New tire options are now used for shipping the machines listed above. Caterpillar will discontinue shipping certain Motor-Graders with wooden or basic tires. Instead, these machines will be equipped with a more disposable rubber option. Rubber shipping tires will also improve machine operation while loading and unloading.
