Tennis court playing surface removal device
A machine-mountable device facilitates removal of the cushioning acrylic and rubber layers overlying the concrete/asphalt base of tennis courts. The device includes: an attachment bracket, a support beam, a support plate, a scraper, and a stopper bar. The attachment bracket is configured to mount the device to any of one of several different transport machines (e.g., a loader, or forklift). The support beam is fixedly secured to the attachment bracket, and the support plate is secured to the support beam. The elongated scraper has a length between 12 and 20 inches, but is preferably between 14 and 15 inches, and optimally is about 16 inches long. The 16 inch scraper is releasably mounted to the support plate, and centered between the ends of the attachment bracket. The scraper removes the layers above the base, while the stopper bar causes the removed layers to simultaneously/automatically roll up like a carpet.
