How to choose Snow Plows

 Snow plows are an important piece of equipment for many property managers but finding the right one can be tricky. Read on for some tips to help you choose the perfect snow plow for your properties.

• What type of plow is right for your property? There are several types of snow plows, each with distinct benefits. For example, a blade plow is inexpensive but causes more damage to turf, sidewalks, and driveways than other types of plows. A box plow, on the other hand, is more expensive but less aggressive on hard surfaces.
• What type of plow do you need? You likely need more than one snow plow, depending on your property. For example, you may need a blade plow for driveways and a box plow for parking lots.
• What type of plow can you afford? Snow plows can be expensive, but you can find affordable options to do the job.
• What type of plow do you need for snow removal? Some plows are better for snow removal than others. For example, if you have a lot of ice, you may want to invest in a plow that is specially adapted for removing ice.
• How heavy is the snow? Snow plows can vary widely in weight. Heavy snow may require a heavy-duty plow, while a light-duty plow can handle lightweight snow.
• How large is your property? Many plows are specifically designed for large properties, while others work for smaller properties.
• Are you local? Many plows need to be hauled by truck, which requires special licensing. If you are local, you may be able to rent the plow you need from a local shop.
• Do you need a plow that can be attached to your truck? Some plows can be maneuvered by truck, while others must be towed behind a truck.
