As a professional, i know one of the usefulness of a grader when it comes to civil engineering tasks especially in road construction but i know someone out there may want to know the usefulness of a grader or the proper definition of a grader and it is for such persons that i am making this post today.
What is a grader?
Well, to put this in a more simpler term, a grader is simply one of the construction machines having a very long blade located between the front and rear wheels and with this blade, it creates flat surfaces.
What Are The Uses of a grader?
A Grader as a civil engineering machine is most commonly used in road construction. It plays a vital role in levelling of earth materials, stone base and other layers of the road.
Another important use of the grader is that it us used during the maintenenace of roads especially dirt and gravel roads.
The usefulness of a grader does not only come during the maintenance of dirt and gravel roads only. This is because graders are also used to prepare the Base course during road construction.
Briefly Describe a Grader.
A Grader is of different types, some consist of a large fork front while other consist of a flat blad front. Graders also vary in sizes.
A Typical Grader is usually a three axle equipment with engine and cab situated at the top.

A graded road is usually done using a grader equipment usually called grader caterpillar.
The blade of a grader is usually used to push earth materials off in order to be able to come up with a very flat surface during road construction.
