Used graders

Grader The grader is a construction machine used on construction sites to level the ground, that is to say to level the ground and to flatten it evenly. It is also used to maintain tracks and create ditches during road works, or for snow removal. The English term "grader" is sometimes used to designate it. The main element of a grader is the central blade, very wide (generally between 3 and 5 meters), to which may be added a front blade called "bull blade" (in reference to the dozer) and scarifiers (rippers ) used to loosen soil, front or rear. A side blade called a “slope-board” can be added to carry out slope work. Newer models have GPS leveling assistance. Typically six tires, graders are very long machines - often up to 11 or 12 meters. Sometimes a grader works in conjunction with a compactor. The first self-propelled graders were developed by Caterpillar around 1930; they replaced the traditional system of the beam pulled by animals.
