The bottom moldboard support structure or frog shall be a minimum 4" x 4" x 3/4" thick A-36 MOD angle iron boxed the entire distance between bolt holes for reinforcement. Moldboard shall have built in snow deflectors. The built-in snow deflectors shall extend approximately 12" beyond a vertical line drawn from the leading edge of the cutting edge when the attack angle of the cutting edge is at 35 degrees (measured from vertical). Plow shall have variable moldboard pitch adjustment to allow the attack angle of the cutting edge to be changed from approximately 15 degrees to 35 degrees as measured back from a vertical line extending up from cutting edge. OR Plow moldboard and push frame shall be equipped with slotted trip assemblies that will permit the plow to slide up and away from road obstructions in order to mitigate impact shock and potential damage to the snow plow. The lower moldboard support shall have two (2) sets of trip slide receptors comprised of 3/4" steel plate with 1" steel spacers. The spring shall be minimum 11/16" wire diameter x 16" length 5160H spring steel. The rod shall be minimum 1-1/4" diameter cold-rolled steel with 1-3/4" slotted steel plate. The retainer nut shall incorporate a safety device preventing accidental nut rotation and to aid in retention of components in the event of failure. |

| Spring Trip Assemblies | 2 | 2 | Trip Mechanism: Plow shall be equipped with two (2) compression spring loaded pitch adjustment bars to allow the one way snow plow to "trip" over obstructions and return to the normal plowing position without having to manually reset the tripping device. Each spring shall be 9/16" diameter with a solid load rate of 1,644 lbs or a combined rate of 3,288 pounds. |
| Approx. Weight | 2015 lbs. (916 kg) | 2135 lbs. (970 kg) | |
| Power Reverse Assembly: The hydraulic reversing cylinders shall be two (2) double acting, minimum 3" diameter with 1-1/2" hard chrome plated shafts. Hydraulic cylinders shall be capable of high pressure operation and shall be burst strength tested to 8,000 psi. The hydraulic circuit shall include a hydraulic cushion valve to protect the circuit from sudden impact. Power reversible snow plow shall incorporate a free floating oscillating feature to allow the plow to follow the changing road contours. This feature shall not be sacrificed if plow is equipped with any quick coupler. Mounting Assembly: The reversible angle push frame shall be of heavy duty construction and shall be designed to distribute plowing stresses across the entire length of the lower moldboard angle. The push frame shall attach to the moldboard with no less than four (4) 1-1/4" diameter pins. The main components of the push frame shall be manufactured of 4" x 4" x 1/4" wall square tubing, Grade A-500B or better. The reversible A-frame shall be of tubular construction, minimum 4" x 2" x 3/16", A-500B or better. The reversible A-frame shall straddle the push frame, that is it shall be doubled such as manufactured by Little Falls Machine, Inc. and shall support the pivot pin at the top and the bottom for maximum strength. The pivot pin shall be a minimum 1-1/2" diameter. Shoes: Power reversible snow plow shall be equipped with two (2) shoes, 1-1/2" thick x 11" diameter, C1090 or equal.

1. The Falls Snow Express Plow is designed for efficient snow removal combining the high-speed characteristics of a one-way plow and the versatility of a reversible snow plow. The precise curvature produces an excellent flow of snow for maximum casting ability.
2. Infinite adjustment from 0-35 degrees, left or right. Two heavy-duty, double-acting cylinders provide smooth adjustment with the moldboard raised or lowered or while under full load. The highpressure construction (8,000 psi min. burst) enable the cylinders to withstand normal plowing stresses. A cushion valve (standard equipment) protects the cylinders and the hydraulic circuits from sudden impact or surge.
3. The heavy tubular construction reversing table plus the double-reversing A-frame are the heaviest in the industry. The heavy construction not only provides maximum strength, but also provides the ultimate in hydraulic component protection.
4. Three position pitch control allows the operator to select the proper attack angle for varying snow and ice conditions. The adjustable pitch allows compensation for loose or hard-packed snow and to accomodate the steep attack angle required for carbide cutting edges.
5. Compression spring-loaded tilting bars allow the plow to trip over unavoidable road hazards and return to normal plowing position. Especially recommended in urban applications.
6. The Falls Snow Express Plow is built to the same standards of quality and workmanship as the famous Falls One-Way and V-type Snow Plows. Durability and performance are synonymous with the Falls brand equipment. Falls equipment is built to withstand the use and abuse that owners of this type of equipment demand and must have.
Options available: Slotted trip or compression spring trip tilting bars. Prices and specifications on request.
