12H Global 12H Motor Grader

Engine The Cat C-9 engine is designed and rated to handle the tough loads. The Variable Horsepower option maximizes response, power, and efficiency, while the direct drive, power shift transmission optimizes blade control and versatility. Power Train The power shift transmission takes full advantage of the powerful C-9 engine. Variable Horsepower uses specific torque curves for each gear range for optimum performance. Dual air system and multi-disc oil brakes assure reliable braking control. Hydraulics The load-sensing hydraulic system lowers power consumption and system heat. The advanced PPPC control valves provide low lever effort, balanced flow and consistent cylinder speeds for outstanding blade control. Blade float is incorporated into the blade lift valves. Drawbar, Circle, Moldboard Flexible moldboard positioning and a long wheelbase improve material handling. Rugged construction and replaceable wear parts minimize operation costs. Structures The 12H frame is designed and built to exceed the expectations of the customer. Serviceability Caterpillar re-engineered inspection and service points, grouping them into a convenient left-hand side, ground level 'service center.' Ground level fueling and extended engine and hydraulic oil change intervals help minimize downtime. Operator's Station Low effort blade controls, electronic throttle control, EMS III monitoring system, and improved ventilation provide world-class operator control and comfort. Excellent front and rear visibility can increase operator confidence and productivity.
