TrucBrush released its TrucBrush SD-19 for lowboy and flatbed clearing of accumulated snow, which improves safety by eliminating the need for employees to manually clear snow from the top of a truck or trailer.
This, in turn, reduces risk of the following hazards, according to the company:
- Risk of dislodging and jeopardizing other road users’ safety
- Risk of damaging trailer vehicle components
- Additional weight that could cause roadway violations
- Risk of musculoskeletal injuries with manually clearing
- Reduction in productivity due to clearing time
TrucBrush easily attaches to and is powered by a front-end loader, making the service very mobile and easily outsourceable to a snow service contractor who can buy or rent TrucBrush from an authorized TrucBrush dealer. This new work tool allows snow service contractors to grow their businesses by providing a new service.
TrucBrush requires no fixed structure or expensive capital improvements. It improves operational efficiency by clearing accumulated snow and icy debris from the truck, bus or container’s rooftop in approximately 30 seconds. It's flexible and allows facilities with multiheight vehicles to clear snow without stopping for height adjustments for faster deployment.
Finally, TrucBrush increases roadway safety and allows companies to meet state and provincial transportation regulations and OSHA/CCOHS guidelines.
