Westwind announces the purchase of two NEW Caterpillar 12M Motor Graders.

These additions to the Company's expansive fleet feature a number of revolutionary concepts in motor grader design - most notably a pair of joysticks replacing as many as 15 levers and a steering wheel. The many control inputs required and the precision work performed by motor graders have these earthmoving machines widely regarded as the most difficult of all to operate. Caterpillar designed the M-Series joystick control system to make the motor grader easier to learn and less tiring to operate. The new M-Series joystick-operated electro-hydraulic control system simplifies motor grader control and reduces operator arm and hand movements by as much as 78 percent. This will ensure continued accuracy and excellence in the Company's work.
