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. 3, record 1, French, - scraper%20automoteur
