Buyer Guide Snow Rakes
Snow rakes are essential for clearing snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, and parking lots. When selecting a snow rake, pay attention to its clearance, width, and length. Also, consider the product’s weight, as you’ll want to select a device with a reasonable weight.- Clearance. The clearance is the distance between the edge of the snow-rake blade and the road surface. This distance should range between 32 and 36 inches, as anything less can lead to a back injury.
- Width. The width of the snow plow should be at least 18 inches. A wider width will enable you to move snow more easily, while a smaller width can lead to more strain on your back.
- Length. The length of the snow plow should be at least 60 inches. A longer snow plow will clear snow from large surfaces in less time, while a shorter one will require more frequent passes.
- Weight. A lightweight snow rake is easier to handle and maneuver. However, heavier snow rakes are better when it comes to pushing the snow into the road.
- Angle of Blades. Most snow plows have a 45-degree angle. The angle helps keep snow packed firmly, which reduces the amount of shoveling required.
How to choose Snow Rakes
Snow rakes can be used to clear snow from driveways and sidewalks. Some snow rakes come with built-in wire baskets, while others are specifically designed for removing snow from the roof.- What kind of snow rake do you need? Snow rakes come in a few different forms, including roof rakes, driveway rakes, and sidewalk rakes. Roof rakes are flat, metal tools with tines designed to scrape snow off roofs. Driveway rakes, on the other hand, are pointed, metal tools with tines designed to scrape snow off driveways.
- What material is the rake made out of? Roof and driveway rakes can be made of a variety of different metals or composite materials. Many roof rakes are made from carbon steel, which is durable and rust-resistant.
- What size is the rake? Roof rakes, in particular, come in a variety of different sizes. When choosing a roof rake, it’s important to choose one that’s the right size for your area. Roof rakes designed for larger roofs tend to have longer handles and wider tines, while smaller, compact rakes fit tighter into tight spaces.
- How much weight can you expect the snow rake to handle? Snow rakes have a wide range of different weight capacities, from 25 pounds to 300 pounds. When choosing a snow rake, it’s important to consider the size and weight of the snow in your area. For large areas, a heavier rake may be more appropriate.
- Does the rake come with built-in handles? Some rakes feature handles that attach to the rake itself, while others feature handles that attach to the rake tines. If you plan on using the rake for an extended period of time, you may want to choose one with a handle attached to the rake.
How to maintain Snow Rakes
Snow rakes are used to remove snow and ice from driveways, sidewalks, and walkways. They are most effective when used on packed snow, but can be used on wet, powdery snow. Snow rakes can also effectively remove ice from sidewalks.- Keep the blades sharp, clean, and free from rust.
- Avoid hitting the ice with the tines.
- Avoid hitting the asphalt, concrete, or mulched areas with the blades.
- Avoid using the rake if it was raining or snowing when you started using the rake.
- Periodically check the outer wheels for signs of wear.
- Store your snow rakes out of direct sunlight.
