THE 18 MOTOR GRADER
The Cat 18 builds on the success of the 16 and offers additional power, a wider moldboard and the possibility to use a more aggressive blade angle, making it an ideal fit for mining operations that run 172-tonne (190-ton) or smaller trucks. More power, more efficiency and improved emissions control help it further address challenging mining conditions. Technologies assist the operator and work to minimize operating costs, while Cat durability ensures peak availability.

MAKE THE GRADE
CAT GRADE WITH CROSS SLOPE for mining helps you improve haul road quality and consistency — resulting in higher productivity, increased safety and reduced wear and tear on your machines.
AUTO ARTICULATION combines two functions into one by automatically articulating when the operator makes steering inputs, which improves maneuverability and performance in tight working spaces, enhances operator comfort and reduces fatigue.

GET THE INFORMATION YOU NEED
Cat® Product Link™ wirelessly connects you to your equipment, giving you valuable insight into how your machine or fleet is performing. Most new machines leave the factory with Product Link installed, but conversion kits are available for older models already in the field.
With Product Link Elite, you can stay connected to your machines and get critical data any time, anywhere. It delivers accurate, timely and useful information about the location, utilization and condition of your equipment — the kind of information that can make a huge difference in the efficiency and costs of your entire operation.

MAXIMIZE THE EFFICIENCY OF DOZING & GRADING OPERATIONS
A smooth, even grade can be the difference between a productive mine and hours of costly unplanned downtime. When you equip your Cat Motor Grader with Cat MineStar Solutions for grading, you help your operators achieve the right grade in fewer passes, helping to increase the productivity of your whole fleet — and improve the safety of your operation for everyone.
