Provides on-the-go, full-power shifting and inching capability. Direct drive delivers superior fuel efficiency and better “feel” of blade loads, material hardness and ground speed.
This feature automatically shifts the transmission at optimal points (in gears 3-8) so the operator can focus on the work, improving safety, productivity and ease of operation.
Oil-bathed, air actuated and spring-released, located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train and to reduce servicing time. The large brake surface area provides dependable braking capability and extended life before rebuild.
Caterpillar® sealed spindle keeps the bearings free from contaminants and lubricated in a lightweight oil to reduce owning and operating costs. Two tapered roller bearings support the wheel spindle. The larger tapered roller bearing is outboard where the load is greater, extending bearing life.
The Cat C7 engine uses ACERT™ Technology to provide electronic control, precision fuel delivery and refined air management, resulting in outstanding performance and lower emissions. Variable Horse Power (VHP) is standard: base power in gears 1 and 2, 7.5 kW (10 hp) increase in gear 3, and an additional 7.5 kW (10 hp) increase in gears 4 through 8. Customized torque curves increase peak torque for improved lugging performance and responsiveness. The Electronic Throttle Control (ETC) provides easier, more precise and consistent throttle operation.
Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously. Independent oil supply prevents cross-contamination and provides proper oil cooling, which means less heat build-up and extended component life.
Provide outstanding operator "feel" and predictable system response for unmatched implement control. To help maintain exact blade settings, lock valves are built into all control valves. Line relief valves are also incorporated into selected control valves to protect the cylinders from over-pressurization.
A load sensing variable displacement pump and the advanced Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPPC, or "triple-P C") hydraulic valves provide superior implement control and better machine performance. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder. Continuously matching hydraulic flow and pressure to power demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption.
The hydraulic system uses valves that provide PPPC control for precise implement and machine operation. These valves contain spools that are specifically cut for each hydraulic function on the motor grader. They compensate for differences in flow requirements, based on cylinder size and the difference in surface volume between the rod end (blue) and barrel end (red) of the cylinder. The result is predictable, consistent hydraulic speeds whether extending or retracting the cylinder.
Front frame is a continuous top and bottom plate construction. Flanged box section design removes welds from high stress areas, improving reliability and durability. The rear frame structure has two box section channels with fully welded differential case for a solid working platform. An integrated bumper ties the rear frame together into a cohesive unit, to handle high stress loads.
The Y-frame drawbar is constructed of two solid beams for strength, durability, and precise blading control. This design allows the addition of a mid-mount scarifier without compromising blade positioning in extreme reach positions. One-piece forged circle stands up to high stress loads. Raised wear surfaces prevent circle teeth wear against the drawbar. The 64 uniformly spaced circle teeth are flame cut and heat induction hardened to resist wear, and the circle is secured to the drawbar by six support shoes for maximum support. The moldboard provides optimal curvature and large throat clearance that helps move all soil types quickly and efficiently. These features deliver excellent load distribution and minimal material buildup in the circle area while allowing large blade loads to roll freely.
This optional feature uses accumulators to help absorb impact loads to the moldboard by allowing vertical blade travel. Blade lift accumulators reduce unnecessary wear and help to avoid unintended machine movement for increased operator safety.
Standard moldboard length is 3.7 m (12 ft), with an optional 4.3 m (14 ft) moldboard available from the factory. Left and right side moldboard extensions (available through the Cat parts system) will increase moldboard surface area and extend reach capability.
A wide variety of Cat GET is available from Cat® parts system, including cutting edges, and end bits, all designed for maximum service life and productivity.
The 140K optional ripper/scarifier is made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier material movement with the moldboard. The ripper includes three shanks with the ability to add two more if needed. Nine scarifier shanks can also be added for additional versatility.
A front mounted push plate/ counterweight or front blade can be ordered.
Positioned between the front axle and the circle to break up tough material that the blade can then move, all in a single pass. The V-type scarifier can accommodate up to 11 teeth.
Includes snow wings, angle blades, and V-plows. Multiple mounting options are available, increasing machine versatility.
The 140K features: Electronic Clutch Pressure Control (ECPC) optimizes inching modulation and smoothes shifting Low efforts on all pedals, hydraulic controls and the transmission shifter Rocker switches and transmission shifter are backlit for night time operation The operator can adjust implement controls and steering wheel angle independently Clear view to the moldboard heel and tandem tires Fresh air filters above each cab door for quick replacement
The instrument panel, with easy-to read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps, keeps the operator aware of critical system information. The dash cluster panel provides enhanced machine information and diagnostic capability. It includes an engine coolant temperature gauge, an articulation gauge, voltage gauge, and fuel level gauge. Service brake air pressure gauges are also standard. Speedometer and tachometer are optional. All major systems are monitored by warning lights.
Additional cab features include storage area, an adjustable control console, and a coat hook. The following optional features are also available: power port, air conditioner/heater, suspension seat, defroster fan, sun shade, backup lights, Product Link, and AccuGrade™ system ready. NOTE: Some attachments are not available in all regions
The Cat AccuGrade System automatically controls the blade, improving operator efficiency and productivity. AccuGrade technology reduces the need for traditional survey stakes or grade checkers, so you can reach grade faster and in fewer passes than ever before. The Cat AccuGrade System includes Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS or ATS electronic kits that are available in the AccuGrade price list. The factory installed AccuGrade Attachment Ready Option provides additional mounting brackets, cab controls and electrical harnesses for easy installation of the AccuGrade Systems.
Streamlines diagnostic efforts, and reduces downtime, maintenance scheduling and costs by providing a communication flow of vital machine data and location. Product Link gives automatic updates on machine parameters such as machine hours, machine condition, location, fault codes and alarms directly to your office computer.
Cat ET is a two-way communication tool that gives service technicians easy access to stored diagnostic data, reducing machine downtime and lowering operating costs.
The operator sound pressure level for the cab offered by Caterpillar, when properly installed, maintained and tested with the doors closed, meets or exceeds requirements set forth in ISO 6394:1998. The quiet environment improves operator working conditions. Steel non-skid steps use raised perforations to provide sturdy access to the tandems.
Brakes located at each tandem wheel offer the largest total brake surface area in the industry, delivering dependable stopping power and longer brake life. Standard circle drive slip clutch protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads when the blade encounters an immovable object. Blade lift accumulators help absorb impact loads to the moldboard by allowing vertical blade travel.
Disconnect switch provides ground-level lockout of the electrical system to prevent inadvertent machine starts. Engine shutoff allows anyone nearby to shut the machine down in case of an emergency.
Laminated glass on the front windows and lockable doors to reduce theft and vandalism are available with the optional cab. Brake lights, conveniently located grab rails, back up lights and alarm also help ensure a safe work environment.
