Abstract
A debris removal apparatus can be mounted on the front of a suitable vehicle for movement over the surface of the highway. The apparatus is formed with a central member and opposing wings pivotally mounted on the sides of the central member. The wings are independently pivotally movable by hydraulic cylinders forwardly and rearwardly of the central member to permit a selective placement of the debris on the shoulder of the highway. Hydraulic cylinders also control the vertical positioning of the apparatus between a lowered operative position and a raised transport position. Openings in the structure of the apparatus are covered with a rigid mesh that allows the passage of air through the apparatus, but not debris. The lower edge of the central member and wings are provided with a detachable wear strip. A control mechanism limits the speed of the vehicle when the apparatus is in the operative position.
