Lecture 8 FINISHING EQUIPMENT: GRADER TSP-308 MPK Ferdinand Fassa OUTLINE 1. Introduction 2. Grader Operations 3. Time Estimates 1. INTRODUCTION Grader are multipurpose machines used for finishing & shaping On many projects, graders are used as the finishing machines finishing machines include but not limited to: Graders Gradall Trimers 1. INTRODUCTION (2) Graders are multipurpose machines used for: Finishing Shaping bank Sloping Ditching Grader’s primary purpose is cutting and moving material with a blade, known as moldboard 1. INTRODUCTION (3) FUNCTION To provide (shape) of soil surface to the desired grade 1. INTRODUCTION (4) Comparison with Dozer • A grader is restricted to making shallow cuts in medium-hard materials • A grader should not be used for heavy excavations • A grader can move small amounts of material 1. INTRODUCTION (5) Comparison with Dozer • A grader are capable of progressively cutting ditches to a depth of 3 ft. • So more economical to used other types of equipment to cut ditches deeper than 3 ft 1. INTRODUCTION (6) Components of Grader • Moldboard (blade) • Scarifier • Light rear-mounted ripper 1. INTRODUCTION (7) Moldboard Blade Moldboard Commonly referred to as blade The moldboard is used to side cast the material it encounters The moldboard can be positioned at almost any angle ARTICULATED GRADER POSITIONS 13 BLADE MECHANISM MOTOR GRADER APPLICATIONS 2. GRADER OPERATIONS a. Planning Surface, used to plane or smooth off cut or fill surface b. Ditch Cuts c. Haul-road Maintenance d. Spreading, often used to spread and mix dumped load 3.

Six passes of a motor grader will be required. Job efficiency is 0.80 Based on operator skill, machine characteristics and job characteristics, you estimate two passes at 4 mi/h, two passes at 5 mi/h, and two passes at 6 mi/h for this job. 215.0 m 215.0 m 215.0 1 Time, h 23.1 h 4.0 mph 5.0 mph 6.0 mph 0.80 30 GRADALL The Gradall is a utility machine which combines the operating features of the hoe, dragline and motor grader. TRIMMERS Trimmers are specialty machines to fine finishing for special jobs The result is better accuracy and greater production compared to the fine-grading with a grader SELF STUDIES 1.
