The Caterpillar 12H is a motor grader designed for road construction, maintenance, and grading applications.

It typically features a front-mounted moldboard, articulated frame, and rear tandem drive for controlled blade positioning and traction. The 12H is commonly used in mining, municipal, and construction fleets.
