Powered pivot system for implement assembly

摘要

It is disclosed a powered pivot assembly for rotatably coupling an implement, e.g a plow blade, to an end of a frame assembly adapted to be driven by a vehicle. The powered pivot assembly is drivingly engaged with the frame assembly to rotate the implement about a generally vertical axis. The pivot assembly comprises an electric motor for causing rotation of the implement. It is also disclosed a pivotal plow system comprising a frame assembly having a first end adapted to be mounted to a vehicle; and an implement being coupled to a second end of the frame assembly and rotatable relative thereto about a generally vertical axis. The plow assembly comprises a pivot assembly drivingly engaged with the frame assembly and operable to rotate said plow assembly and blade. The pivot assembly comprises a motor for causing rotation of the plow assembly and blade about the generally vertical axis.
