Brush retrofit for a snow removal vehicle
A brush retrofit for mounting behind a snow plow blade of a snow removal vehicle is disclosed. The brush retrofit includes a base frame, a stationary brush assembly, a retrofit mount, a brush elevation actuator, and a retrofit mount. The stationary brush assembly is movably mounted to the base frame. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade. The brush elevation actuator when activated, moves the stationary brush assembly relative to the base frame between a raised storage position and a lowered in-use position. The retrofit mount is configured to secure the base frame to a support structure of the snow removal vehicle behind the snow plow blade.
SNOW SHOVEL STRUCTURE OF SNOW PLOW ROBOT
A snow shovel structure of a snow plow robot is provided. The snow shovel structure includes a housing where a snow shovel mechanism is. The snow shovel mechanism extends outside the housing and includes a first motor fixed on a top of the housing. The first motor is fixedly connected with a telescopic rod through an output shaft. A second motor is further provided on a top portion of an inner chamber of the housing, and a horizontal plate is fixedly arranged on a side wall of the inner chamber of the housing.

PLOW GUARD
A steel serrated plow guard with combination carbide insert which can be mounted on most plow blades is provided. The plow guard can be mounted onto most plow blades through the universal mounting elongated slot. The exemplary plow guard for mounting to a snowplow includes a plow guard body, a plow guard wear surface along the plow guard body, at least one enlarged outer edge on the plow guard body, at least one serrated cutting surface attached to the plow guard wear surface, an elongated horizontal slotted punch aperture along the plow guard body, and at least one longitudinal carbide matrix groove.
Multi-use garbage truck
A multi-use garbage truck has an ability to not only to front load containers of garbage into a hopper in a refuse collection body, but also an ability to swap out the forks, if not arm connection assemblies, or even entire frame arms, to be replaced with one of a plurality of attachments which connect to at least one, if not both frame arms with attachments for various uses such as snow plow, leaf blower, street sweeper, bucket, grapple, etc. Furthermore, an ability to independently operate the left frame arm relative to the right frame arm can now be provided so that the left frame arm can utilize and perform one function and the right frame arm provide another or at least be independently operable from one another.
Plow Lift Cushion Assembly
A plow lift cushion assembly can include a housing with a top. The housing can define a chamber. A slider with a sled and a shaft extending from the sled can be included. The sled can be configured to translate within the chamber. The shaft can extend out of the top of the housing and can be configured to be coupled to a plow lift arm. A spring-cushion system can be positioned within the chamber and can extend between the top and the sled. A set of flanges can extend from the housing. The set of flanges can be configured to interface with a set of chains coupled to a plow frame.

SNOW PLOW CUTTING EDGE DEVICE AND CUTTING EDGE ATTACHMENTS
A cutting edge attachment including a blade retainer, springs, and a blade is provided. The blade retainer includes a front plate, a back plate, and bushings insertable through holes defined in the front plate and the back plate. The blade includes elongated openings for receiving the bushings, a top edge having notches for receiving springs, and a bottom edge. The blade retainer is configured to secure the blade to an adapter plate using fasteners inserted through the bushings, the elongated openings of the blade, and holes defined in the adapter plate. The springs are disposed between the notches and a top portion of the blade retainer and configured to bias the blade toward the road surface. The blade is configured to move vertically as the bushings travel within the elongated openings when an upward force is applied to the blade.
Laser light safety guide
The laser light safety guide to assist in guiding a prime mover utilize for snowplowing including a laser that can be mounted within a cab of the prime mover and oriented to emit a visible laser beam directed through a transparent structure the prime mover. The laser light safety guide further comprises a shielding structure opaque to the visible laser beam that is trimmable or adjustable to enclose a space extending from a portion of the laser from which the visible laser beam is emitted to the transparent structure the prime mover. The shielding structure mitigates or contains reflection of the visible laser beam from an interior surface of the transparent structure.
Method and System for Adaptive Control Of An Industrial Vehicle During A Road Surface Treatment Operation
A method for controlling an industrial vehicle comprising the steps of: detecting a physical feature that determines a local narrowing or a widening of said road route; calculating treatment parameters of the road surface adapted to be used in the presence of said physical feature; calculating an estimated time for reaching said physical feature; calculating a time interval value required for a complete implementation of the second treatment parameters; and starting the implementation of the second treatment parameters at a time that is equal to the estimated time excluding the time interval of complete implementation.
