A well-specced and honestly-presented 2013 Caterpillar 140M2 motor grader — one of the most popular and versatile graders in the Australian civil and council market. Powered by the proven Cat C9.3 ACERT engine with VHP Plus (Variable Horsepower Plus), which automatically increases available power through the gears for superior performance in every application. Fitted with a 14ft moldboard, genuine CAT MS multi-shank ripper, front push block, and 17.5 tyres. While the meter reads 8,000 hours, 1,700 of those are idle hours, meaning only around 6,300 genuine working hours — an honest distinction that experienced buyers value. Sold fully serviced with a comprehensive workshop report and a 3-month Makin Traks powertrain warranty for peace of mind. Prepared through our brand-new purpose-built facility on the Sunshine Coast QLD. Ready to earn from day one.
Why VHP Plus matters: Variable Horsepower Plus automatically increases the engine’s available power in the higher gears and when the machine needs it most. That means more pushing and grading power when you’re working hard, without sacrificing fuel efficiency in lighter work. It’s the feature that makes the 140M2 such a productive all-rounder.
