  • Road Maintenance
CONT

Shop-Built Truck-Mounted Ice Scarifier. Woods roads in the North surfaced with packed snow and ice through the winter season pose a safety and productivity challenge for loggers and truckers. In addition to using salt-sand and tire chains where needed, scarifying the ice surface is a common way to increase surface traction and minimize the use of sand, particularly in very cold conditions when salt-sand will not adhere to the ice.

Partial threshold weatherstripping consists of a length of material, triangular in cross-section,(usually metal with a vinyl or closed-cell foam gasket) fastened to the floor on the exterior side of the door. When closed, the door butts against the strip, thus creating a seal even if there is no threshold directly beneath the door. In CATIR-E, 1983, no. 4, p. 33(Canadian Tire "Winter Shopping Guide"), this type of weatherstripping is described as a bumper.
