Abstract
The system for removing snow from vehicles removes snow, ice and other debris from the roof of a vehicle, such as a truck, trailer, van or the like, as the vehicle drives therethrough. The system includes a frame defining an open inner region dimensioned and configured for passage of the vehicle. The frame includes a pair of laterally opposed posts and an upper crossbeam extending between upper ends of the posts. A pair of arms are pivotally attached to the posts, the pair of arms extending orthogonal to the plane of the frame. A pivotally mounted forward crossbar extends between forward ends of the pair of arms. A blade is mounted on the forward crossbar so that the blade removes the snow, ice and other debris from the roof of the vehicle as it passes through the frame.

A system for removing snow from vehicles, comprising:
- a frame defining an open inner region dimensioned and configured for passage of a vehicle therethrough, the frame including a pair of laterally opposed posts and an upper crossbeam extending between upper ends of the posts;
- a pair of arms pivotally attached to the posts, each of the posts having a corresponding one of the arms attached thereto, the arms extending substantially orthogonal to the frame, the arms having a forward end and a rearward end;
- and
- a blade pivotally attached to the forward ends of the arms and extending between the arms, the blade being adapted to remove snow from a roof of the vehicle as the vehicle passes through the frame.
