Keep Dangerous Sheets of Ice From Sliding Off the Top of a Semi
Winter weather is treacherous on America's roadways. The large, flat tops of semi-trailers can accumulate ice and snow, which may slide off the top when the truck is moving, startling or hitting other drivers and causing dangerous auto accidents. Truckers have a responsibility to ensure others' safety on the roadways, and the Melt N' Slide can help them do this.
This device helps truck drivers reduce the amount of time it takes for the heating system to melt accumulated ice and snow. Instead, a slim platform attaches to the top of the trailer and, using a pneumatic slide, safely dumps the ice and snow to one side.
Easy to Attach and Simple to Operate
The Melt N' Slide is approved for all standard sized trailers and can be easily attached to the top of a semi-truck. The Melt N' Slide also contains a heating device, allowing the ice to warm and melt so it slides off easily. Using the remote control, the Melt N' Slide heats the roof of the trailer, and the hydraulic levers tilt the panel.
Every year, millions of dollars are spent removing snow and ice from the top of trailers. Many times, drivers have to climb up on top of the trailer and remove the snow and ice by hand. This costs money in the form of delays, and it's also illegal in North America to drive with snow and ice on top of the trailer. If the driver doesn't remove the snow and ice, then they and their trucking company may be liable for fines, as well. Climbing up on top of the trailer is also an unsafe predicament for the driver.
Reduce Safety Concerns With the Melt N' Slide
Inventor Joanna M. Szajer of Canada developed the Melt N' Slide in response to the need for truckers to remove snow and ice from their trailers. Removing the snow and ice by hand takes time, which may mean costly delays. In addition, snow or ice that's left behind on trailers can also add to the weight of the rig – truck weight is tightly regulated, so even a little extra can mean difficulties at weigh stations.
Joanna knew that there has to be a safe, easy, and effective way to quickly remove snow and ice build up from trailer tops. Instead of waiting for a heating system to warm up and melt all the ice, Joanna included hydraulic lifts in the Melt N' Slide to quickly clean the tops of the trailer. This simple to use invention comes in a variety of sizes for a snug fit on top of the trailer.
