ABSTRACT:
A roof rake includes a generally planar snow moving surface and a handle assembly for manipulating the snow moving surface on the roof. The handle assembly may be gripped by a user who is not located on the roof to pull the snow moving surface from a position on the interior of the roof towards the eaves of the roof to remove a swath of snow. To prevent damage to the roof during this snow removal operation, the lower edge of the snow moving surface is spaced above the surface of the roof by a plurality of rotatable wheels carried on the snow moving surface. One wheel is adjacent each side of the snow moving surface. A plurality of plastic tabs are carried on the lower edge of the snow moving surface. If one of the wheels falls off an edge of the roof, one or more of the plastic tabs will engage the roof to keep the lower edge of the snow moving surface spaced above the surface of the roof.
