Applications Across Industries
Scrapers are versatile machines used to move large quantities of material. They provide ample self-load capabilities, scrape and level surfaces, and haul materials from one jobsite to another. These machines are usually towed by a tractor and can be single-engine, dual-engine, elevating, and pull-type.
Scrapers are used for a wide variety of earthmoving applications, including:
- Construction: Scrapers are used for excavating large areas, moving materials, grading, and leveling surfaces.
- Landscaping: Tractor scrapers are used for grading, leveling, backfilling, land clearing, and preparing seed beds.
- Agriculture: Scrapers are key for land preparation and soil management. These machines level the ground, remove debris, and redistribute soil.
- Mining: Surface mining operations rely on scrapers to remove overburden and haul mined materials to processing plants.
