Her are some pictures of one of our new 16M Graders. We have @ 25 Graders in our fleet, mainly 16G, 16H & now 16M's.
Our operators love them. It doesn't take long to master the controls.
They certainly look the part. If they as reliable as the old G & H series they will be a good thing.
I must say they sure come with a good lighting package, good for doing that final trim in the dark!

A few pictures of another new 16M in our fleet.
This one has an amazing lighting package for the 24hr/7day operation where it is working.

Re: M Series Down Under
Great pictures as always, Gary, Thanks for posting. Is the red cylinder on the right rear of the machine an (automatic) fire extinguisher ?

Re: M Series Down Under
Hi John,
thanks for the reply. Yes, the red cylinder is part of an automatic fire suppression system. This is the first time we have fitted a system to a grader; part of the site regulation where it is working.
Virtually all of our other equipment has one of these systems fitted. A "fire wire" runs throughout the machine and sets off the system automatically in the event of a fire, dousing the machine in foam. A manual switch is also fitted enabling the operator to set the system off from inside the cab.

Some shots of one of our 140M graders at work.
A good sized versatile unit. The operatiors love them.
