The 1232 ADT scraper offers a heaped capacity of 32 cubic yards and requires a minimum of 350 horsepower. The 32,200-pound unit is engineered to support haul road speeds reaching 35 mph.
The players
K-Tec
K-Tec is an equipment manufacturer specializing in high-performance earthmoving scrapers and dump truck attachments.
The details
The scraper utilizes Hardox and Weldox steel for durability while incorporating slider blocks instead of ejector rollers to extend wear life. Designed for 30- to 45-ton articulated dump truck chassis, the system features a bolt-together modular build and contains only five grease points.
Timeline
1,898 new financed ADTs were sold across the U.S. during 2025.
The 1232 ADT scraper was unveiled at ConExpo in 2026.
The product is scheduled to become available for purchase in 2027.
Roadmap
This release marks a shift toward modular construction in heavy equipment to improve fleet compatibility and reduce mechanical downtime. It positions K-Tec to capture more value within the 30- to 45-ton articulated dump truck market.
Operators can expect reduced maintenance intervals due to the inclusion of grease-less bushings and a simplified five-point grease system. The bolt-together modular design allows for faster field repairs, minimizing the time equipment remains offline.
The takeaway
Fleet managers looking to optimize earthmoving operations should evaluate the maintenance savings provided by the 1232 ADT modular architecture. Integrating higher-capacity units can help streamline hauling logistics for large-scale construction projects.
