Overview
Pair the 150 with ground conditions and tailor steering preferences for powerful productivity
The Cat® 150 motor grader delivers serious power for road maintenance, fine grading, and site prep with strong traction and smoother finishes. Now with both joystick or lever steering options, the 150 gives operators precise, comfortable control.
Benefits
Built to Work Smarter
Delivers stronger power to the ground with a larger engine and steady net output. More power and finishing gear improve surface quality, while increased operating weight ensures consistent blade control on angled grading.* []
Engineered with You in Mind
Optimized for operators with a redesigned cab, improved HVAC and seating, optional rear, front, and 360° vision with People Detect, and enhanced all‑around visibility from the operator station.
Made for Maximum Output
Choose joystick or lever/steering controls for operator preference, use optional Cat® Grade tech to achieve grade faster, and take advantage of enhanced capability for easy attachment upgrades.
Features At A Glance
Redesigned Cab
The redesigned cab provides better visibility to the ground, grouped control buttons for ease of operations, optional seat upgrades, and comfort customizations for the operator. The Cat 150 motor grader offers steering wheel and lever (LVR) steering controls or joystick (JOY) steering controls.
Safety
- Operator presence monitor keeps the parking brake engaged and hydraulic implements disabled until the operator is seated and the machine is ready for operation.
- Anti-glare paint eases night operation eye strain.
- Ground-level refueling requires no climbing on the machine to fill the fuel tank.
- Ensure three points of contact when entering and existing the machine with strategically placed walkways and grab rails.
- Work past sundown using the LED light package option for increased nighttime visibility.
- Speed sensitive steering lessens steering sensitivity as ground speed increases for greater operator confidence and control.
- The standard secondary steering system's electric hydraulic pump automatically engages in case of a drop in steering pressure to ensure operator can steer the machine to a stop.
- Hydraulic lockout disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering control. This is especially useful while roading.
- Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators to enable stopping in case of machine failure.
- Perforated steel tandem walkways and convenient grab rails provide a sturdy platform when moving on, off and around the machine.
- Standard circle drive slip clutch protects the standard drawbar, circle and moldboard from shock loads if the blade encounters an immovable object and also reduces the possibility of abrupt directional changes in poor traction conditions. The optional blade lift accumulators help absorb impact loads by allowing vertical blade travel. This optional feature reduces wear and impact loading for enhanced operator safety.

Lower Maintenance Costs
- Grouped filters and access points help operators
- Engage Eco mode to reduce fuel burn.
- Filters, such as hydraulic oil and engine air filters, are grouped together for easy access and preventative maintenance. The next generation filters help reduce your fluid and filter costs.
- Spend less time cleaning the cooling system with the reversing fan option, which helps keep costs down when cleaned once per week giving you more uptime.
- Optional High Performance Circle helps eliminate hours of monthly planned maintenance for frequent inspection, wear strip replacement and circle shoe adjustments associated with conventional circles. Advantages include increased circle torque, performance, and improved durability. It provides a smooth, effortless rotation of blade and assists in meeting road design elevation tolerance.
- Maintain roads with the standard drawbar circle moldboard with hardened circle teeth for increased durability. For tight finish grading, consider the top adjust drawbar option for applications that require maximum accuracy, and offers up to 45 percent reduction in maintenance cost over the standard.
Sustainability
- The Cat engine meets Brazil MAR-1, equivalent to U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage V emission standards.
- Cat diesel engines are required to use ULSD (ultra-low sulfur diesel fuel with 15 ppm of sulfur or less) or ULSD blended with the following lower-carbon intensity fuels up to: 20% biodiesel FAME (fatty acid methyl ester)* or 100% renewable diesel, HVO (hydrotreated vegetable oil) and GTL (gas-to-liquid) fuels. Refer to guidelines for successful application. Please consult your Cat dealer or Caterpillar Machine Fluids Recommendations (SEBU6250) for details.
- Engine Idle Shutdown Timer reduces fuel burn, greenhouse gas emissions and unnecessary idle time by shutting down the machine after a pre-set idling period.
- Cat Grade helps reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions by enabling you to achieve grade faster and more accurately by automating blade actions.
- Extended maintenance intervals not only reduce downtime but decrease the amount of fluid and filters that are replaced over the life of the machine.
- VisionLink displays the CO2 emissions for monitored assets, calculated by fuel type for the Runtime Fuel Burned each day in a selected date range.
- Don't waste fuel idling. Cat VisionLink online fleet monitoring helps you manage idle time and reduce fuel burn and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Cat Reman parts are a sustainable choice. New Cat parts are designed with the potential to have more than one life, so Cat Reman parts are truly remanufactured not just repaired, rebuilt or reconditioned. Because the process ensures the latest design changes are incorporated into Cat Reman parts, you get like new quality and outstanding performance at lower cost.
