Work In Comfort
The redesigned cab provides better visibility to the ground, grouped control buttons for ease of operations, optional seat upgrades, and comfort customizations for the operator. The Cat 150 motor grader offers lever and steering wheel (LVR) or joystick (JOY) configurations to match operator preference.
Built-In Safety Measures
- Operator presence monitor keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
- Anti-glare paint eases night operation eye strain.
- Ground-level refueling requires no climbing on the machine to fill the fuel tank.
- Ensure three points of contact when entering and existing the machine with strategically placed walkways and grab rails.
- Work past sundown using the LED light package option for increased nighttime visibility.
- Speed sensitive steering lessens steering sensitivity as ground speed increases for greater operator confidence and control.
- The standard secondary steering system's electric hydraulic pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure to ensure operator can 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.
- Standard circle drive slip clutch protects the standard drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions. The optional blade lift accumulators help absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.
Technology that Gets Work Done
Using the data from technology-equipped machines, get more information and insight into equipment and operations.
- Cat Grade Attachment Ready Option (ARO) is the building block for all Cat motor grader technologies.
- Cat VisionLink provides actionable data insights for all assets - regardless of fleet size or equipment manufacturer.*Review equipment data from your desktop or mobile device to maximize uptime and optimize assets. Dashboards provide information such as hours, miles, location, idle time, and fuel utilization. Make informed decisions that lower costs, simplify maintenance, and improve safety and security on your jobsite.
- Cat Inspect is a mobile application that allows you to easily perform digital Preventative Maintenance (PM) checks, inspections, and daily walkarounds. Inspections can easily be integrated with other Cat data systems like VisionLink so you can keep a close eye on your fleet.
- Remote troubleshoot is a mobile application that allows your Cat dealer to perform diagnostic testing on your connected machine remotely to help ensure that issues are resolved quickly and with less downtime.
- Cat Grade 3D for motor graders, also called "mastless," is a machine integrated grade control system that helps you get to grade faster with more accuracy, efficiency, and productivity. Automatic blade control reduces operator inputs and the number of passes to get the job done to save you time and money. E-fence is fully calibrated from the factory.
- Cross Slope Assist now includes Position Sensing Shift Cylinder (PSC), E-fence blade avoidance, and two sensors to simplify mastless upgrades. It allows the operator to manually control one end of the moldboard while the system controls the other.
- Attachment Ready Option (ARO) provides sensor-ready swivel mountings for faster aftermarket work tool installation.
A New Power Strategy
A new specification is now available on Next Generation Cat® Motor Graders, showing the actual power to the ground performance. Cat updated the power strategy (called Power to the Ground) so the machine now delivers consistent power in every condition – hot or cold weather, heavy or light load. This means the grader feels more stable, more predictable, and easier to control, especially when fine‑grading.
You still get the same real‑world productivity, with smoother operation and better fuel efficiency.
More Consistent Power to the Ground
With true constant net power, the machine delivers consistent power regardless of temperature or load, providing more predictable grading performance and better machine feel and control—especially for fine grading.
Improved Grading Quality with Integrated Control Technologies
A more stable power curve allows Cat Grade with Cross Slope, Stable Blade, and 3D Grade to operate more accurately, improving automated blade control response with consistent, predictable power.
No Loss in Real-World Productivity
Next Generation Cat motor graders deliver the same legendary performance for road building, site prep, ditching, and snow removal—now with the latest design evolution.
Better Fuel Efficiency
Power to the Ground supports smoother operation and reduced fuel burn by avoiding unnecessary power spikes, allowing the machine to run in optimized power more often.
Lower Maintenance Costs
- Grouped filters and access points help operators
- Engage Eco mode to reduce fuel burn.
- Filters, such as hydraulic oil, engine air, and DEF filters, are grouped together for easy access and preventative maintenance. The next generation filters help reduce your fluid and filter costs.
- Spend less time cleaning the cooling system with the reversing fan option, which helps keep costs down when cleaned once per week giving you more uptime.
- Optional High Performance Circle helps eliminate hours of monthly planned maintenance for frequent inspection, wear strip replacement and circle shoe adjustments associated with conventional circles. Advantages include increased circle torque, performance, and improved durability. It provides a smooth, effortless rotation of blade and assists in meeting road design elevation tolerance.
- Maintain roads with the standard drawbar circle moldboard with hardened circle teeth for increased durability. For tight finish grading, consider the top adjust drawbar option for applications that require maximum accuracy, and offers up to 45 percent reduction in maintenance cost over the standard.
Sustainability
The Cat® 150 motor grader helps you meet emissions requirements while providing the fuel flexibility needed to keep working efficiently.
- The 150 motor grader is engineered to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emissions standards for jobsite compliance.
- Runs efficiently on ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) with no changes to normal operating practices.
- Supports approved lower-carbon fuel options, including up to 20% biodiesel blends or renewable diesel fuels
- Allows operators to focus on the job, knowing the machine is designed to meet environmental regulations while delivering consistent performance.
