Many earthmoving and construction jobs will need a grader on site. Graders are used for civil engineering projects to precisely refine surface levels that a scraper, excavator or dozer has “rough graded”. Below we delve into the nuts and bolts of all the questions you should ask yourself when hiring a grader. How big is a grader's blade? Graders are fitted with a long movable blade used to create flat surfaces. Our grader hire suppliers categorise their graders by blade width, from less than 10ft, to 12ft, 14ft, 16ft, and right up to 24ft. Smaller blades might be used on jobs like embankments, drains and ditches. The larger 24ft bladed models are usually used in the construction of mine haul roads to make way for big rigid rear dump trucks to travel around mine sites.

Not quite sure why you need a grader for your next project? Knowing what a grader does and what type you need is important when planning out your project - from residential projects to road constructions. The name ‘grader’ alludes to what the machine does, which is leveling the ground to a certain grade in preparation for laying asphalt or concrete on top of the area. This construction machine can also be used for the removal of snow, debris and earthmoving based on the projects’ location and requirements.Graders are almost always found on road construction, infrastructure projects and building developments, working the ground to an even level that is safe to build on. If the ground is not properly compacted and graded before construction works are undertaken the project’s structural integrity is at risk. This is why having an experienced grader operator is integral to the entire projects survival.
