When you are working in the construction industry, it’s vital that before you start building you have a flat and even surface to build on. While common pieces of construction equipment such as bobcats and bulldozers can create a relatively flat surface, to create the perfect final trim surface you need a specialised piece of machinery – the grader.
Graders, also known as motor graders and road graders are a jack of all trades machine. Able to handle jobs from all aspects of construction and earthmoving, including spreading, fine grading, site clearing and even snow removal from sites that are located in cold areas that are prone to snowfall in the winter months, graders are used across all areas of construction from residential to civil and commercial construction.
While they are commonly associated with the construction and maintenance of dirt and gravel roads, motor graders can also be used to set the soil or gravel foundation of a block for construction of buildings from small residential blocks to large scale subdivisions.
