    Graders are construction machines used to move and shape soil, snow, and other materials to construct and maintain roads and runways. They have a moldboard blade that can be angled to cut and move materials laterally. Other main components include a frame for stability and a circular base below the frame that allows the blade to position at various angles. Graders are used for tasks like leveling surfaces, cutting ditches, shaping bank slopes, cleaning ditches, and spreading materials. Their engine capacities range from 60 to 600 horsepower.

    Grader

    Graders  are  multipurpose


    machines  used  primarily for general
    construction and maintenance of roads
    and runways, moving large amounts of
    materials like soil ,snow laterally by side
    casting.
    Main Working Components of Grader

    circle

    frame

    Mold board/blade Scarifier log


     Moldboard: it is also referred as blade. Used
    for side cast the material it encounters .its
    ends can be raised or lowered. it can be
    placed in may position.
     Frame : the frame connected to the front axle
    extends the full length of grader and enhances
    the mechanism.
     Scarifier : material too hard to cut with the
    moldboard are broken with the scarifier.
     Circle : the circular shape beneath the frame
    allows the moldboard to position at any angle.
    Different Tasks of a grader:
    1) Planning surface: Mold board can be set at
    any angle to plane off irregular surfaces and
    using the resultant material to fill low spots.
    2) Ditch cuts: Ditches can be cut by moldboard
    and scarifier combined normally at 2nd gear at
    full throttle.
    3) Creating a bank slope: Grader can be used for
    Sloping the bank of road prevents slope
    failure.
    4)Cleaning Ditches: Grader can be used to
    remove unwanted material from ditch during
    the bank slope operation.
    5)Spreading material: Graders are often used to
    spread and mix loads.
    Capacities
    Different capacities of grader ranges from
    about 60 to 600hp.
    Blade size ranges from 2.5 to 7.3 meter.
