Why do you need to clear the 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 as well as road users.

Also, section 498.1 of the Highway Safety Code prohibits driving a vehicle covered with snow, ice or any other material that may come off it and that may present a danger to road users.

Passenger safety

First, the roof may break and collapse under the weight of the snow that accumulates. This can lead to serious injuries and even passenger deaths. In addition, the height of the mass of snow that accumulates can throw the vehicle off balance and cause traffic accidents of varying severity.

Road user safety

The mass of snow that accumulates on the roof can fall onto the road at any time at 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.

• Portable Model 440: This is the most popular model due to its portable nature. In addition, it is easy to move thanks to 2 wheels installed on each side. You can remove it easily once the winter has passed.
