Operator Station A technologically advanced cab, featuring joystick controls, provides unmatched comfort and visibility. 4 Steering and Implement Controls Two joysticks offer precise control and unparalleled ease of operation. This advanced technology makes the 140M the most operator-friendly motor grader in the world. 6 Structures, Drawbar, Circle and Moldboard The 140M frame provides a solid working platform, and the DCM delivers service ease and precise blade control for maximum productivity. [. . . ] The Cat C7 and C9 engines meet specific performance requirements for 140M and 140M AWD applications. Both engines provide superior torque and lugging capability that can pull through sudden, short-term increases in loads, maintaining consistent, desirable grading speeds to get the work done faster without downshifting. The hydraulic demand fan automatically adjusts cooling fan speed according to engine cooling requirements. This system reduces demands on the engine, putting more horsepower to the ground and improving fuel efficiency. The Cat C7 and C9 engines with ACERT Technology meet or exceed all U. S. EPA Tier 3 and European Union Stage IIIa emissions control standards. 12 Hydraulics The 140M electro-hydraulics enable advanced machine controls with precise and predictable movements. Consistent and Predictable Movement. PPPC valves have different flow rates for the head (red) and rod ends (blue) of the cylinder. This ensures consistent extension and retraction speeds for each cylinder, and gives the operator a consistent and predictable response every time an implement control is moved. Hydraulic flow is proportioned to ensure all implements operate simultaneously with little effect on the engine or implement speeds. If demand exceeds pump capacity, all cylinder velocities are reduced by the same ratio. The result is improved productivity in all applications. Advanced Electro-Hydraulic System. This technology is the foundation for revolutionary changes of the machine and implement controls. Advanced joystick controls provide unmatched controllability with precise, predictable hydraulic movements and the reliability you expect from Caterpillar. Blade float is built into the blade lift control valves and is optional for some auxiliary hydraulic functions. The blade float feature allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the road when removing snow. Floating only one cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder. Cat® XTTM Hose. Caterpillar hose technology allows high pressures for maximum power and reduced downtime. Hose clips prevent hose rubbing and excessive vibration for lower owning and operating costs. Large, separate hydraulic oil supply prevents crosscontamination and provides proper oil cooling, which reduces heat build-up and extends component life. The time proven load-sensing system and the advanced Proportional Priority Pressure-Compensating (PPPC, or "triple-PC") electro-hydraulic valves on the 140M are designed to provide superior implement control and enhanced machine performance in all applications. Continuous matching of hydraulic flow and pressure to power demands creates less heat and reduces power consumption. Predicable movements 13 Integrated Electronic Solutions Full systems integration optimizes machine performance and availability. 140M with AccuGradeTM System "Smart Machine". [. . . ] The 140M extended service intervals, such as 500-hour engine oil changes and 4, 000-hour hydraulic oil changes, reduce machine service time and increase availability. Conveniently located ecology drains shorten service times and help keep the environment safe by preventing spills. Diagnostics and Monitoring. The 140M integrates Cat Messenger, Cat Electronic Technician and S·O·SSM Sampling ports for easy monitoring and fast troubleshooting, keeping your machine up and running.
