Maximizing earthmoving efficiency on massive jobsites requires getting the work done in fewer passes. For heavy construction and land development crews, the biggest drains on profitability are excessive fuel consumption, high equipment maintenance, and repetitive grading cycles. To solve this, Strobel Manufacturing engineered a powerful tandem system: the Strobel HD20 Heavy Duty Box Scraper and Dual Earth Packer combination. This innovative system cuts, fills, levels, and packs massive swaths of terrain in a single, efficient pass, delivering a drastically lower cost per banked cubic yard.
The Power of the One-Pass Tandem Solution
Traditional earthmoving workflows require an array of single-purpose machines: one to cut the dirt, another to level it, and a heavy roller to compact it. This creates major operational bottlenecks and drives up labor costs.
The Strobel integrated scraper-packer tandem eliminates these extra steps completely. By hooking the 20-foot heavy-duty box scraper directly ahead of the heavy-duty Dual Earth Packers, contractors combine land leveling and high-density compaction into one streamlined operation. You instantly save time, conserve fuel, and drastically reduce the number of operators needed on site.
Built Strobel Strong for Mass Grading Operations
When managing large-scale commercial site preparation, feedlot development, or agricultural land improvement, structural integrity is non-negotiable. As the widest model in its class, the massive HD20 is engineered specifically to withstand punishing industrial conditions.
- Reinforced Structure: Features reinforced, solid-welded sidewalls that prevent bowing and handle high-volume material loads without structural fatigue.
- Frame Integrity: A continuous tongue is welded entirely through the frame directly to the heavy back plate, optimizing pulling power and stabilizing the unit under maximum stress.
- Superior Longevity: Built with anti-rotational, fully greasable pivot points and replaceable high-strength cutting blades to minimize maintenance downtime.
- Folding Tongue and Axles allows for transport without wide load permits.
The Ultimate Weapon for Haul Road Maintenance
Potholes, ruts, and washboarding on heavy construction haul roads cause immediate, costly damage to haul truck suspensions, tires, and cycle times. The HD 20 and Dual Packer combination serves as an elite maintenance solution for high-traffic haul roads.
The massive 20-foot wide cutting blade effortlessly shaves off high spots, drops material into deep ruts, and crowns the road for proper drainage. Immediately behind the blade, the Strobel Earth Packer seals the surface. Armed with hardened Stoodite® teeth arranged in a high-density configuration—providing 30% more hard-surfaced teeth than a standard chevron pattern—the packers deliver exceptional, deep compaction while self-cleaning on every single revolution. The result is a rock-hard, tightly sealed haul road that maximizes haul truck speeds and minimizes tire wear.
High Agility and Permit-Free Transport
Despite its massive working footprint, the Strobel system is uniquely engineered for rapid, hassle-free jobsite transitions. Moving a traditional 20-foot wide piece of equipment normally demands expensive wide-load permits, escort vehicles, and routing restrictions.
Strobel bypasses this regulatory bottleneck entirely with an intelligent, transport-friendly design. The HD20 features a specialized fold-in tongue alongside folding axles. This allows the entire configuration to fold down into a compact profile, enabling legal road transport between jobsites without wide-load permits. On the job, this same axle and tongue geometry grants operators increased agility, allowing for tight, nimble turns in confined spaces that traditional scrapers simply cannot match.
Lower Capital Investment, Better Bottom Line
Investing in self-propelled scrapers and dedicated motor graders requires immense capital expenditure (CAP) and steep ongoing maintenance costs. The pull-type Strobel HD20 and Dual Packer system optimizes your existing tractor fleet, turning a high-horsepower tractor into a high-production mass grading and compaction machine. With lower upfront costs, fewer engines to service, and fewer wear parts to replace, the Strobel system keeps your operation highly competitive and exceptionally profitable.
