CAT Motor Graders 140K2

Power Train

Smooth Shifting Transmission

• Full Electronic Clutch Pressure Control ensures smooth shifting and directional changes.
• Shift Torque Management helps to smooth gear changes without the use of the inching pedal, helping the operator to remain focused on the task at hand.
• Load Compensation ensures consistent shift quality regardless of blade or machine load.
• Optional Autoshift automatically shifts the transmission at optimal points for easier operation.

Oil Disc Brakes - Completely Sealed, Adjustment Free

Oil-bathed, air actuated and spring-released, located at each tandem wheel to eliminate power train braking loads and to reduce service time. The large brake surface area provides dependable braking capability and extended life before rebuild.

Front Axle With Cat Live Spindle Design

Cat sealed spindle keeps the bearings free from contaminants and lubricated in a lightweight oil to reduce owning and operating costs. A larger tapered roller bearing is outboard where the load is greater, extending bearing life.

Cat C7 Engine

Power Management

The 140K2 offers standard Variable Horse Power (VHP) to provide more power in the higher gears. The Cat C7 engine with ACERT TM Technology provides outstanding performance and lower emissions. The Electronic Throttle Control provides easier, more precise and consistent throttle operation. Engine Over-Speed Protection prevents downshifting until an acceptable safe travel speed has been established.

Hydraulics

Balanced Flow, Independent Oil Supply

Hydraulic flow is balanced to ensure all implements operate simultaneously. Independent oil supply prevents cross-contamination and provides proper oil cooling, signifying less heat build-up and extended component life.

Implement Control Valves

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 to protect the cylinders from over pressurization.

Load-Sensing Hydraulics

A load sensing variable displacement pump and advanced hydraulic valves provide better implement control and machine performance. Continuously matching hydraulic flow and pressure to power demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption.

Consistent and Predictable Movement

The hydraulic system valves are specifically designed for each hydraulic function on the motor grader. They compensate for differences in flow requirements, and the result is predictable, consistent hydraulic speeds whether extending or retracting the cylinder.

Structures / Drawbar-Circle-Moldboard

Designed for strength and durability

Frame Structure – Provides consistency and strength

Front frame 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.

Drawbar, Circle And Moldboard

The 140K Series 2 drawbar is designed for high strength and optimum durability for any application. The features deliver excellent load distribution and minimal material buildup in the circle area while allowing large blade loads to roll freely.

Blade Lift Accumulators

This optional feature helps absorb impact loads to the moldboard and reduce unnecessary wear . It also helps avoid unintended machine movement for increased operator safety.

Work Tools and Attachments

Allows expansion of machine versatility, utilization, and performance. The list includes:

• Moldboard options
• Ground engaging tools
• Rear ripper/scarifier
• Front mounted groups
• Mid-mount scarifier
• Snow removal work tools

Operator Station

Superior comfort, convenience and visibility

140 K Series 2 cabs are designed to keep operators comfortable and productive. Features like low effort pedals and controls, adjustable implement controls and adjustable steering wheel angle make work easier for the operator. A clear view to the moldboard heel and tandem tires enhance productivity and safe operation.

The instrument panel, with easy-to read, high-visibility gauges and warning lamps, places vital machine information and diagnostic capability in easy view of the operator. The dash includes an engine coolant temperature gauge, an articulation gauge, voltage gauge and fuel level gauge. Service brake air pressure gauges are also standard. All major systems are monitored by warning lights.

Some additional cab features include storage area, adjustable control console and coat hook. Optional offerings include power port, air conditioner/heater, suspension seat, defroster fan, sun shade, backup lights, Product Link™ ready, and AccuGrade™ System ready. [NOTE: Some attachments are region specific].

Integrated Technologies

Solutions to make work easier and more efficient

Cat Accugrade

AccuGrade uses positioning and guidance technologies, machine sensors, and automatic blade control to help operators get to grade faster, easier and more efficiently. Digital design plans, real-time cut/fill data, and in-cab guidance give operators detailed information to work more confidently and achieve greater accuracy, in fewer passes, using less material. Operators can stay on grade and improve productivity and accuracy by nearly 50 percent over conventional methods. Grade stakes and checkers are minimized, making the work site safe, efficient, and cost effective. AccuGrade technologies include Cross Slope, Sonic, Laser, GPS, and/or Universal Total Station (UTS).

Accugrade Attachment Ready Option (ARO)

K Series 2 machines can be equipped with the AccuGrade ARO. It can be ordered as a factory or dealer installed option. The attachment option includes built-in mounting points and internal wiring, making installation of the AccuGrade grade control system faster and easier.

Cat Product Link*

Product Link helps take the guesswork out of equipment management with remote monitoring capabilities for your machine or your entire fleet. Track asset location, hours, fuel usage, diagnostic codes, idle time and more through the secure VisionLink® user interface. Knowing where your equipment is, what it’s doing and how it’s performing enables you or your Cat dealer to manage your fleet in real-time so you can maximize efficiency, improve productivity, and lower operating costs. *Product Link licensing not available in all areas. Please consult your Cat dealer for availability.

Serviceability

Grouped service points on the left side of the machine ensure proper maintenance. Easy access to service areas speeds up maintenance and ensures that routine service is performed on time. Extended service intervals reduce downtime, operating cost.

Sustainability

140 K series 2 meets Bharat Stage III emission standards. Integrated machine systems and technologies improve productivity for greater accuracy, lower fuel use and reduced machine wear. The replaceable wear parts extend major component life. Ecology drains help prevent spills. The major components are designed for ‘rebuild’, eliminating waste. A variety of safety features help safeguard operators and others on the job site.
