Product Description

The GR180 series is a mid-sized, high-efficiency grader engineered to meet the needs of contractors, municipalities, and mining operators who demand consistent performance and low operating costs. Built around a 180HP turbocharged diesel powerplant and a load-sensing hydraulic network, this grader balances fuel economy with the torque necessary for heavy grading, scarifying, and finishing work.

The SC8D190G2B1 engine provides steady torque delivery for sustained cutting and pushing operations. The drivetrain supports multiple forward and reverse gears to match travel speed with cutting load, reducing engine lugging and optimizing fuel consumption. For operations that require reliable hill-climbing torque or long shifts on tough surfaces, the machine delivers consistent traction and thermal management designed for extended duty cycles.

A load-sensing hydraulic system ensures precise blade response and efficient auxiliary control when operating attachments. Operators benefit from smooth, proportional control for lift, tilt, circle rotation and articulation. The hydraulic layout reduces heat generation and improves service intervals, protecting key components and lowering ongoing maintenance costs.

The heavy-duty moldboard features a wide cutting arc and 360° rotation capability for complex shaping tasks. Blade lift height and cutting depth specifications are optimized for base preparation, shoulder work, and ditch shaping. Replaceable cutting edges and robust moldboard supports minimize downtime and extend service life under abrasive conditions.

A reinforced frame and high-strength chassis components deliver stability during heavy impact and sustained lateral loads. The structural design reduces vibration transmission to the cab and critical assemblies, improving operator comfort and protecting sensitive systems. Corrosion-resistant finishes and easy-access points make routine inspections and servicing straightforward.

An ergonomic cabin layout prioritizes operator visibility and intuitive control placement. Optional ROPS/FOPS protection, climate control, and adjustable seating reduce fatigue on long shifts. Clear sightlines to blade edges and front attachments facilitate precise grading and safer work around crews and equipment.

Versatile attachment support enables rapid adaptation to different tasks: rear rippers for breaking compacted ground, scarifiers for hardpan, front blades for snow clearance, and GPS or laser-guided systems for high-precision level control. Custom tire choices and optional 6-wheel drive configurations improve traction on soft or uneven terrain.
