The first reversible grader blade with hydraulic wings, it’s clear that innovation drives the revolutionary SharpGrade Grader Blade series. As some of the most advanced grader blades on the market, the range of SharpGrade grader blade models is suited to all types of applications, including road maintenance, grading surfaces and getting that perfect level finish on any material. Promising ease of use, durability and precision, there are many reasons to choose SharpGrade for your next project.
In this article, we’ll explore the SharpGrade Grader Blade in more detail, including the different models available and all the reasons why this is one of the leading grader blades on the market.
What is the SharpGrade grader blade?
The SharpGrade grader blade is an advanced grading tool that enables you to accurately level to within less than 1/8″ (3mm). Using a SharpGrade Grader Blade is up to ten times faster than levelling using a skid steer with standard bucket attachment. Importantly, it includes reversible blades and hydraulic wings for increased efficiency and versatility. Essentially, the SharpGrade grader blade reduces the time and effort required to achieve precise results for even the most complex grading jobs.
The grader blade is primarily designed to operate on a skid steer loader or track loader. The SharpGrade Grader Blade is the pioneering box blade that can work in forward and reverse, for improved efficiency. Twin pivoting blades give the ability to cut, carry, trim, spread and finish in one pass, in either direction, for speed and control.Ultimately, the Sharpgrade grader blade delivers precision results faster, and with less manual effort from operators, improving productivity and accuracy for all construction jobs.
Key models and specifications
There are currently two SharpGrade grader blade models available, with each being suited to particular types of projects. Let’s explore the models in more detail.
SharpGrade G128: This larger model comes with a 3.25m reversible blade and hydraulic side wings. It is more suited to machines in the 90-120HP range, with the longer blade making it ideal for large-scale projects that still require precision grading.
SharpGrade G116: A slightly smaller blade at 2.95m, the G116 still offers exceptional precision, reversible blade and hydraulic side wings. Suited to smaller or medium-sized projects, operators can expect excellent control and accuracy.
The key feature of both is the fact that the blade is reversible, allowing for grading in both directions. The hydraulic side wings allow for greater control and precision, which becomes even more advanced when linked with the QuadGrade Pro control system.
Enhanced precision and performance
Precision is everything in grading, so there is no doubt that SharpGrade’s accuracy is one of its most appealing features. The patented QuadRod™ linkage system ensures premium accuracy, with joints lifetime sealed and maintenance-free. QuadRod™ also keeps the blade parallel to maintain equal height between the front and rear blades, further improving accuracy.
With no centre pivot, operators can achieve precision grading three times faster than with regular graders. Plus, the blade responds quickly to operator inputs, offering greater control and more precise grading. Overall, this high-performance system saves time on large construction projects without compromising on grading accuracy.
Link with the QuadGrade Pro control system
For operators skilled in the use of 2D grading control systems, you’ll love the integration of the QuadGrade Pro 2 program. With wireless Bluetooth control, operators can adjust blade settings in real-time and gain even further accuracy. Being able to use a control system makes grading easier, but it also improves the consistency of grading across all projects. Real-time monitoring of performance leads to more precise results, and QuadGrade is designed specifically for SharpGrade products.
QuadGrade integrates easily, and its user interface is particularly easy to use. Even if your graders have never used 2D control systems before, QuadGrade is easy to learn and use, so you can start achieving faster and more accurate grading in no time.
Durability
Conditions in the Australian construction industry can be harsh, with difficult terrain and climates often complicating the grading process. The SharpGrade grader blade is built with premium, heavy-duty materials to ensure reliability even in harsh conditions. Bearings are all lifetime-lubricated and sealed, as are the QuadRod bearings, meaning they require no maintenance at all.
Grader blades have to be strong, sturdy and reliable to maintain precise grading, and that’s exactly what you get with SharpGrade. Even the wheel bearings on the tyres are sealed to keep dirt out. Basically, they’ve thought of everything to make Sharpgrade the most durable, long-lasting and precise grader blade available.
