Grading Beam: 637-6962

Overview

Cat® Grading Beams matched to a Tiltrotator are the perfect pair to take care of your grading needs. A variety of grading beam widths offer options to perform tasks such as creating a pad for a sidewalk, achieving grade and finish to landscaping, or prepping a site for a commercial building.

Features

More Productivity

• Choose a size that fits your work best, with widths from 1250-3000 mm (49-118 in). The smaller sizes can accommodate sidewalk widths without rework, while the wider sizes can grade larger areas in a short amount of time.
• Achieve an exact plan with your grading beams. When used with a tiltrotator, grading beams are compatible with your machine’s Grade technology.
• Retain material better with firm, solid extended sides and side plates with height extension.
• Work in clay, silt, or other wet, sticky materials and prevent them from sticking on the roller with the adjustable scraper.
• Cut through piles of material with large opening on the top side of the beam for material overflow.

Trusted Durability

• Additional, highly abrasion-resistant wear protection on the bottom ofthe beam protects the frame in gravel or other abrasive material types.
• The beam’s welded frame increases the structural integrity.
• Support plates added to heavy duty frame extends beam strengthand overall life.
• Deeper wear edge on bottom for longer beam life and material flowand retention.

Highly Versatile

• Pair the grading beam with a tiltrotator to achieve the most dynamicuse. Utilize the tiltrotator’s 360° bidirectional and 45° left and rightrotation.
• Adjust roller, with bearings on both ends, for desired level of compactiondepending on material type.
• Align the proper width of beam to your job or application with theflexibility of different bolt-on bracket sizes to fit multiple sizes ofcouplers, tiltrotators, and machines.
• Use the grading beam for leveling gravel, soil and other loosematerials, to smooth surfaces, and compact ground.

Integrated Technology

• The Cat PL161 attachment locator is a Bluetooth® device, standardfrom the factory on your grading beam, designed to let users knowwhere their attachments are across all worksites, reduce thenumber of lost attachments, and plan for attachment maintenanceand replacement.
• Save more time and energy with the available work tool recognitionfeature. A simple shake of the attached tool confirms its identity andensures all the attachment settings (pressure, flow, and dimensions)are correct so you can work quickly and efficiently, while takingadvantage of additional ease-of-use features.
• The PL161 integrates easily into VisionLink® for full fleet managementof machines and attachments from one smartphone or tablet dashboardto view location and tracking details.
