The heavy-duty business of snow plowing never ends as winter road maintenance agencies know well. And, along with a reliable truck, the most critical piece of equipment to get the job done remains the snow plow itself. Needing to be both reliable, durable, and cost-effective, snowplow blades have a high demand and take a beating for the value they provide. And, with all the new products being tested repeatedly, steel snow plow blades continue to remain the standard by which all other substitutes are being measured, oftentimes not as good either.
Versatility is often a need for smaller agencies that are expected to do more with the same equipment. This is where a smaller blade designed for multi-season use makes more sense. During the warm months, it can be used for pushing dirt and gravel, and during the cold season it still remains effective on snow and piled up ice as well. There’s no need to repeatedly change out blades as the current design works effectively in both environments.

Heavy Duty Snow Demand
Where dedicated fleets for heavy snow and ice work are the norm, differences still exist when moving snow out of standard duty conditions like parking lots, versus heavy snowfall zones with critical immediate needs, like highways. In these instances, a high quality plow blade matched with a snow deflector becomes essential, and may even need the ability of a wing kit to just add in an extra two feet of clearance faster. Combine the manufacturing with stainless steel made of the blade itself to avoid corrosion problems, and drivers will find themselves operating with a highly effective blade, minimal out-of-cab time in the weather and exposed to road risk adjusting, and miles of performance in terms of the cleared road.
Options for Different Vehicles
Skid steer plows are ideal for vehicles like trucks that have originally been equipped with normal blows for light push and dozing work versus heavy duty dozer assignments. With the skid steer approach in commercial snow plow blades, even the smallest of industrial trucks can be put to work for agencies without having to procure an entirely new vehicle just for snow clearing. Instead of seeing significant dollars sunk in capital equipment adding to the fleet, minimal dollars are spent on high quality blades that accommodate the type of vehicles available. This allows agencies to maximize the value of their fleets, especially during winter when additional plowing demand is high, particularly in hard-hit residential road grids or less-trafficked areas off the main routes and highways but still needing regular transit access.
High Quality Choices With Equipment Blades
We offer a variety of commercial snow plow blades for different road conditions and applications. Our various blade choices include corrosion resistance, enhanced durability and strength designs, and different width ranges for different vehicle sizes as well. Each comes with our product protection, customer support, and enhanced snow movement performance. Ideally, the best approach is for a customer to connect with our specialists to properly match the options available with the specific truck or vehicle being used.
Equipment Blades is well aware that procuring the best blades doesn’t stop with just the product itself. The company support, product help and guidance, protection and safety training as well as ongoing maintenance help are all key as well. That’s why Equipment Blades spends so much effort on the front end of the transaction to understand and personalize each account. By knowing exactly how your equipment will be using commercial snow plow blades, we can maximize the value of the Equipment Blades product line and customer support after the fact.
