• Abstract:
  In the fall of 2007, the Maine Department of Transportation (MaineDOT) entered into an agreement with ; Mog Implements, LLC of Charleston, South Carolina to evaluate the Assaloni Telescoping Plow (Model ; E9040/49) and the Assaloni Material Spreader (Model AV30). Mog Implements, LLC is a supplier of ; these products which are manufactured by Assaloni.Com S.P.A., located in Bologna, Italy. ; The MaineDOT agreed to evaluate the equipment for one winter season and in turn provide information ; and feedback to Assaloni.Com relative to the Department’s experience with the plow and spreader. ; This was the first time Assaloni equipment would be installed on a truck other than a Mercedes ; Benz Unimog vehicle, in North America. ; Several issues with both the plow and spreader during the 2007-2008 winter season made it practical to ; extend the evaluation period to include the winter of 2008-2009. ; The general scope of this evaluation was to determine if the Telescoping Plow and Material Spreader ; might be valuable additions to MaineDOT’s snow fighting fleet.
