SNOW TRANSPORT EQUIPMENT MODEL 40 TOWED SNOWPLOW CARRIER.
A 40-foot-long ski-mounted snowplow carrier, designed for towing, was developed to eliminate pitching and rolling of the snowplow on deep snow and to permit uniform removal of snow from borrow pits, compacted-snow areas, and ice. The carrier includes two grader blades which funnel the snow into the...
