ABSTRACT:
A berm clearing attachment for removable securement to a road clearing vehicle, such as a bulldozer, road grader, hi-lift, dump truck, tractor, or skid-steer loader, for side or lateral dozing accumulated dirt and debris off of roads and road berms and away from guiderails by reciprocating laterally with respect to the longitudinal axis of the road clearing vehicle as the vehicle travels on the road and road berm. The berm clearing attachment includes a support framework removably securable to the front of the road clearing vehicle, and when used with the skid loader, the support framework would be removably securable to the front mounting plate of the loader. The berm clearing attachment includes an elongated cylinder housing mounted to the support framework transverse to the axis of travel of the loader along the road and road berm, an inner boom disposed within the cylinder housing and capable of selective, slidable, reciprocable extension and retraction within the cylinder housing in a direction lateral to the longitudinal axis of the loader, and a blade secured to the distal end of the inner boom. The berm clearing attachment also includes a pivoting cylinder secured to the support framework for selectively raising and lowering the cylinder housing with respect to the surface of the road so that the blade can be raised or lowered to facilitate side dozing of dirt and debris.
