When you're working in construction, civil engineering, or road maintenance, having the right equipment makes all the difference—and motor graders, often called road graders, are the backbone of most job sites. At Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, you'll find a trusted lineup of motor graders for sale, helping you tackle even the toughest jobs efficiently.
What's the difference between a motor grader and a road grader?
If you're new to buying equipment, you might wonder if there’s a real difference between motor graders and road graders. Truth is, both terms are interchangeable across North America. Essentially, these are heavy-duty machines with long blades designed for flattening, smoothing, and leveling surfaces—perfect for everything from road construction to large-scale landscaping projects.
Why buy a used motor grader?
Used motor graders aren't just practical—they're smart. You’ll save significantly compared to buying brand-new, and if you pick a machine from well-known brands like Caterpillar (Cat) or John Deere, you're investing in proven reliability and durability.
Plus, buying used means no waiting around for delivery. You can fill a gap in your fleet fast, keeping your projects running without delays. At Ritchie Bros. Auctioneers, every grader is thoroughly inspected before it's listed, giving you peace of mind about your purchase. With our extensive inventory of used motor graders, finding one that fits your exact needs and budget has never been easier.

Key things to consider when buying a motor grader
