The M Series Motor Grader represents a revolution in operational efficiency and overall
productivity. The 16M is designed to help you build and maintain the haul roads needed
to support maximum efficiency in mining operations. The 16M has set a new standard
ofquality to maximize your return on investment.

Operator Station
Comfort, productivity, advanced technology
Visibility
Good visibility is key to your safety and efficiency. Large windows make it easy to see the moldboard and tires, as well as behind the
machine. A rear vision camera is available to enhance your sight lines to the rear of the machine.
The high capacity Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning (HVAC) system dehumidifies and pressurizes the cab, circulates fresh air,
seals out dust and keeps windows clear.
Enjoy streaming audio from a portable device or hands-free use of a mobile phone while operating machine with available
Bluetoothtechnology.
4
Steering and Implement Controls
Unprecedented precision and ease of operation
Joystick Functions
The left joystick controls steering, articulation, return-to-
center, wheel lean, gear selection, left moldboard lift cylinder
and float.
Articulation Return-to-Center
Automatically returns the machine to a straight frame position
from any angle with the touch of a button.
5
Engine
Power and reliability
The Cat C13 engine with ACERT Technology gives you the
performance to maintain consistent grading speeds for
maximum productivity. Superior torque and lugging capability
pulls through sudden, short-term load increases.
Compression Brake
The standard three-phase compression brake enables higher
travel speeds downhill, while reducing wear on brake components.
Thisimproves overall productivity and lowers your maintenance costs.
6
Power Train
Maximum power to the ground
Hydraulic Brakes
Oil-bathed multi-disc service brakes are hydraulically
actuated for smooth, predictable braking and lower operating
costs. Brakes are located at each tandem wheel for a large
total brake surface area to give you dependable stopping
power and longer life.
7
Structures and Drawbar-Circle-Moldboard
Service ease and precise blade control
8
Hydraulics
Advanced machine control
Blade Float
Allows the blade to move freely under its own weight. By floating both
cylinders, the blade can follow the contours of the haul road. Floating only
one cylinder permits the toe of the blade to follow a hard surface while
the operator controls the slope with the other lift cylinder. An optional
Variable Down Pressure feature allows you to select the amount of down
force when the blade is in float. This helps you extend cutting edge life
and is effective for removing snow and mud from a road surface.
9
Cat Grade Control
Cat Grade Control Cross Slope is a standard, fully integrated, factory installed
grade control system that helps your operator more easily maintain desired
cross slope by automatically controlling one side of the blade. The system is
job-ready from day one, and scalable for the future with AccuGrade upgrade
kits that provide additional 2D and/or 3D control features.

Safety
Designed with protection in mind Access Platform
Optional factory installed wrap-around platform has rear
enclosure walkways, left walkway lighting, rear fenders, left-
rear swing-down ladder and a right-front cab egress ladder.
Hydraulic Lockout
Disables all implement functions while still providing machine steering
control. This safety feature is especially useful while roading.
Brake Systems
Brakes are located at each tandem wheel to eliminate braking loads
on the power train. Redundant brake systems utilize accumulators
toenable stopping in case of engine failure.
12
Object Detection
Optional camera and radar system alerts operator via an in-cab display if any objects are
inclose proximity when the machine is in reverse. The scalable system allows cameras
anda display to be installed initially and radar to be added later for additional functionality.
Rearview Camera
A camera with in-cab monitor is available to further enhance lines of sight and help
operators be more aware of their surroundings.
13
Serviceability and
Customer Support
When uptime counts
Advanced Diagnostics
Cat Messenger, combined with full systems integration,
enhances diagnostic capability for quick analysis of
criticaldata.
Electronic Technician (Cat ET) lets service technicians
access stored diagnostic data and configure machine
parameters through the Cat Data Link.
Low Battery Elevated Idle raises idle speed when low system
voltage is detected, ensuring adequate system voltage and
improving battery reliability.
Automatic Engine Deration protects the engine by
automatically lowering engine torque output and alerting
theoperator if critical conditions are detected.
14
Sustainability
Thinking generations ahead
Fuel Efficiency
Integrated machine systems and technologies improve productivity for greater accuracy, allowing the machine to do more work
pergallon of fuel.
Sound
Reduced engine noise and quieter cabs mean lower operator and spectator sound levels.
Safety
A variety of safety features help safeguard operators and others on the job site.
15
Work Tools and Attachments
Equip your machine for the job
Moldboard Options
A 4.9 m (16 ft) moldboard is standard on the 16M.
Rear Ripper/Scarifier
Made to penetrate tough material fast and rip thoroughly for easier movement with
the moldboard. The ripper includes three shanks with the ability to add four more
foradditional versatility.
