What is the name of the machine that scoops? The machine that scoops is typically called an "excavator" or "digger", depending on the context. Excavators are commonly used in construction, mining, and earth-moving for scooping dirt, rocks, and debris. There are also smaller versions like "skid-steer loaders" or "backhoes", which can scoop materials as well.

　　The machine commonly referred to as a "scoop" depends on its application:

　　1. Excavator: Heavy machinery with a bucket attachment for digging and scooping earth.

　　2. Front-End Loader (or Loader): A tractor with a front-mounted bucket used to scoop materials like soil, gravel, or debris.

　　3. Power Shovel: A large machine for mining or excavation that scoops bulk materials.

　　4. LHD (Load-Haul-Dump) Machine: Used in mining to scoop and transport ore.

　　5. Dredger: Equipped with a scooping mechanism to remove sediment from waterways.

　　In casual contexts, "loader" or "excavator" are the most common answers.
