This Caterpillar 623F is a motor scraper — sometimes referred to as a self-propelled scraper or a push-pull scraper — a type of earthmoving machine designed to cut, load, haul, and spread large volumes of material in a single pass, making it a core piece of equipment on grading, road-building, and large-scale earthworks projects. Caterpillar is one of the world's best-known manufacturers of heavy construction and mining equipment, with a long-established reputation for building durable earthmoving, lifting, and paving machinery across the construction, infrastructure, and resource extraction industries.
This 1996 machine is offered used from Kansas, USA, and the hour meter reads 3,273 hours. The transmission is a powershift unit with eight forward gears and one reverse, providing a wide range of working and travel speeds to match varying haul distances and ground conditions.
The scraper is equipped with an elevator, which actively loads material into the bowl without requiring a push tractor, and the elevator reverse function allows the direction of the elevator to be switched — useful for clearing blockages or handling sticky soils. Scraper and hydraulic lift functions are controlled via lever controls, giving the operator direct mechanical feel over bowl positioning and cutting edge depth.
Braking is handled by an air brake system, and the cab is fitted with both air conditioning and heat, supporting operator comfort across the range of climates typical to Kansas and the wider Great Plains region. A rear push block is fitted, allowing a push tractor or another scraper to assist during loading when conditions demand it.
The machine runs on 29.5-35 tires, a large-section flotation size suited to the demands of open earthworks sites. The asking price is $179,000.
