What is a road grader?

A road grader, also known as a road blade, is a piece of heavy equipment used in road construction and maintenance. It is typically used to move material, level and smooth roads, and can also be used to create a crown on the surface.

How do road graders work?

The blade of a road grader is made up of a heavy metal plate, with several cutting edges. The blade is attached to the front of the machine and can be raised, lowered, and angled. This allows the operator to control the depth and shape of the material being moved, levelled, and shaped. As the grader moves forward the blade works to move, level, and shape the surface of the road.

Why do road graders need GPS?

GPS in road graders is used to make navigating and working in remote areas easier, faster, and safer. It can help the operator pinpoint their location, avoid hazards, and precisely measure distances. GPS also allows the operator to accurately measure their progress and track the details of their project from start to finish. With GPS guidance, operators can more accurately grade roads and achieve better results. GPS can also allow for increased safety when working in remote, unfamiliar areas.

What is road grader hire?

Road grader hire is the process of renting a road grader for a specific purpose or project. Many companies that specialise in heavy construction equipment rental provide road graders for hire. Renting a grader is typically a more economical option than purchasing one if the project only requires occasional use of the equipment.
