Construction 130HP Motor Graders

What 130HP Motor Graders are used for

A grader's long blade sits between the front and rear axles. That position lets it shave high spots and fill low ones in a single pass, leaving a flat, even surface. Typical work for a machine of this size includes:

• Reshaping gravel and earth roads after the rainy season
• Cutting side drains and restoring road camber so water runs off
• Spreading base material ahead of a roller on new roads
• Leveling yards, pads and farm tracks

Typical build points

The specification table below holds the model data. Values marked as typical describe what graders in this class usually have, and we confirm each one for your order:

• Controls: hydraulic blade controls, operator cab controlled
• Frame: diesel engine, articulated frame, centrally mounted moldboard
• Build: steel moldboard blade, steel frame
• Class range: graders of this type span 130-220 hp, 3.0-4.3 m blade width, and this model is at the lower end

If you are building wider roads or need more pull, compare the 170HP motor grader or view the full 130HP-220HP motor grader range.

Why a smaller grader often makes sense

Many rural road networks are mostly gravel, and the work is steady upkeep rather than big new builds. A 130 hp grader uses less fuel than larger models, moves along narrow roads with ease, and is simpler for a local operator to learn. Paired with a water truck and a roller, it can keep a district road network in shape.

Ordering and export

Buyers usually ask us to confirm tyre size, blade width, and whether a front blade or rear ripper can be supplied. We recommend sending the tender specification and delivery date with your first message. We quote on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms from Shanghai and ship from China to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa. Our shipping and export documents page explains each Incoterm.
