If you’ve ever seen scrapers in action, you know how fast they can move dirt.
They come in two main varieties: self-propelled and pull-type.
On this episode of The Dirt, we hear about the benefits of pull-type scrapers from K.A. Group, owner of K-Tec, Ashland and Metalcraft brands.
Compared to self-powered scrapers, towable models cost less to purchase, require less maintenance and protect resell value, according to our guest, Shane Kroeker, K.A. Group director of strategic initiatives. They also offer advantages over traditional excavator-haul truck operations you might not have considered.
The K.A. brands offer a variety of sizes of scrapers, from those that can be pushed by compact track loaders to the large models that can be pulled by articulated dump trucks – even towing more than one scraper at a time.
So to find out more about how pull-type scrapers can benefit your earthmoving operations, check out the latest episode of The Dirt.
