Snow removal systems or Scraper Systems are now part of the Rite-Hite family.

The Rite-Hite network recently acquired Quintin Machinery, which manufactures the Scraper Systems snow removal system and specializes in manufacturing convenient snow removal systems for trucks and buses. As the exclusive distributor of Rite-Hite products in Quebec, Canado Nacan Equipements offers these equipments in its catalog. What should I know about these devices?

Why do you have to remove snow from the roof of a truck or bus?

Snow removal from the roof of a truck or bus ensures the safety of their passengers and road users.

Also, article 498.1 of the Highway Safety Code provides for the prohibition of driving with a vehicle covered in snow, ice or any other material that could come loose and that could present a danger to road users.

Passenger safety

First, the roof is at risk of shattering and collapsing under the weight of the accumulating snow. This can lead to serious injury and even death to passengers. In addition, the height of the mass of snow that accumulates can unbalance the vehicle and cause traffic accidents of varying severity.

The safety of road users

The mass of snow piling up on the roof can fall onto the road at any time with the slightest sudden movement of the bus or truck. This can lead to more or less serious accidents that would endanger the lives of several people.
