CONT

Scraper automoteur (...). L'engin type se compose d'un tracteur à selle sur un ou deux essieux à pneus, avec système de remorque genre col de cygne (...) La benne scraper est montée sur train arrière (...)

OBS

L'emploi des équivalents décapeuse automotrice à deux essieux et scraper automoteur à deux essieux serait plus précis par rapport à l'anglais; cependant, ces emplois ne sont pas attestés. L'Académie française, la Revue générale des routes et des aérodromes et le Service linguistique de la Société d'énergie de la Baie James recommandent décapeuse pour scraper.
