What is a motor grader and which components should be checked in particular when buying a used machine?
A motor grader, also known as a grader or road grader, is a construction machine with a long blade used to create a flat surface during the grading process. It is commonly used for leveling and smoothing the surface of roads, parking lots and other large, flat areas. Motor graders typically have three axles, with the engine and cabin situated above the rear axles and the grader blade in front.
When buying a used motor grader, it’s crucial to thoroughly inspect various components to ensure that the machine is in good condition. Here are some key components to check:
Engine
- Inspect the engine for any signs of leaks, excessive smoke or unusual noises.
- Check the engine hours to get an idea of its overall usage.
- Look for maintenance records and ensure that regular servicing has been performed.
Transmission & Tandems
- Test the transmission by engaging different gears and checking for smooth operation.
- Look for any signs of fluid leaks around the transmission area.
- Check the tandems for play in main bearings, leaks and wear in chains.
Frame and Structure
- Inspect the frame for signs of damage or excessive wear.
- Check for any signs of welding or repairs that may indicate prior damage.
- Have a close look to the A-Frame and hinges of circle frame.
Blade
- Examine the grader blade for wear, cracks or any signs of damage.
- Check the blade lift system for smooth operation and signs of leaks.
- Check the play in side shift guides.
- Check the base for wear and if bolts and nuts are OK.
Tires & Steering system
- Inspect the tires for wear and ensure they are evenly worn.
- Check for any cuts, bulges or other damage to the tire sidewalls.
- Check the wheel lean function and tie rods.
- Check the central articulation and steering.
Brakes
- Check the braking system for effectiveness and signs of wear.
- Check if service brake is working on all wheels
- Ensure that the parking brake is functioning correctly.
- Check charging time for air brake system and for air leaks.
