Caterpillar launch the new Cat 140 Motor Grader 

WesTrac and Caterpillar are set to make major waves at the Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo 2026 in Sydney, when the all new Cat 140 Motor Grader will make its official NSW public debut. This next generation grader has been completely redesigned from the ground up, and the expo will be the very first opportunity for operators, contractors and fleet managers to see it up close. If you want to experience the latest in grader technology, innovation and performance, this is the launch event you won’t want to miss.

Visitors to the WesTrac stand will get hands on access to the new Cat 140’s biggest upgrades—including its fully redesigned cab, advanced 10 inch touchscreen, integrated rear camera, 9 speed transmission with a dedicated finish gear, and the latest Cat Grade technology. You’ll be able to step inside the machine, ask questions directly to product experts including Troy Karevski (Graders Official), and see for yourself how Caterpillar has reengineered one of the world’s most iconic graders for the modern jobsite. If you’re researching new equipment or looking to upgrade your fleet, nothing beats seeing the machine live.

With thousands of operators, earthmoving pros and industry leaders attending every year, the Diesel Dirt & Turf Expo is the perfect place to explore what’s new—and the Cat 140 launch is shaping up to be a headline moment. Don’t miss your chance to be among the first in Australia to experience the future of grading technology in person.

MEET TROY KAREVSKI (GRADERS OFFICIAL) 

WesTrac is excited to welcome Troy Karevski, aka Graders Official, back to the stand at Diesel Dirt & Turf 2026 – but only on Friday and Saturday. With close to 60,000 Instagram followers, Troy runs Australia’s largest dedicated social media platform for motor graders, showcasing the latest technology, machine setups, and real‑world grading insights. His passion and expertise have made him one of the most recognisable voices in the civil and earthmoving community, with appearances on the Dirt and All podcast—where he discussed grader operation and the rapid rise of his platform—and the Earthworks Hub podcast, cementing his reputation as the go‑to grader content creator.

Across Friday and Saturday only, Troy will be teaming up with WesTrac and Caterpillar to help officially launch the new Cat 140 Motor Grader, giving visitors an expert‑led walk‑through of the machine’s most impressive upgrades, including the highly anticipated High Performance Circle (HPC), which delivers major improvements in maintenance efficiency.

Fans of Graders Official can meet Troy in person, grab photos, talk grader tech, and score limited‑edition merch and stickers he’ll be handing out during his two‑day appearance. Whether you’re an operator, a grader fanatic, or simply love Troy’s content, make sure you visit the WesTrac stand on Friday or Saturday—because this year, that’s your only chance to catch him live at DD&T.

There’s a lot more to see at DD&T than just machines

At DD&T, step into WesTrac’s all‑new Aftermarket Zone, where hands‑on learning meets real‑world machine know‑how. This zone is designed for operators, owners, and the mechanically curious to dive deep into the parts, systems and innovations that keep Cat equipment performing at its best. Guests can explore Cat cutting edges and Cat Advansys™ hardware up close, with WesTrac experts on hand to break down how these systems work, why they matter, and how to choose the right setups for different applications. It’s the perfect stop for anyone wanting to sharpen their knowledge – or simply understand what makes Cat GET so trusted across the industry.

Cat Advansys Competition – Fastest Tooth Change 

Our Aftermarket area will also feature live Cat Advansys demonstrations, giving visitors the chance to watch the system in action before jumping into our crowd‑favourite competition: the Cat Advansys Fastest Tooth Change Challenge. Put your skills to the test and see if you can swap a tooth faster than your mates, the pros, or even the WesTrac team. With prizes up for grabs, it’s a bit of fun with a competitive “edge”, and a great way to test your speed and technique.

Live Engine Rebuild 

One of the biggest highlights of this area will be the interactive Cat engine display, where a talented female WesTrac apprentice will be completing a live engine rebuild right in front of the crowd. This authentic hands‑on display gives guests a rare behind‑the‑scenes look at what goes into rebuilding a Cat engine—no staged demos, no shortcuts, just real work happening in real time. Visitors can ask questions about the WesTrac Apprentice Program, training pathways, workshop life, and the details of the rebuild itself, making this a standout experience for young people exploring career options or anyone who’s ever wondered how these engines come apart and go back together.

The Essentials 

Rounding out the zone, guests will be able to browse a range of Cat Aftermarket essentials, including genuine filters and fluid sampling kits. Our Services team will be available to answer questions about fluid sampling, how it works, which testing kits fit your fleet, and how to interpret results to keep machines healthier for longer. You can also learn about the Cat Credits program—what it is, how to join, and how to redeem credits for maximum value across parts and services. With expert guidance and plenty to discover, this area is the ultimate stop for anyone who wants to keep their Cat equipment performing at its peak.
