Abstract: A wear pad assembly for the bottom of a large machine operated device has a number of wear pads, each of which has a number of sections which are compressed and sandwiched together. The sections have an inclined front surface to assist in scooping debris or snow from a floor surface or a street. The sections are mounted in a frame which has a top plate, a pair of end plates which are perpendicular to the top plate, and a pair of rods which extend between the end plates and are parallel each other and to the top plate. The sections may include fabric reinforced rubber, molded rubber, polyurethane, or a combination of these materials.
