Why Mechanical Snow Removal?

There are a few reasons why using snow removal equipment is the better alternative to using only salt:

• It’s more cost-effective:  you pay for the attachment and equipment and use it every season, instead of having to buy more salt each year.
• It’s environmentally friendly:  it prevents you from having to replace contaminated dirt or dead plants due to overuse of salt.
• It’s more efficient:  you can remove more snow from a larger area in less time, helping you increase the level of service you bring to your clients.

What Snow Removal Equipment Works Best?

Not just one tool works best for mechanical snow removal – different attachments and machines should be used depending on where you’re working and how much space you need to clear.  For areas like small parking lots and sidewalks, a skid loader with a small snow plow or snow blower would be enough.  For larger areas, like mall parking lots and roads, you might want the power of a compact wheel loader with a snow push or a motor grader and a V plow.  It all depends on the application and the size of the area you’re doing the snow and ice removal.

No matter what projects you’re working on this winter, you can find equipment that will help you remove snow and ice safely and effectively.
