New Cat® Grading Beams

Cat® explain that their new Grading Beams for Cat Tiltrotators allow contractors to take on dynamic and efficient grading and compaction work using excavators. Pairing with Cat Tiltrotators enables 360˚ bidirectional and 40˚ left-and-right rotation of the grading beam to increase attachment versatility. The grading beams’ mechanically adjustable roller, from 10 mm (0.40 in) below frame to 20 mm (0.79 in) above, flexibly tailors the desired level of compaction based on material type. Preventing material from sticking to the roller, the adjustable roller scraper allows the attachment to be used with clay, silt and other sticky materials.

The product is available in five widths from 1250 to 3000 mm (49 to 118 in), Cat Grading Beams quickly tackle a range of applications from grading sidewalks to larger site prep applications. The design’s large top opening with solid extended sides and side plates allows the beam to spread, compact, and grade materials quickly and effectively. Highly abrasion resistant, Hardox 500 wear protection at the bottom of the beam protects the frame for long-life operation. The beam’s welded frame increases structural rigidity, while additional support plates on the heavy-duty frame extend beam strength and overall service life, say Cat®.
