Abstract
The invention is a snow and ice remover for the roofs of trucks and trailers that is rollable along the ground. Two vertical beams and an upper cross piece support a vertically adjustable snow plow assembly, so that when a snow or ice covered truck or trailer moves under the properly positioned plow, the snow or ice is pushed off the top of the vehicle. The entire structure is supported by two horizontal base structures at ground level. The base structures each have wheels on jacks at their ends to permit lifting and rolling the unit. Each base structure also has a platform to hold a ballast weight to prevent movement of the unit when it is lowered to the ground and in use.
