THE RUNDOWN

Redesigned Cab
The redesigned cab provides better visibility to the ground, grouped control buttons for ease of operations, optional seat upgrades, and comfort customizations for the operator. The Cat 160 motor grader has easy to learn joystick (JOY) steering control which helps reduce fatigue from operator arm movement.
Safety
  • Operator presence monitor keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
  • Anti-glare paint eases night operation eye strain.
  • Ground-level refueling requires no climbing on the machine to fill the fuel tank.
  • Ensure three points of contact when entering and existing the machine with strategically placed walkways and grab rails.
  • Work past sundown using the LED light package option for increased nighttime visibility.
  • Speed sensitive steering lessens steering sensitivity as ground speed increases for greater operator confidence and control.
  • The standard secondary steering system's electric hydraulic pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure to ensure operator can steer the machine to a stop.
  • Hydraulic lockout disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering control. This is especially useful while roading.
  • Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators to enable stopping in case of machine failure.
  • Perforated steel tandem walkways and convenient grab rails provide a sturdy platform when moving on, off and around the machine.
  • Standard circle drive slip clutch protects the standard drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions. The optional blade lift accumulators help absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.
    • Technology
    Using the data from technology-equipped machines, get more information and insight into equipment and operations.
    • Cat Grade Attachment Ready Option (ARO) is the building block for all Cat motor grader technologies.
    • Cat VisionLink provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.*Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
    • Cat Inspect is a mobile application that allows you to easily perform digital Preventative Maintenance (PM) checks, inspections, and daily walkarounds. Inspections can easily be integrated with other Cat data systems like VisionLink so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.
    • Remote troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.
    • Cat Grade 3D for motor graders, also called "mastless," is a machine integrated grade control system that helps you get to grade faster with more accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Automatic blade control reduces operator inputs and the number of passes to get the job done to save you time and money. E-fence is fully calibrated from the factory.
    • Cross Slope Assist now includes Position Sensing Shift Cylinder (PSC), E-fence blade avoidance, and two sensors to simplify mastless upgrades. It allows the operator to manually control one end of the moldboard while the system controls the other.
    A new specification is now available on Next Generation Cat® Motor Graders, showing the actual power to the ground performance. Cat updated the power strategy (called Power to the Ground) so the machine now delivers consistent power in every condition – hot or cold weather, heavy or light load. This means the grader feels more stable, more predictable, and easier to control, especially when fine‑grading.
    You still get the same real‑world productivity, with smoother operation and better fuel efficiency.

    More Consistent Power to the Ground
    With true constant net power, the machine delivers consistent power regardless of temperature or load, providing more predictable grading performance and better machine feel and control—especially for fine grading.

    Improved Grading Quality with Integrated Control Technologies
    A more stable power curve allows Cat Grade with Cross Slope, Stable Blade, and 3D Grade to operate more accurately, improving automated blade control response with consistent, predictable power.

    No Loss in Real-World Productivity
    Next Generation Cat motor graders deliver the same legendary performance for road building, site prep, ditching, and snow removal—now with the latest design evolution.

    Better Fuel Efficiency
    Power to the Ground supports smoother operation and reduced fuel burn by avoiding unnecessary power spikes, allowing the machine to run in optimized power more often.
