At Purple Wave auctions, you can find a variety of Caterpillar scrapers, including popular models like the 627K, 621G, 623F, and 615C Series II. These range from conventional scrapers to elevating scrapers, catering to different earthmoving needs.

Purple Wave provides detailed information about each Caterpillar scraper, including hours, serial numbers, engine specifications, and known repair histories. We also offer open inspections for many items, allowing buyers to examine the equipment before bidding.

Key factors to consider include the machine's hours, engine condition, transmission type, bowl capacity, and overall wear. Pay attention to features like cushion hitches, reversible cutting edges, and the condition of major components like engines and hydraulic systems.

Many of our Caterpillar scrapers come with available repair and maintenance records. Look for links to 'View repairs' in the item descriptions, which can provide valuable information about the machine's history and recent work performed.

Conventional scrapers, like the Caterpillar 627 series, use a push-pull method to load material. Elevating scrapers, such as the 613C or 623F models, have a conveyor system that lifts material into the bowl, allowing for more efficient loading in certain soil conditions.

Consider factors like the volume of material to be moved, haul distance, and job site conditions. Bowl capacities in our inventory range from about 11 cubic yards (for models like the 613C) to over 24 cubic yards (for larger models like the 627K), allowing you to match the scraper to your specific needs.

Caterpillar scrapers are known for their versatility, efficiency in cut-and-fill operations, and ability to self-load and haul material over long distances. They can often replace multiple pieces of equipment, streamlining earthmoving operations and potentially reducing overall project costs.

Due to their size and weight, Caterpillar scrapers often require special transportation arrangements. Purple Wave offers shipping estimates through Purple Wave Shipping, LLC for many items. Be sure to check local regulations regarding oversize loads and secure proper permits if needed.

Purple Wave provides detailed equipment information, photos, and often repair histories to help inform your bidding decisions. Our customer service team is available to answer questions about the auction process, and we facilitate equipment inspections when possible to ensure you can bid with confidence.

• Carefully review the hours on both the main and second engines (for dual-engine models like the 627 series) to assess overall usage.
• Inspect the condition of key components such as the bowl, cutting edge, and elevator system (for elevating scrapers like the 623 series).
• Check the transmission type and number of gears (e.g., 8F-1R for larger models, 6F-1R for smaller ones) to ensure it meets your operational needs.
• Verify the presence and functionality of features like cushion hitch, push block, and differential lock, which can significantly impact performance.
• Examine tire condition and size, as replacements for specialized sizes like 33.25R29 can be costly.
