Back Saver Blade Installer

Submitted by: Northeast District 

Innovation Description and Benefit:

The Back Saver Blade Installer​ is designed to aid in the installation of grader and snowplow blades safely, more efficiently, and with less manpower. The process of changing heavy blades is simplified while the device lifts the blade and holds them in place while crews move or install mounting hardware. Additionally, this innovation allows for fewer tools being required for completing blade installation and removal.
