This Caterpillar 615C II is a motor scraper — a self-propelled earthmoving machine designed to cut, carry, and deposit large volumes of material in a single pass, making it a core piece of equipment in road building, grading, and large-scale earthworks. Sometimes referred to simply as a scraper or a pan scraper, this type of machine is valued for its ability to self-load and haul material efficiently across a site without additional loading equipment. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy construction and mining machinery, with a long-established reputation for durable, high-output earthmoving equipment used across construction, infrastructure, and mining industries worldwide.
This 1996 machine was subject to a complete power train and hydraulic rebuild completed in July 2021, representing significant investment in the machine's mechanical foundation. The engine is a Caterpillar C3306T turbocharged unit producing 265 horsepower, paired with a six-speed forward, one-speed reverse powershift transmission. Steering is hydraulic with a torque multiplier, and the front axle features a suspension system. An ether starting aid is fitted.
The scraper bowl has a struck and heaped capacity of 17 cubic yards, with a sliding bowl and cutting edge set to a 16.3-inch cut. Material loading is handled by a two-speed hydraulic elevator. The hydraulic system delivers 36 GPM at standard flow, with high-flow circuits also rated at 36 GPM. An air dryer is included in the hydraulic system.
The cab is fully enclosed with ROPS certification and sound suppression, and is equipped with air conditioning, a heater, and an engine coolant heater with a 120-volt connection. The operator's seat is standard vinyl with a seat belt. An online owner's manual is accessible for this unit.
Tyres are 26.5R25 26-ply and are reported at approximately 50 percent remaining tread life. The machine is located in Colorado, USA, and is offered used, as-is and as-received, priced at $270,000.
