How Graders are used in Construction and Mining

The grader, also known as motor grader or road grader, is described as heavy-duty machine designed with a long blade that is used in different industry sectors. Graders are most commonly used in civil construction, roadworks and on mining sites for creating smooth and flat surfaces. 

Certain graders can operate multiple attachments, or be designed for specialized tasks like underground mining. In civil engineering, the grader's purpose is to "finish grade" (to refine or set precisely).
