    摘要: An auxiliary lighting system may operate with a controller that is electrically connectable to a vehicle's electric plug. The controller may have a microprocessor that is programmed to perform at least one of these functions: (A) prevent a front facing auxiliary turn signal light from going into an ON condition when a brake on the vehicle has been activated; (B) operate auxiliary turn signal lights into alternating ON and OFF conditions that match the simultaneous ON and OFF conditions of the vehicle's turn signals; and, (C) prevent the vehicle's electronic control unit from detecting that the controller is electrically connected to the electric plug.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: Provided is a material handling assembly, such as a plow, that may contain additional features mounted thereon so as to increase the functionality of the assembly, and an apparatus and method for mounting such an assembly or other like structure onto a vehicle, such as a truck. A plow mounting apparatus may be used for automatically mounting and dismounting a plow blade to an end of an associated vehicle. The plow mounting apparatus includes a plow assembly comprising: an expandable plow blade pivotally attached to a front portion of a plow frame; a lift frame attached to a rear portion of the plow frame; an auxiliary light mounting apparatus attached to the plow frame; and a height adjustment mechanism that is operable to raise and lower the plow blade assembly relative to the ground. The height adjustment mechanism may include a hydraulic cylinder having a top portion and a bottom portion. The vertical pull structure is attached to the lift frame and includes an outer vertical sleeve and an inner vertical member which is slidingly engageable with the outer vertical sleeve. The light mounting apparatus includes a cross member affixed to a lift frame of a plow assembly and first and second horns which are positioned within the interior of the first and second ends of the cross member such that they are adjustable by way of a fastener.

    摘要: A granular spreader assembly may include a hopper, a granular material moving mechanism, a material guide that is positioned within the hopper and a vibrator. One end of the material guide may extend toward the vibrator and may be separated from the inner surface of the hopper by an empty space.
