• 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.
