CHAMPION MOTOR GRADERS,
DRIVEN BY ATTACHMENTS FOR INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY

A Champion C86 B, All Wheel Drive equipped with a broom, makes it a very versatile machine around the jobsite.

Charlotte, NC - Most people do not think about all the different jobs a motor grader can do. According to Bryan Abernathy, Vice President Sales & Marketing for Champion Motor Graders, “that’s because people think about what graders do in grader type jobs. Over the years, we have developed and engineered a number of attachments that increase the versatility and overall productivity of the of the grader.”

“Our graders allow the operator the opportunity to complete all the operations around the site from initial site clearing to fine grading, compaction and cleanup with a single unit,” said Bryan.

“V” Scarifer
The “V” scarifier mounts to the noseplate of the grader and is ideal for use in loosening hard paced aggregate surfaces.

Side Dozer
The side dozer is used to remove and/or retrieve displaced material under highway guard rails. The side dozer is installed in place of the moldboard and is hydraulically controlled using the standard moldboard controls.

Dozer Blade/Scarifier
This attachment is ideal for back-blading in tight spaces such as alley ways or against walls. It can also be used against walls or to knock down piles of stones or dirt for grading.

Rotary Broom
Used to speed up cleaning of intersections, jobsites and roadways after maintenance. Brooms are available with manually adjustable or hydraulically adjustable broom angle.

Windrow Eliminator
Ideal for gravel road maintenance, the windrow eliminator increases productivity by leveling the windrow created when grading, which eliminates the need for a second pass and reduces the time spent to flag the work zone.

Compaction Roller
A perfect match to the machine that can do it all. The roller, a rear-mounted attachment, allows the operator to complete the job without having to bring along a special piece of equipment.

Plate Tamper
This unique attachment, rear mounted, minimizes the number of pieces of equipment needed for road maintenance caused by winter freezing or traffic.

Rippifier
Ideal for loosening hard packed aggregate surfaces, this attachment is mounted to the rear frame.

Automatic Blade Control
All Champion Compact Motor Graders can be fitted with various Automatic Blade Control systems, including laser, sonic or slope control models for fine grading applications.
