TRACTOR SCRAPER TANKER
TRACTOR SCRAPER TANKER
If you have a tractor scraper just sitting around collecting dust, we’ll help you put it to better use. Klein Products pioneered the idea of converting tractor scrapers to tractor-pulled water tankers — and our innovative Tractor Scraper Tanker is now recognized as the superior product in its class by mining and construction companies worldwide.
Our Tractor Scraper Tankers utilize the existing power unit and back end of your scraper, but the scraper bowl is replaced with a tanker, creating a high-quality water distribution machine that delivers the proven value Klein Products is known for. No matter what type of tractor scraper you have, we can convert it for you or ship you a kit to do it yourself.
- Patented TRAP tank shape (a Klein Products innovation) for improved capacity, durability and weight distribution. Enhanced safety through a lower center of gravity and increased visibility.
- Built with custom Klein Products components developed to address the specific challenges of water distribution in heavy construction and mining environments
- Available for all brands and sizes of tractor scrapers
- Order as a kit or have Klein Products perform the full installation

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a tractor scraper tanker conversion?
A tractor scraper tanker conversion transforms an existing tractor scraper into a water distribution unit. Instead of sitting idle or being used only for earthmoving, the machine can be repurposed to support dust control, soil conditioning, and compaction.
Why convert a scraper instead of buying a new water truck?
Converting an existing scraper allows you to utilize equipment you already own, reducing capital costs while adding versatility to your fleet. It is a practical solution for increasing water capacity without investing in a completely new unit.
What types of scrapers can be converted into tankers?
Many common scraper models can be converted, depending on their condition, configuration, and intended use. The best candidates are machines that are structurally sound and can support the added water load.
How does a converted scraper tanker perform compared to a dedicated unit?
A properly designed conversion can deliver strong performance in off-highway environments, especially when matched with the right tank, pump, and spray system. While purpose-built units may offer certain advantages, conversions are often more than capable for most job site applications.
What is included in a scraper tanker conversion?
A typical conversion includes the tank, mounting system, plumbing, pump package, and spray components. Each system is configured to match the scraper and the intended application.
How long does a conversion take?
Timing depends on the scope of the project and the specific configuration. Once the scraper is evaluated, a more accurate timeline can be provided based on the required components and build process.
What should I consider before converting a scraper?
Key considerations include the condition of the machine, weight capacity, job site requirements, and how the unit will be used. Evaluating these factors helps determine if a conversion is the right solution for your operation.
How does a scraper tanker conversion improve job site efficiency?
By adding water delivery capability to existing equipment, you can reduce reliance on additional trucks and keep water closer to the work area. This helps minimize downtime and supports continuous operation.
What impacts the performance of a converted scraper tanker?
Performance depends on tank capacity, pump output, and how water is applied. A properly configured system ensures reliable operation and efficient water use.
