The demand for motor graders is set to increase on planned investments in infrastructure by government and the pick up noticed across the mining segment. Motor Graders are now highly advanced in technological terms providing better safety and comfort to the operators.
Motor Graders are regarded as an indespensable equipment when it comes to construction and maintenance projects across roads, highways and mining. They are used to make land surface smooth and produce fine grades. It is expected with Indian government planning to invest over a $1 trillion towards massive infrastructure development in both rural and urban centers the demand for motor graders will definitey rise. Besides, the pick up in the coal mining activity will also drive the demand for motor graders.
According to a data by Statista, the sales volume of Motor Graders in India is expected to grow by around 38% in CY2019 to 800 units from around 581 in 2015. This is again expected to go past 850 units in 2020.
However, it is pertinent to note that demand for motor graders is driven by its features that enhance the productivity and efficiency at the job site. They are known to reduce cost and advance safe operations at the site, making them one of the favourite equipment of the construction industry.
Some of the characteristics of the Motor Graders:
- Performs many tasks: Motor graders can be used to set the native soil foundation pads, move unearthed soil and debris or raw building materials, completely remove a layer of soil and then spread a new layer at that particular point to produce even surfaces, grade land surfaces, level soil and mix materials. They can be even used to perform other tasks like trenching, digging shallow holes, ditching and laying pipes.
- Cuts on labour cost: By performing the tasks as mentioned above, motor graders highly reduce the need for labour and thus, decrease the labour cost as well.
- Helps in keeping up with the project deadlines: Since the present-day highly advanced and technologically-sound motor graders are not at all affected by any weather or extreme operating conditions, they can very well complete the projects on time and even help contractors to take up more and more projects.
- Reduces rework and increases accuracy, reliability and productivity: Equipped with advanced technologies, motor graders can reach the final grade much faster with more accuracy, thus, saving time and cost associated with rework tasks. This also increases the productivity at the construction site.
- Increase profitability: Increased productivity and the reliability of motor graders ultimately translate into higher profitability.
- Enhances jobsite safety: With advanced technology, telematics, machine control and integrated technology, motor graders greatly help in improving jobsite safety by not causing harm to the men and material.
The remote diagnosis and monitoring technology-equipment installed in latest machines can enhance efficiency by continuously monitoring the fuel consumption, hours operated and operating temperatures.
Apart from the above, motor graders also ensure that the compactor is effectively used with minimum load on it. Thus, it is very advantageous to have motor graders at the jobsite.
