CAT 16G grader
Manufacturer: NZG
Scale: 1:50
Here is the discontinued CAT 16G grader by NZG. You can get an idea
of its large size by how it makes that man waving below look small
The inside of the cab has an operators seat with side levers and
a steering wheel
Photo showing the left and rear side of the grader
Photo showing the right side and how not only do the front two
wheels steer but the rear pivits as well
The rear is complete with a working sharp ripping teeth that
can be raise or lowered to dig into the soil
All the deatails are in place even the exposed engine is detailed
to the max. Look at how the air intake above connects to the air
filter cylinder below NZG did a very impressive job!
The blade can be centered, or like shown here slid far out to the left
...or far to the right
The blade lowers
...and lifts
It can be turned to wide angles in both directions
It can be tilted slightly and put on an incline
It can also be brought out far to one side for slope grading and
such, all this is done by the three hydraulics that control the blade
The front axle suspension is extreme to make sure the blade isn't
effected by rough terrian
The same goes for the rear suspension system
This is a great model to add to your collection the details are
amazing as you can now see and even small touches like not using
large rivits and painting over the few on the model make it life like
Barely fitting onto this big 5600i lowboy the 16G heads off to
its next construction site for some massive grading
Here's the big grader in action getting the ground as level
as possible for what will soon be a new roadway
