ABSTRACT:
A mobile deicer is mounted on hydrostatically driven wheels mounted directly to the longitudinal frame without springs, thereby increasing the stability of the apparatus. Supported on the frame is the unique body which allows stand up access to the engine compartment, carries a larger volume of deicing fluid, provides a crew compartment shielded from the weather, and provides ready access to the operator compartment. Supported atop the body and aligned with the longitudinal of the frame is the main boom, which raises and lowers the operators compartment. The operators compartment is connected to the main boom by a parallelogram boom which maintains the platform supporting the operators compartment in the horizontal plane. Also mounted on the platform is a scissor boom extendible horizontally which carries a nozzle on its distal end, the nozzle being positionable under the operators control. The scissor boom may be inclined relative to the horizontal plane within preset limits.
