In civil engineering, a wheel tractor-scraper (also known as a belly scraper) is a form of heavy equipment used for earthmoving. Its rear bed has a vertically moveable hopper with a sharp horizontal front edge that cuts into the soil like a carpenter’s plane and fills the hopper. When full the hopper is raised, closed, and the scraper transports its load to the fill area for dumping.

The Diecast Masters replica is of a Caterpillar 627G Wheel Tractor-Scraper.  The 627G is an open bowl scraper and was introduced in 2000.
