DuraSweeper
®
Ejected Material and Clear Lane
The volume of material to be removed can be significant. There are two critical factors to successful
placement of the DuraSweeper
®
at your location:
1. Having adequate space and means to remove the snow from the clear lane.
2. Working WITH the prevailing wind for storms in your area. Make sure when placing the
DuraSweeper
®
that the blowing wind will work WITH the action of the brush to blow the snow
away from the truck, the clear lane and the electrical panel.
Ejected material must not be allowed to accumulate in the vehicle lane beyond 4" of packed snow or
trucks will not pass. Prevailing wind conditions during snow season should be considered to maximize
the distance with which the material can be ejected. We recommend allowing 30’ minimum distance to
the side where the ejected snow accumulates in order to keep the drive lane clear.
The clear lane is defined as a straight and centered lane that the vehicle may approach, engage, and
leave the equipment on a straight and centered path. The material of the clear lane is not critical to the
installation and operation of the equipment. We recommend 74’ clear lane both before and after the
placement of the DuraSweeper
®
to allow for a standard tractor trailer entering the DuraSweeper
®
station
in a straight line. If you have longer trailers or double trailers, please allow additional space.
NOTICE
Material accumulation in the clear lane can cause damage to the equipment or create fault
conditions where vehicles cannot pass under brush with proper clearance and remain level.
