Elevating scrapers gather earth using an elevator that functions like a chain to raise the earth for redistribution. A bowl scraper gathers earth using a cutting edge that is lowered into the ground while scraping until such time that the bowl is full and contents can then be redistributed. Some scrapers are used in tandem and may require bulldozers to mobilize them.
