PICKING UP WINDROWS
1.
Introduction.
a.
When working with other construction equipment, the scraper should NOT be used as a dump truck.
NOTE
A windrow is a row of excess material that must be removed. Typically, a dozer or motor grader creates the
windrow, pushes it off to the side, and leaves it, to be loaded into a dump truck by a wheel loader.
b.
Instead of bucket loading with an excavator, wheel loader or dozer, use these machines to create a windrow. Then use
scraper to pick up the windrow.
