Motor graders also known as road graders that are used as construction vehicles used for leveling soil or ground in the grading process. The vehicle has a long blade that helps to create a flat surface. Motor graders are generally used in the construction and maintenance work of dirt and gravel roads in the construction industry. They are used for different purpose such as mining and construction industry by operating with multiple attachments. Motor graders are also used in making foundation of soil before building construction. They are consistently being used in mining and construction applications to make a smooth surface during the process of construction.
Graders blades are mostly used in the maintenance and construction of gravel roads and dirt roads. When constructing a cemented road, they are used in making the base course to make an extremely straight surface for the asphalt, which is used for positioning. Graders blade are also used for setting natural soil foundation pads
COVID-19 pandemic has shut-down the production of various products in graders blade market industry, mainly owing to the prolonged lockdown in major global countries. This has hampered the growth of graders blade market significantly from last few months, as is likely to continue during 2020.
COVID-19 has already affected the sales of equipment and machinery in the first quarter of 2020 and is likely to cause a negative impact on the market growth throughout the year.
The major demand for equipment and machinery was previously noticed from giant manufacturing countries including the U.S., Germany, Italy, the UK, and China, which is badly affected by the spread of coronavirus, thereby halting the demand for equipment and machinery.
Further, potential impact of the lockdown is currently vague and financial recovery of companies is totally based on its cash reserves. Equipment and machinery companies can afford a full lockdown only for a few months, after which the players would have to modify their investment plans.
Equipment and machinery manufacturers must focus on protecting their workforce, operations, and supply chains to respond toward immediate crises and find new ways of working after COVID-19
Its feature such as multi-tasking are of high use in industry but high initial investment is the limiting factor in the industry.
Motor graders are increasingly being used in building construction, road construction, and mining sites for mixing materials as they have various operational benefits. These equipment are useful in performing various tasks such as making fine grades, smooth surfaces, setting native soil foundation pads, shifting small amounts of dirt, and leveling soil or ground. Due to these benefits they are believed to increase the sales of motor graders in the coming years.
Raw materials of motor graders comprise bronze, iron ore, stainless steel, and other metal alloys. The fluctuating prices of these raw materials are causing hindrance in among manufacturers for the production of motor graders, thereby limiting the growth of the motor graders market. Apart from this, high initial investment and purchasing cost of motor graders is expected to hamper its adoption rate among small scale end-users and as a result this is expected to restrict the growth of the market in the future.
These graders come in different shapes and sizes; but they all are having same details and configuration. Generally, all grader models come with a long blade that is positioned between the back and front wheels. This long blade is usually made from stainless steel and is known as “grader.” these blades can be controlled mechanically or hydraulically. Modern graders come with a blade that can be extended from one side to another. The blade can also be raised or lowered depending on the application. One big advantage is the fact that the graders can be used with different attachments to complete different construction or mining tasks. A wide range of attachments converts the grader into an extremely versatile machine, capable of performing and doing different tasks on job sites.
Although most grader models are used for roadwork applications, some graders can be used for digging deep holes and even for rough grading. But, there is a difference between rough and fine grading. Fine grading is when the graders create a smooth and fine surface where the asphalt is placed. Rough grading on the other hand is performed by heavy construction vehicles like bulldozers and scrapers. Although these machines look like graders, they are completely different machines and are used for different applications. Nowadays, modern graders blade are designed to be used for more difficult and delicate tasks. They are described as more flexible and versatile than the previous models. Construction and mining companies are discovering that the grader can be used as versatile construction or mining machinery to perform different tasks. New grader models in the market are also being developed with more advanced control units for enhanced efficiency.
