Construction 170HP Motor Graders

Where a 170HP motor grader earns its keep

A grader is a finishing machine. A bulldozer moves the bulk soil, and the grader then trims the surface to the right level and slope. The blade can be angled, tilted and shifted to the side while the machine drives straight, so the operator can shape a road crown or cut a drain ditch in one pass.

Common jobs for a grader of this size include:

• Fine grading of road subgrade and base layers before paving
• Shaping camber so rain runs off the road surface
• Cutting and cleaning side drains and ditches
• Regular upkeep of unpaved and haul roads

Typical build and controls

The specification table below shows the details for this model. Values marked as typical reflect graders of this type, and we confirm each one in writing for your order:

• Controls: hydraulic blade controls, operator cab controlled
• Drive: diesel engine, articulated frame, centrally mounted moldboard
• Build: steel moldboard blade, steel frame
• Class range: 130-220 hp, 3.0-4.3 m blade width across the class

If the job calls for a lighter or heavier unit, compare the 130HP motor grader or the 220HP motor grader in the same range.

Ordering 170HP Motor Graders for export or tender

Buyers usually ask us to confirm blade width, tyre size and any rear ripper or front push plate before we quote. For a tender, we recommend you send the technical spec and delivery deadline from the award with your first message, so our offer matches it from the start.

We quote on EXW, FOB, CFR or CIF terms, and the price depends on spec, quantity and port. We ship to Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and many other markets, with seaworthy crating for loose parts. Site safety teams often check machines against OSHA construction safety guidance. Our shipping, Incoterms and export documents page explains how cost and risk split under each term.
