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.

Earthworks Solutions visited an Australian customer who operates the New Holland T9.670 tractor to pull a 28 cu.yd. K-Tec 1228 scraper, which it fills in no more than 30 seconds. Its fuel consumption is impressive at only 37L/hour.  “The T9.670 is moving twice as much dirt in roughly the same time while using less fuel so we also settled on the T9.670 to look at the option of towing a second K-Tec 1228 scraper in tandem."
