The construction industry has a significant reliance on various types of heavy duty equipment. Some of these equipment include Bulldozer, Wheel Dozer, Articulating Dump Truck, Dragline, Drills, Rollers, Cable Tractors, Loaders, Scrapers, Electric Shovels and Cranes.
When talking about Scrapers, they are large equipment widely used in mining, agriculture, construction and other earthmoving applications. The rear part of a scraper attaches to a vertically moveable hopper which has a horizontal front edge. The hopper is hydraulically lowered or raised from the front cabin. The hopper is lowered to fill soil, clay or debris. When the hopper is raised, the vertical blade or apron closes it to hold the material. Scrapers come in various configurations. Below are some types of scrapers:
Open bowl: They are the most commonly used scrapers that require a push cat to assist in loading.
Elevating scraper: Also known as self-loading scrapers, they use an elevator to load materials.
Tandem scrapers: they are designed to provide better traction in steep or slippery areas. They also require a push cat to load materials.
Auger: These scrapers use a vertically mounted auger in the bowl to pull material upward
If you are engaged in the construction, agriculture or mining business, you must be looking for a company that offers caterpillar scrapers for sale. Don’t go anywhere to buy them because they are available online.
