What Should You Consider When Purchasing a Plow Truck?

Know how your plow will be used before purchasing, whether it’s clearing someone's driveway or roads, because it will end up requiring a different type of plow truck. A big thing to consider when purchasing a plow truck is selecting the right plow attachment. If you buy a plow that’s too big, then you can do a lot of damage to your vehicle. The lighter your truck is and the heavier your plow is will have an affect on your vehicle's traction. Work closely with one of our sales representatives so they can assist you in finding the perfect plow truck for your needs.

Does the Material on the Snow Plow Make a Difference?

Yes, there are different materials that make up snow plows. There are three materials that are used and each have their pros and cons. There are stainless steel, mild steel, and polyethylene materials. Mild steel is the most common material, and the cheapest option. Stainless steel is a great option if you want to invest more because it is tougher and more resistant to rust and corrosion than mild steel. Polyethylene, or “poly”, are plows that are great at fighting against scratches, and will be great at clearing snow because snow will rarely stick to the surface of the plow.

What’s the Difference Between Home and Commercial Plowing?

An investment in a snow plow for home use is not as expensive as a commercial plow truck. A straight plow with a smaller pickup truck will be a great choice for home use. Commercial businesses are a bigger investment and a v-shaped plow is a great option for its versatility. Larger plows will get more work done efficiently on a commercial level.
