Motor scraper
Definition
A heavy, self-propelled earthmoving construction machine equipped with a large bowl and a lower cutting edge, used for digging, loading, transporting, and leveling layers of soil or aggregate over medium distances. Unlike a towed scraper, the motor scraper integrates the engine and cabin directly onto the machine's chassis, offering higher operational autonomy and maximum efficiency in major earthworks or highway construction.
