The Model F-44 has been tested and proven under the severest conditions by people experienced in the truck scraper field. It has been designed with three aims in mind: first, to provide a strong, rugged piece of equipment that can stand up for many years under the most strenuous treatment; second, to provide a scraper that can be adapted to different makes and types of trucks; and, most importantly, to design a scraper that can be easily serviced and maintained in the field. The F-44 has more than fulfilled these requirements.
