What is an Articulated Truck?
An Articulated Dump Truck is the most common dump/haul truck you will see on a civil or mining site. They are purpose built trucks that are able to go over rough terrain to get the job done. The vehicle usually has all-wheel drive and consists of two basic units: the front section, generally called the tractor, and the rear section that contains the dump body, called the hauler or trailer section.It is important to follow all appropriate procedures and guidelines when operating an Articulated truck. This will ensure the belly dump is operated within applicable guidelines and that work is conducted in a safe manner.Course Overview

What is a Scraper?
A scraper is a piece of heavy equipment used for earthmoving. There are two main types of scrapers - elevated scrapers and open bowl scrapers.Elevated Scrapers
Elevated scrapers are self-propelled, articulated wheeled vehicles. They have a prime mover for control and sliding floor bowl. The bowl has an elevator shaft which helps to load and unload the scraper. On most scrapers the elevator is hydraulically driven but some models have a separate power source.Open Bowl Scrapers
Open bowl scrapers are self-propelled, articulated wheeled vehicles. They have a prime mover for power and control and a sliding floor bowl.Standard open bowl scrapers require the assistance of a push dozer or a tandem motor (one engine drives the front wheels, while the other drives the rear wheels) to give additional power for the scraper operations. On dual powered scrapers the tractor engine should be started first.Standard open bowl scrapers are regularly used in a 'push-pull' arrangement. This is where two or more scrapers are attached together to provide additional power. Operators may need to be familiar with tasks such as coupling, disengaging ad operating in conjunction with another unit.Some open bowl scrapers are fitted with an auger attachment in the bowl to provide self-loading capability.Scraper Operations covers conducting scraper operations in the civil construction industry. It includes: planning and preparing; conducting machine pre-operational checks; operating the machine; selecting, removing and fitting attachments; relocating the machine; carrying out machine operator maintenance; and cleaning up.Course Duration
