Abstract: A materials removal assembly for clearing materials from a horizontal surface, such as for removing snow or precipitation from a top surface on a vehicle. The assembly has a beam; a first coupling connected to a first end of the beam; a second coupling connected to the first coupling; and a blade assembly connected to the second coupling. The first coupling permits rotation of the second coupling and the blade assembly above and below a longitudinal axis of the beam. The second coupling permits rotation of the blade assembly about a first vertical axis transverse to the longitudinal axis of the beam. In one embodiment, movement of the materials removal assembly causes rotation of the blade assembly and movement of the materials to a side of the vehicle.
