable accurate grading, reduced rework, and improved productivity.

Main technical features of used motor graders

Motor graders are defined by several key technical characteristics that influence grading accuracy, efficiency, and versatility.

Engine power

Motor grader engines typically range from 100 to 300 horsepower, providing sufficient power for heavy-duty grading, trenching, and surface maintenance tasks.

Blade width and length

Blades generally measure between 10 and 14 feet, determining the working width and efficiency when leveling large surfaces.

Articulation angle

Articulated frames enhance maneuverability and flexibility, making them well suited for confined, uneven, or complex job sites.

Operating weight

Operating weights typically range from 12 to 30 tons, influencing traction, stability, and blade control during operation.

Control systems

Modern graders may be equipped with GPS and laser grading technology, allowing automated blade adjustments for high-precision road building and mining applications.

Cabin comfort and controls

Ergonomic cabins with wide visibility, adjustable seating, climate control, and intuitive joystick controls help reduce operator fatigue and improve productivity.

Hydraulic systems

High-performance hydraulic systems ensure smooth, precise blade movements and consistent grading quality across varying terrain.
