Abstract: A containment plow adapted to be mounted to a vehicle such as a skid steer, a wheeled loader, or a tractor, comprises a moldboard frame, a moldboard mounted to the moldboard frame, a moldboard cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of the moldboard and comprising a plurality of cutting edge segments, each moldboard cutting edge segment mounted so as to have two rotational degrees of freedom movement relative to the moldboard and one translational degree of freedom movement relative to the moldboard, and a moldboard extension and wing assembly connected to the moldboard frame adjacent each end of the moldboard.

Abstract: A containment plow adapted to be mounted to a vehicle such as a skid steer, a wheeled loader, or a tractor comprises a moldboard frame, a moldboard mounted to the moldboard frame, a wing pivotally connected to the moldboard frame adjacent each end of the moldboard, a moldboard cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of the moldboard and comprising a plurality of cutting edge segments, and a wing cutting edge mounted to a lower edge of each wing. Each moldboard cutting edge segment is mounted so as to have two rotational degrees of freedom movement relative to the moldboard and one translational degree of freedom movement relative to the moldboard.

Abstract: A spreader comprises a hopper for containing sand, salt or other granular material to be spread upon snow or ice on paved surfaces, the hopper being adapted to be installed in or on a bed of a truck, the hopper having a trough, a shaftless auger positioned in the trough, an auger motor for driving the auger, a spinner positioned at one end of the auger for slinging the granular material upon the snow or ice, a spinner motor for driving the spinner, and at least one keeper supported by the trough and extending over the auger for retaining the auger in place during operation and thereby reducing flexure of the auger and resulting loss of efficiency of material transport by the auger during operation of the spreader.

Abstract: A snow plow and mount frame assembly permits an operator to attach and detach a snow plow to and from a mount frame secured to a vehicle, without the operator exiting a cab of the vehicle. The assembly comprises a mount frame, a snow plow frame, a plow blade, a first actuator for pivoting the A-frame relative to the lift frame, a latch mechanism, and a second actuator to either latch or unlatch the latch mechanism. When the vehicle is driven toward the snow plow the snow plow frame mates with the mount frame and an electrical connection is made between the vehicle electrical system and at least the first actuator without manual manipulation. The second actuator is energized to either latch the latch mechanism thereby securing the snow plow frame to the mount frame or unlatch the latch mechanism thereby freeing the snow plow frame from the mount frame.

Abstract: A snow plow headlamp comprises a housing adapted to be mounted to a frame member of a snow plow assembly, at least a first forwardly directed LED mounted in the housing between opposite ends of the housing and configured to illuminate ahead of a vehicle to which the snow plow assembly is mounted, a second forwardly directed LED mounted in the housing adjacent one of the ends of the housing, a reflector mounted in the housing on a side of the second LED opposite the one end of the housing and configured to reflect light from the second LED to illuminate to a side of the vehicle to which the snow plow assembly is mounted, and a transparent cover mounted to the housing.
