Snow/Ice Removal - How do you do it?

I saw something that looked real similar to this at the Wally-world DC in E. Stroudsburg, PA a few years back (like back when I was still driving, haha). Looked like it would work real good. I'm OUT!

 

You welcome, glad I could help a bit.

Hey, did you know that the Inuit (Eskimos) have around 40 words for snow....... and they all translate to "That ####ing White Stuff".

 

That's what entrance ramps to the BIG ROAD are for!

 

well there isnt no way of really doing it i wouldnt think. you just get your ### up on top of the wagon with a shovel and broom and go to work.

 

Right! You're going to get 13' 4" off of the ground on snow and ice? On a trailer roof that isn't stressed for you're weight?? I'd say you'd be heading for workmen's comp and a life in a wheelchair real quick.

 

Also clearing ice/snow for safety reasons...
But how to do it is beyond me....
This happened to me last week in Kansas...

Still truck was not damaged, hit windsheild & hood.
Had to add soundtrack to cover up the obcenities as it happened... lol

 

seems like this may be something to take to the truck manufactuer?!

 

Im thinking that fiberglass may have had a small crack in the first place. I'd just replace the whole thing. I've never driven a truck with a fiberglass roof either

 

In late January, 2011, thirty one state trucking associations asked Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and National Highway Safety Administration to look into the safety issues presented by ice and snow blowing off motor vehicles. Three states, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut have already passed laws imposing fines for not removing snow or ice from a car or truck. The associations pointed out that it is a safety issue but not one that can be solved by truckers. They asked the two agencies to work with truckers, automotive engineers and car and truck manufacturers to develop solutions. These most likely would be vehicle specific, designed into the vehicle, in ways that would prohibit the accumulation of snow or ice or a mechanism to remove it. We need to be supportive of this effort. Much like ICC bars and conspicuity tape on the sides of trailers, standards for snow and ice eliminators need to be established on the national level.
