Abstract
A scraper having a frame with a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame, a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket and a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket. Wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall. Further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls.
Claims20
A scraper, comprising:
- a frame, comprising:
- a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame through a first bracket;
- a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame through a second bracket;
- a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising;
- a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket;
- and
- a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket;
- wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall;
- further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls;
- further wherein, a gate pivot cutout is defined in each of the first and second brackets about a gate pivot, wherein the first and second brackets are coupled to the corresponding portions of the frame without interfering with pivotal movement of a tae lift assembly.
A scraper, comprising:
- a frame, comprising:
- a first removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame through a first bracket;
- a second removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame through a second bracket;
- a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising;
- a first rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket;
- and
- a second rear sidewall positioned on a second side of the rear bucket;
- wherein, the first removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the first rear sidewall and the second removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the second rear sidewall;
- further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the first and second removable sidewalls move relative to the surface of the corresponding first and second rear sidewalls;
- further wherein, a bucket pivot cutout is defined in each of the first and second bracket about a bucket axis, wherein the bucket pivot cutout has a profile that corresponds with a bucket finger to allow the bucket finger to transition between the carry position and the dump position without substantially contacting the bracket.
A scraper, comprising:
- a frame comprising at least one removable sidewall removably coupled to the frame through a bracket;
- a rear bucket pivotally coupled to the frame and having a dump position and a carry position, the rear bucket comprising at least one rear sidewall positioned on a first side of the rear bucket;
- wherein, the at least one removable sidewall is positioned adjacent to the at least one rear sidewall;
- further wherein, as the rear bucket transitions between the carry position and the dump position, the at least one removable sidewalls moves relative to the surface of the at least one rear sidewalls;
- further wherein, a gate pivot cutout is defined in the brackets about a gate pivot, wherein the bracket is coupled to the corresponding portions of the frame without interfering with pivotal movement of a gate lift assembly.
