K-Tec’s Telematic system beams key earthmoving performance indicators from the jobsite to the cloud, for a software dashboard accessible to contractors for assessing the information needed to make the smartest business decisions for a Massive Advantage in earthmoving.

K-Tec has designed and developed a new Ejector Box for Volvo A40 & A45 Articulated Dump Trucks. K-Tec’s EJB 4X model ejector box has a payload capacity of 42 US Short Tons / 30.7yd³ (38.2 tonnes, 23.5m³) and fits on Volvo A40 & A45 ADTs.

K-Tec’s newest & innovative earthmoving scrapers and accessories on display at Conexpo – Con/Agg 2020 outdoor Festival Grounds in booth #F2932. Booth attendees will enjoy a fully immersive earthmoving experience at K-Tec’s 10,000 ft² (929 m²) space.

K-Tec's new remote jobsite parts box consists of all the necessary scraper consumable parts including cutting edges, bushings, & pins. The box also houses other key components that could cause a scraper to have immediate downtime, such as cylinders. Contractors may also order an optional variety of tools for the set-up and installation of new scrapers on the jobsite.

K-Tec is revealing a revolutionary scraper at this year’s CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2020 in Las Vegas, NV. K-Tec decided to include numerous radical design features in this model. K-Tec’s debut of its Concept Scraper 1030 model has a narrow under 12’ (3.63m) wide frame, and the ability to carry 30 cubic yard (23m³) heaped capacity. The concept machine features innovations such as a responsive power-beyond hydraulics, roller-push block, direct train hitch, hidden hose routing inside the sidewalls, and a curved ejector face. K-Tec will look for feedback from contractors on the concept scraper.

Graders and scrapers play the key role in concrete road building. “Large road projects like interstate highway expansions and turnpike corridors are of vital infrastructure importance. Often these projects require millions of cubic yards of material to be moved, with timelines being expedited to under seven months of construction work from start to finish to mitigate traffic constraints and delays,” says Shane Kroeker, spokesperson for K-Tec Earthmovers.

SMT GB has been appointed as the official distributor for K-Tec articulated hauler scraper boxes on mainland Great Britain. SMT GB will now be responsible for the sales and after-market support for the K-Tec range of articulated dump truck scrapers boxes in their territory.

K-Tec Earthmovers Inc. announced the winners of its Dealers of Excellence awards. The awards recognize the highest performing worldwide K-Tec scraper dealers & distributors in business development, product support, and customer service.

The ADT and K-Tec Scraper pairing is a much more “green” and fuel efficient solution for the jobsites and mines. Studies have shown a reduction in the carbon footprint of up to 2.5 Times compared to older traditional equipment.
