History Lesson: Motor Grader Attachments
Historical Construction Equipment Association
Elevating graders adapted to motor graders in the 1950s, excelling in excavation tasks and material handling with belt improvements.
One advantage of a motor grader/EGA outfit was that it required only one operator. But in some loading situations, a spotter rode out on the parent’s frame to direct hauler traffic, somewhat negating the labor savings. Courtesy: Ulrich Manufacturing Company Form 1231, n. d., HCEA Archives
