Caterpillar 627K Open Bowl Scraper

Scrapers are used to shave off layers of soil, which are then forced into a hopper that can be unloaded in a designated area once full. These machines are commonly used in construction to prepare the ground for building a structure or in mining, farming, and other industries that commonly require removing dirt and other materials and creating flat work surfaces. Whether you go with a motor or pull-type scraper, you typically have the option of using a single scraper or linking several of them together in order to move more earth per pass.

Motor & Pull Scrapers

Motor scrapers, which are sometimes referred to as “wheel tractor-scrapers,” combine the scraper mechanism and the vehicle into a single machine. Older models typically come in an elevating configuration where a paddle wheel and conveyor scrapes the ground and lifts dirt, rocks, and other materials into the bowl. However, most current motor scrapers have hydraulic bowls that further motorize some of that work. There are also push-pull models that allow you to push or pull another scraper.

Pull scrapers (aka "pan scrapers") perform the same work as motorized models but require a separate vehicle, like a tractor, to pull them along the surface. Like motor scrapers, they can be used as a standalone machine or can be linked with other scrapers to cover more ground per pass.

Common Manufacturers

Some of the most popular scraper manufacturers include Ashland, Caterpillar, Deere, K-Tec, Reynolds, Rome, and Terex, just to name a few examples. The most popular models on MarketBook.ca frequently come from Caterpillar’s 613, 621, and 627 model series, as well as from the Deere 862 and K-Tec 1228 product families.
