K-Tec Earthmovers have released a new 1228ADT scraper model to reach a broader range of earthmoving professionals. The 28-cubic-yard scraper has been one of K-Tec’s most popular models for years, but now K-Tec has enabled a system to mount onto an Articulated Dump Truck (ADT) chassis, in addition to agriculture or construction tractors. Contractors who already have a 25- or 30-ton ADT in their fleet, can easily convert the hauler to pull a K-Tec 1228ADT for a unit that can self-load, transport, and eject material with a single engine running and sole operator.
The operator is able to use responsive joystick control functionality inside the Articulated Dump Truck (ADT). A digital display screen exclusive to K-Tec is also included in the cab for visual operating details, tracking load count productivity, and troubleshoot serviceability. The ability to travel 30+ mph down haul roads improves cycle time performance.
Upon analyzing the ADT marketplace, K-Tec recognized the improve the productivity and versatility of the vast amount of smaller 25- and 30-ton trucks. K-Tec has attached its line of large earthmoving scrapers to 40-ton trucks since 2008, so the use of a smaller scraper on a smaller ADT was a logical move. K-Tec CEO, Russ Goossen says, “We are excited to offer an efficient earthmoving solution for contractors, municipalities, and counties, with smaller jobsite equipment to experience a construction grade K-Tec scraper and its productive benefits.”
K-Tec’s 1228ADT scraper is able to self-load as an efficient single-unit-operation for precision grading and dumping; be push-loaded for enhanced loading time; or be top-loaded via excavator for heaped hauling. K-Tec scrapers are backed by a three-year structural warranty, to minimize downtime for critical jobsite operations.
