An exemplary plow includes a moldboard having a wear surface and a blade having a wear surface. A wear resistant coating is applied to at least a portion of at least one of the wear surfaces of the blade and moldboard. The wear resistant coating includes a plurality of scales. Each scale has a leading edge, a trailing edge, a raised portion disposed between the leading edge and the trailing edge, and a peak of the raised portion disposed closer to the trailing edge than the leading edge. The scales of the wear resistant coating are arranged in a plurality of rows, and gaps formed between scales in one row are offset from gaps formed between scales in an adjacent row.

A snow-clearing strip for the snow-clearing blade of a snowplow has an attachment neck, onto which an elongated rubber body is vulcanized, which body has a wear section that projects downward and is freely flexible, and in which hard-material wear bodies are embedded over the wear height. A reinforcement is attached to the attachment neck, which reinforcement extends over at least the upper third of the wear height and is connected with the rubber body with material bonding.

A plow assembly includes a mounting structure configured to mount at a vehicle, a center plow attached at the mounting structure, and a plow wing mounted at an end of the center plow via a first attachment assembly and a second attachment assembly. Each of the first and second attachment assemblies includes an elongated attachment element and a biasing element. The elongated attachment element attaches a respective rear portion of the plow wing at the center plow and engages the biasing element at the rear of the center plow. The biasing element allows for movement of the attachment element at the rear of the center plow to allow for pivotal movement of the plow wing relative to the center plow. The biasing element limits pivotal movement of the plow wing and biases the plow wing towards a neutral state, where the plow wing is generally normal to the center plow.

A system of actively introducing opposite phase vibrations to reduce or cancel vibrations caused by operating a snow plow. The invention also relates to a method of actively introducing such opposite phase vibrations.

A material box can telescope between larger and smaller widths to accommodate legal requirements of traveling down the road, making traveling between job sites easier and safer than conventional, unadjustable material boxes. The material box can be used in a wide configuration to plow a wider area, such as empty parking lots, cutting down work time. When cars are present, the material box can be made narrow to accommodate for the vehicles while still being an effective material moving device.

The device includes two opposing lateral wings forming the right and left sides of the scraping device. Each wing includes an upper section through which the wing is attached to the central support about a vertical pivot axis, and a bottom section that is pivotable with respect to the upper section about a first horizontal pivot axis. Each wing can follow the unevenness of the roadway surface and may also include parts that can pivot backwards in case of a frontal impact with an obstacle. The scraping device offers a very high degree of versatility and can clean various kinds of roadway surfaces with an unprecedented level of efficiency.

The invention relates to a snow-clearing strip (1) for the snow-clearing blade of a snowplow, having an attachment neck (2), onto which an elongated rubber body (3) is vulcanized, which body has a wear section (3a) that projects downward and is freely flexible, and in which hard-material wear bodies are embedded over the wear height (H). It is the task of the invention to improve the wear resistance of snow-clearing strips of the type stated initially, to the effect that these are better suitable for use at high snow-clearing speeds and/or in the case of uneven surfaces to be cleared, and achieve longer useful lifetimes. To accomplish this task, the invention proposes that a reinforcement is attached to the attachment neck (2), which reinforcement-extends over at least the upper third of the wear height (H) and is connected with the rubber body (3) with material bonding.

A material containment and transport device may be provided. The material containment and transport device includes a body portion having opposed body side edges and opposed body end edges connecting respective ends of the body side and end edges. The containment and transport device includes a border portion constructed of a porous mesh material, the border portion having at least a pair of border side edges and a plurality of opposed border end edges connecting respective ends of respective border side edges. The border portion outwardly surrounds the body portion. At least one pull cord is selectively attached to and extends away from a corner of the border portion so that the body portion may be pulled thereby.
