A snow plow is an investment in your company, which is why it’s important to consider all the facts before buying. As a snow removal equipment company, we understand that you depend on your snow plows to keep pavement clear for multiple accounts.
When buying a new snow plow to add to your fleet, you’ll need to consider the quality, size, style, materials, and usability of the equipment. For more information, don’t hesitate to reach out to our snow removal equipment company in Grand Rapids, Michigan.
Quality
Since a snow plow is an important asset to your company, it’s important that you buy quality. A quality snow plow will be able to last for many winters to come with proper maintenance.
As a municipal equipment supply company, we can help you find the best quality snow plow for your budget. Our team is knowledgeable about snow removal equipment, which means they’ll be able to answer any questions you have about maintenance and other important topics.
Size
You’ll need a bigger snow plow blade for commercial work than what you’d use for your own residential driveway. If you have accounts that include parking lots or side roads, you’ll need to let our team know so we can direct you to the right size snow plow for your business operations. In general, commercial snow removal contractors need a snow plow of at least 8 feet.
Straight Plow vs. V-Plow
The success of your company depends on being able to efficiently remove snow. Fortunately, we offer different types of snow plows to help you keep your clients happy. If you’re concerned about trimming time spent on each account, ask us about our V-plow options.
A V-plow has multiple positions that make clearing a parking lot or long driveway that much easier. If you have a budget you need to stick to, ask us about our straight blade options, which cost slightly less than V-plows.
Plow Materials
Snow plows can be made of poly (short for polyethylene), mild steel, and stainless steel depending on their brand and model. While all these plow materials will be able to get the job done, poly is considered the best at resisting rust, scratches, and dents. Poly is also a slick material, which means snow isn’t able to stick as easily to the blade.
Usability
Your snow service is needed the most when winter weather is at its worst, which is why it pays to make sure your new snow plow is easy to attach to your vehicle.
We can help you determine what attachment system is easiest to use so you know what to expect this winter. You’ll also want to make sure your new snow plow attachment system is compatible with the other vehicles in your fleet.
