Tygr Grader Series

 When debris is not removed from under the guardrail, water will be retained on the road surface causing extremely dangerous hydroplaning conditions for motorists. When debris is not removed, the water retained on the road will increase in volume until it reaches and locates an exit point. This causes serious erosion of the embankment and even the road surface itself, resulting in costly repairs. With debris cleaned, water will exit the roadway at the point of contact returning it to the original designed conditions. 

In the video above, this particular highway had not been cleaned in more than 20 years. The Tygr cleaned 11,000 feet of this guardrail in 2 1/2 days. This Tygr was not the modified unit. The modified Tygr design increased the productivity by 30% with the main push blade capable of pushing 30% more material than the original blade. The main blade of the Tygr can also be tilted to match the off-road slope of the embankment. 

As you can see the skid steer and Tygr grader operates primarily in the parking lane along the highway. Thus the operator and equipment are not in the traffic lanes greatly improving operator safety. The cleaning can also be done at 1/2 throttle of the skid steer engine, thus reducing the noise level to the operator.
