10 Forgotten Road Graders That Were Brilliant

From 200,000-pound mining monsters to twin-engine graders with rotating cabs, these machines pushed engineering far beyond anything most people thought possible. Companies like Galion, Champion, Austin-Western, WABCO, and Allis-Chalmers built some of the most advanced and powerful road graders ever created — machines designed to level highways, maintain giant mine roads, and reshape entire landscapes. But despite their brilliance, most disappeared through mergers, bankruptcies, and corporate buyouts. Today, these forgotten giants survive only in scrapyards, museums, and the memories of the operators who ran them. In this video, we bring back 10 legendary road graders that changed construction history forever. COPYRIGHT DISCLAIMER Supreme Machines does not fully own the material compiled in this video.
