Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular CAT 140H.
About the CAT 140H
Would you recommend the CAT 140H to a contractor?+
Yes. The 140 is the motor grader most road contractors have already operated, and 260 hours on one is close to unused.
What should I use the CAT 140H for?+
Cutting and levelling road base, shaping camber, maintaining haul roads and grading site platforms. It is the finishing machine on any road job.
Can I get filters and parts for the CAT 140H locally?+
Caterpillar supports graders globally and the 140 is so widely used that blade edges, circle parts and filters are stocked by independents as well as dealers.
Is the hours on this CAT 140H accurate?+
It reads 260 hours. We will photograph the meter, and on a grader the blade edge and the circle wear should agree with a figure that low.
Is the CAT 140H still in the yard?+
Yes, it is standing in Qingdao. Graders at this hour count are unusual, so it is worth confirming early if you are serious.
Price and payment
What does the CAT 140H sell for?+
USD 32,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. Motor graders normally sit well above this, and 260 hours makes it unusual at any price.
Where can I find a CAT 140H at this sort of price?+
Graders hold their value well, so USD 32,000 for a 140 at 260 hours is not merely cheap, it is unusual. That is what buying used from China does on machines of this class.
Who do I send money to for the CAT 140H?+
The grader is China stock, so Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States issues the invoice and receives the payment.
If I need two CAT 140H units, can you do that?+
Yes. Graders come through our network regularly, so tell us the size and the hour ceiling you want and we will look.
Shipping the CAT 140H
How does a CAT 140H get from your yard to my port?+
A motor grader travels on a flat rack or a bulk vessel. The blade and the scarifier are secured for the voyage before loading.
What does delivery add to the price of the CAT 140H?+
Graders are long, which affects how they are loaded and priced. Give us your destination and we will quote against the actual sailing.
Checking it before you buy
Will you film the CAT 140H for me before I buy?+
Yes. The blade edge, the circle and the tandems are what matter on a grader, and we will photograph all three properly.
How do I verify the condition of the CAT 140H?+
Yes. Visit Qingdao or appoint an inspector, and ask them to run the blade through its full range while they are there.
Can you suggest another machine instead of the CAT 140H?+
If your work is pushing rather than levelling, a dozer is the machine you want and we source those to order. Describe the job and we will advise.
