 Types of Scrapers
• Single-Engine Wheeled Scrapers
• Dual-Engine Wheeled Scrapers
• Elevating Scrapers
• Pull-Type Scrapers
 Single-Engine Wheeled
Scrapers
• the most common type of scraper
• It consists of a bowl, an apron that is drops
over a load of earth for transport
• an ejector that relies on hydraulics to get
rid of a load
 Dual-Engine Wheeled
Scrapers
• hauling earth for a short distance
• two engines
• highly effective for short hauls and narrow
cut-and-fill areas
 Elevating Scrapers
• An apron like other scrapers
• Use as an elevator that is either
hydraulically or electrically driven
• Elevator capable of being reversed to
help evenly and completely finish an
offload
 Pull-Type Scrapers
•Not motorized
•Being more capable of operating in wet,
soft and sandy conditions.
•Easier to keep from getting stuck in
messy terrain
•Useful in rainy climates and springtime
weather
Safety Procedures and Practices
• Never operates a scraper at speeds that are
unsafe, especially with full pans
• Always wear a safety belt. Uneven terains may
cause a scraper to tilt
• Be sure that communication between ground
employees is clear and evident
• Proper Maintenance and daily checks ensure
safe operating conditions
 Safety Procedures and
Practices
• Only trained employees should operate
and work near scrapers
• Be sure that proper brakes and ropes are
all in working order
• Do not operate scrapers on unsafe slopes
