140 / 140 AWD - Tier 4 / Stage V

BETTER COMFORT AND CONTROL

• Visibility is key to your safety, efficiency and quality of work. The motor grader delivers with angled cab doors, tapered engine enclosure and a sloped rear window make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the machine. Optional rear camera further enhances lines of sight.
• The most comfortable cab in the industry.
• Joystick controls reduce hand and arm movement by 78%, which helps to lower operator fatigue.
• Easy-reach rocker and control switches
• Standard Cat Comfort Series suspension seat.
• Control pods adjust electronically - easy to set ideal operating position.
• Isolation mounts reduce sound and vibration for more relaxed environment.
• High capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air, seals out dust and keeps windows clear.
• Optional deluxe radio with CD features MP3 and Bluetooth technology.
• In-dash instrument cluster houses easily read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps keep you aware of critical system information.
• Two electro-hydraulic joysticks make operation easy and comfortable. Adjustable control pods ensure they are positioned for optimal comfort, visibility and operation.
• Joystick Functions -

1. Left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder and float.
2. Right joystick controls drawbar, circle and moldboard functions as well as electronic throttle control and manual differential lock/unlock. Joystick lean angle mirrors the steer tires' turning angle.

• Brake tensioning system holds the joystick in position until the operator moves it.
• Steering control automatically reduces steering sensitivity at higher ground speeds for predictable control.
• Infinitely variable roller switches control the rear ripper and/or front lift group (when equipped).
• Proven load-sensing and advanced electro-hydraulics give you superior implement control and responsive hydraulic performance that makes operators' jobs easier.
• Continuously matching hydraulic flow/pressure to power demands reduces heat and optimizes power.
• Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPP-C) valves have different flow rates for the head and rod ends of the cylinder, so you can count on consistent, predictable implement response.
• Hydraulic flow is proportioned to give you confidence that all implements operate simultaneously without slowing engine or implement speed.
• Blade Float allows the blade to move freely under its own weight.
• Float both cylinders, to allow blade can follow the contours of the ground.
• Float one cylinder to permit the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls slope with the other cylinder.
• Large, independent hydraulic oil supplies prevent cross-contamination and provide proper cooling, reducing heat build-up and extending component life.
• Cat XT™ hose allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime.
• Articulation Return-to-Center automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position from any angle with the touch of a button.
• Choose the blade lift modulation mode that best fits your application or operating style: fine, normal, or coarse.

HEAVY DUTY CONSTRUCTION

• One-piece forged steel circle stands up to high stress loads, and a sacrificial wear system helps keep your service time and costs down.
• Articulation hitch features a large tapered roller bearing to carry loads evenly. The bearing is sealed preventing contamination and a locking pin prevents articulation during service or transport.
• Drawbar, circle and moldboard are designed to make it easy for you to keep the components tight.
• Shims and patented top-adjust wear strips are easy to add or replace, dramatically reducing downtime.
• Nylon composite wear inserts maximize circle torque and component life.
• Sacrificial brass wear strips between the blade mounting group and moldboard can be easily adjusted and replaced.
• Shim less Moldboard Retention System uses vertical and horizontal adjusting screws to keep moldboard wear strips aligned for reduced blade chatter and precise control.
• With an aggressive blade angle, optimized moldboard curvature and large throat clearance, you work more efficiently by allowing material to roll more freely along the blade.
• Heat-treated rails, hardened cutting edges and end bits, and heavy duty bolts provide greater moldboard reliability and long service life.
• Link bar allows extreme moldboard positioning for easier bank sloping and ditch cutting/cleaning.

BUILT-IN SAFETY FEATURES

• Operator Presence Monitoring System keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
• Speed Sensitive Steering makes steering less sensitive as ground speed increases for enhanced control.
• Secondary electric hydraulic steering pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure allowing operator to 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.
• Circle Drive Slip Clutch protects the drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions.
• Blade Lift Accumulators absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.
• Safety Features -

1. Optional rearview camera with in-cab monitor
2. Grouped, ground level service points
3. Laminated front window glass
4. Optional LED Lighting
5. Ground-level electrical disconnect switch
6. Ground-level engine shutoff switch
7. Anti-glare paint eases night operation
8. Front and rear fenders

SUSTAINABILITY

• The Cat® C9.3 engine meets U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emission standards.
• Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester) * or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or “Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations” (SEBU6250) for details.
• Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.
• Cat® Grade helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by enabling you to achieve grade faster and more accurately by automating blade actions.
• Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
• VisionLink® displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
• Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink® online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Cat® Reman parts are a sustainable choice. New Cat parts are designed with the potential to have more than one life, so Cat Reman parts are truly remanufactured — not just repaired, rebuilt or reconditioned. Because the process ensures the latest design changes are incorporated into Cat Reman parts, you get like new quality and outstanding performance at lower cost.
