Cat updates Lever Motor Grader
The 140 LVR Motor Grader features an updated cab with better visibility and a standard rear-view camera
Caterpillar's 140 LVR Motor Grader is being upgraded to the next-generation platform. The new model will launch in early 2026.
Features on the Cat 140 Lever Motor Grader
Safety and efficiency rely on good visibility, and the Cat 140 Motor Grader features the successful cab design from the 120 next-generation models. Larger windows provide better visibility from the cab, ensuring improved all-around views, including the moldboard and tires, while an as-standard rearview camera enhances direct lines of sight.
The camera feed is integrated into the 10-inch touchscreen, which also provides operator access to other next generation functions such as Cat Grade. A new seat takes advantage of the next-gen cab's foot space and hip room, offering a variety of adjustments to improve operator comfort and help reduce fatigue. The cab features revised seatbelt and safety harness options.
The new Cat 140 builds on its proven design and reliability, offering low operating costs and favourable fuel efficiency. The 140 features banked and centralized access checkpoints that can help make daily maintenance a breeze rather than a bind.
The new Cat 140 also offers expanded technology capabilities, from simple features to improve operator comfort, like the stable blade, to fully calibrated 3D systems to help reduce the total cost of ownership.
"Versatility in operation has always been Caterpillar's strength, and the 140 Motor Grader has been a classic demonstration of that virtue," shared Pablo dos Santos, global product application specialist, Caterpillar.
"Over the years, customers have shown that the 140's usefulness and flexibility have few limits. Its frame lends itself to easy transportation, and its power and performance have seen it put to work in everything from snow clearance to grading operations, in addition to its everyday use in roadbuilding and ditching."
What's more, the new 140 provides a sweet spot power-to-weight ratio with ample fuel consumption rates, notes dos Santos. "There is a lot of good information collected so far from the multiple machines being tested around the world, with more than 40,000 hours accumulated so far."
