This 2,989-pound scraper rivals other manufacturers' heavier machines. Different from scrapers that are powered using a hydrostat driver system, the 8000 offers the speed and power of propane while also combining patented carbide angle-shank technology with the added efficiency of dual-lift hydraulic slide plates. Consistent torque sets the operational standard for high removal rates, and each machine undergoes a rigorous quality assurance program including emissions certification.

Features

Additional Features

This scraper comes standard with National's 6700 series dual lift hydraulic slide plate; allowing the operator to make angle adjustments on the fly. The dual hydraulic hand controls promote operator flexibility while simultaneously adjusting the slide plate height and the angle adjustment of the cutting head blade. These combined features extend the blade life and offer up to 25% more productivity. The hydraulic lift plate provides an additional 200 pounds of front weight, increasing down pressure on the cutting head.
The adjustable slide plate affords maximum versatility in blade settings. Operating in conjunction with the adjustable slide plate, the swivel head action of the blade holder assures the scraper continuous blade contact with the floor.
Different from scrapers that are powered using a hydrostat drive system, National's 8000 benefits from both the speed and power of a hydraulic drive. This hydraulic design provides the scraper with consistent and continuous torque resulting in more productivity and higher removal rates.
The 25 HP, liquid cooled Kawasaki engine, is re-engineered with National's exclusive catalytic design; granting the lowest emissions in the industry. Each machine is individually load tested for emission certification and submitted through a rigorous quality assurance program.
The ergonomic design is comprised of an adjustable driver’s seat, moveable foot pegs and an adjustable slide plate; this corrects the operator’s seat position to provide optimal comfort and line of sight.
For safety, the scraper is equipped with an automatic kill switch. It will not function without a person in the operator seat.
The precise hydraulic steering system enables tight maneuvering and a zero turn radius.
Equipped with non-marking tires.
