Twin-Powered Self-Loading Scrapers

Twin-powered self-loading scrapers are relatively new in the construction equipment field. The high horsepower to weight ratios coupled with all-wheel drive give two axle scrapers excellent performance in the cut, on the haul road, and in the fill area. Self-loading is accomplished with heavy-duty elevator systems. Loading time and distance is less than that experienced with single engine elevating scrapers. This type of equipment, in the 20 and 30 yd³ class, is geared to handle a wide variety of construction and mining production jobs and has long since graduated from the “cleanup tool” and “potato dirt” type equipment.
