As their name suggests, scrapers or wheel tractor scrapers are used for scraping and leveling surfaces. They are constructed to be able to dig into the ground and haul heavy loads of dirt, gravel and rock across job sites or even between multiple areas. They’re useful for any project involved with transporting media. While they are generally smaller than dump trucks and trailers, and thus carry smaller loads, scrapers are more time-efficient, as they can load, haul and dump faster.
