Snow and ice control equipment frame

Abstract

A frame for mounting granular material spreading equipment, liquid storage tanks and liquid delivery equipment in a dump body or to a truck body is adapted to hold such equipment and allow for unitary removal of the frame with adjoined equipment from the truck body. The frame provides structure for mounting of granular material spreading equipment, liquid storage tanks and liquid delivery equipment, including liquid dispensing and metering components, granular dispensing and metering components, hydraulic equipment and electrical components. The frame may include integral legs, which in the preferred embodiment are self storing. The frame with adjoined equipment in a deployed position may be stored as a unit. A frame bearing granular material spreading, liquid storage tanks and liquid delivery equipment constitutes a snow/ice control apparatus that may be unitarily deployed on trucks and removed for storage purposes.
