Construction activity requires specific skill sets and specialised heavy-duty machinery. A Grader or Grader Machine is one such specialised and large piece of heavy construction equipment. The most characteristic and distinguishing feature of a grader machine is the long blade at the front.
Uses of Grader Machine
Motor grader machines are used mainly and extensively in road construction activity for ‘grading’ or smooth levelling of gravelly road surface to make it ready for laying the asphalt. Apart from roadwork, these versatile heavy-duty machines can also be seen deployed in grading earthwork at civil construction sites and in flattening out the ground at mining and railway site work. In developing countries a motor grader is put to work for an average daily period of 4-6 hours. The uptime for graders used in developing countries can be increased provided they are built to suit the specific market conditions and external environment factors such as material availability.
