Plow safeguards
The AlpS, Olimp, AlpS Up (H), Olimp Up (H) plows are heavy duty plows which are capable of
overcoming constant snow pressure of up to 12 tons. A schematic of permissible load distribution has
been presented in
a), b) and c). These plows often operate on uneven terrain and are
subject to meeting immovable obstacles which the operator often cannot see, especially when covered
by snow. For this reason the plows have been equipped with a number of overload safeguards:
❑
the first is the
lateral coping system
, which allows for overcoming slight diagonal bumps by
adjusting to them. AlpS and Olimp plow construction allows the plowshare to tilt right or left by 6°
in relation to the mount (
), while for AlpS Up (H), Olimp Up (H) plows it enables tilts by 5° to
the right and to the left in relation to horizontal hitch
),
