Motor Graders in Canada

Motor graders shape roads, maintain gravel surfaces, finish subgrade and manage snow with a long wheelbase and adjustable moldboard. Municipal, roadbuilding, mining and resource-road fleets often prioritize different driveline and control packages.

Choosing motor graders for the job

Moldboard condition, circle wear, articulation, tandem drive and grade-control equipment deserve close attention. All-wheel drive, front attachments and ripper/scarifier packages can materially change suitability.
