Slip scraper, or Pan Scraper: The scraper is named from its leading edge scraping the ground

to scoop up dirt. The slip scraper, which was pulled by stock, is the oldest and simplest type
of scraper.

Fresno Scraper: Invented in Fresno, California, the Fresno scrapers increased width and
single handle improved on the slip scrapers capacity and efficiency.

Wheeled Scraper: Western Wheeled Scraper Wheeler. The early wheeled scraper further
improved capacity and efficiency by lifting the scraper off the ground and carrying it under
an axle.

Rotary Scraper, or Tumblebug: This scraper slid on the ground, flipped over to dump its load,
and was controlled by a rope handled by the operator of the tractor that pulled it.

Mechanized Wheeled Scraper: c. 1929 Baker Maney D. Developed in the 1910s, these
scrapers were designed for use behind tractors, one to six scrapers per tractor. Capacity was
about one cubic yard.

Rubber-tired Pull Scraper: In 1932, R. G. LeTourneau developed the first scraper on rubber
tires. It powered by cable from the tractor that pulled it. These improvements became the
industry standard.

Hydraulic Pull Scraper: 1958 Cat 463. As cable operation of equipment became obsolete in
the 1970s, some cable-operated pull scrapers were converted to all-hydraulic control.

Motor Scraper: 1940s LeTourneau Super C Tournapull and Carryall. Another of

LeTourneaus standard-setting inventions was the rubber-tired prime mover to pull his
Carryall scrapers at higher speeds.

Motor Scraper: Euclid TS14. Scrapers often need a push from a tractor when loading. Adding
a second engine in the back to power the scrapers axle makes this unnecessary in most cases.

Motor Scraper: 1959 Cat DW20. From the 1940s through 1970s, many scrapers were pulled
by two-axle wheel tractors. These scrapers could carry larger loads at higher speeds, but were
less maneuverable.

Elevating scraper: c. 1962 Hancock 4R2. An elevating scraper loads itself by sweeping dirt
into the bowl by means of slats on a moving chain conveyor at the front of the bowl.

Elevating scraper: Cat 623F. The first elevating scrapers were used in agriculture behind farm
tractors. In the 1960s, they began resembling motor scrapers and came into wide use in
construction.
