Snow Clearing Equipment: Buying Guide


Snow and treacherous, wintery weather conditions can bring businesses to a halt, with ice and sleet making surfaces extremely dangerous for pedestrians and drivers. Such weather often restricts employees and customers gaining access to your premises. This has a knock-on effect on productivity and profitability in the workplace and can present risks to the health and safety of those on-site.

There are several preventative procedures and supplies that can be implemented ahead of potential snowfall or icy weather, however, should the worst happen and your premises fall victim to a particularly deep fall of snow, tools and equipment such as snowploughs can help clear affected areas quickly.

Snow ploughs are excellent at effectively clearing large areas. They are crucial for clearing driveways, parking lots, and roadways because of their quick snow removal ability, particularly during heavy snowfalls. Snow ploughs, which are typically placed on vehicles such as trucks or tractors, have strong blades that swiftly scoop and remove snow. They also contribute to maintaining safe conditions for pedestrians and drivers by quickly removing snow from pathways and roads, lowering the risk of accidents caused by snow buildup.

What is a snow plough?


It would be easy to imagine that the only equipment to move snow and ice off car parks, access roads and paths is an expensive piece of kit like you see in operation on public motorways and streets. In fact, a snow plough can be something relatively simple but effective to use to clear surfaces in minutes.

You can, of course, source a heavy-duty snow plough for when the occasion and location demand it. However, the best snow plough tool for your site may be one that enables you to manually push snow and ice aside or load it into a receptacle so that you can move it much further away. This could be because you are snow ploughing for safety, but also for aesthetic reasons.

Once snow or ice starts to melt and turn to slush, it becomes a hazard and an eyesore, so snow ploughs in all shapes and sizes make it easier to keep outside areas smart and safe.

What Type Of Snow Pusher or Plough Is Best?


Simply put - snowploughs are the smart way to clear snow. Unlike snow shovels, all you need to do is push your snowplough to clear a pathway, making them a much less labour-intensive alternative. Regardless of how much snow you have to move a snowplough will almost always be the easiest way to perform the task.

We stock a variety of snowploughs to suit every budget and site size. For smaller locations, mini snow ploughs like the standard one-man snowplough are best suited. Snow pushers take the strain out of clearing paths, such as our convenient commercial snow pusher, which features a sturdy metal blade and ergonomic grip. Alternatively, if your premises are in an area prone to particularly heavy snowfalls, our heavy-duty snowploughs would be more suitable.

Finally, for very large sites such as car parks a forklift snowplough will make clearing vast areas simple.

The significance of snow ploughs is also compared to snow shovels. The choice between a snow plough and a snow shovel is determined by the scale of the task and personal preferences. Snow ploughs are incredibly efficient, clearing large areas of snowfall quickly and with minimal physical strain. They are adaptable to various terrains and ensure effective snow removal. Furthermore, they improve safety and convenience, particularly in urban or commercial areas that require quick clearance. Snow ploughs efficiently handle large volumes of snow in areas with heavy snowfall, ensuring accessibility during severe weather. While snow shovels have their uses for precision or smaller areas, snow ploughs' speed and reduced physical strain make them the preferred choice for most snow-clearing tasks, especially for larger areas or heavy snow.

Guide to snow ploughs


Whichever durable UK snow plough option you purchase from our range, it can help you make light work of this winter chore. For example, snow shovels or a basic hand snow plough can be used by maintenance staff or anyone else to clear snow and ice from yards, walkways and roads.

If you need something more substantial, a forklift snow plough attachment or snow plough for tractor will come with full instructions, including the best ways to maintain and store forklift truck snow plough equipment when not in use.

Who must keep snow shovels handy?


It would be easy to become complacent and imagine that we don’t get deep snow in Britain. However, even the smallest flurry or a light covering of ice can create walking and driving hazards that must be managed by responsible employers.

We supply cost-effective snow shovels UK organisations in the public and private sector can depend on. For instance, local authority highways teams and parks staff require access to a range of snow control and removal equipment. This can be vital to back up the gritting work they do.

Having a snow shovel or two stored away can certainly benefit schools and colleges in the colder weather, and can be vital for ensuring the safety of visitors and staff around hospitals and care homes. Hospitality businesses need snow ploughing equipment that is quick and easy to use, as do tourist attractions that stay open in the winter.

Any commercial premises requires access to bad weather management equipment, including tools for snow and ice removal to keep their staff, fleet and delivery vehicles safe and operational.

Snow Equipment That’s Ready for Anything


When winter hits and temperatures drop, it’s crucial to prepare your workplace and ensure that it remains safe for all those who access it. As well as using a snowplough to clear snow once it’s fallen, other items we stock, such as de-icing products, white rock salt, salt spreaders and grit & salt bins, all work to store, clear and prevent the hazards cold weather and snow bring.

As Well As Snow Removal, What Other Safety Measures Can I Put Into Place?


Sometimes it’s impossible to predict when the weather will take a turn for the worst; but monitoring the local weather forecasts and being alert to snow warnings can help you prepare your premises accordingly, and be proactive in your approach to on-site health and safety. If snow or weather warnings are issued in your area, spreading a thin layer of de-icing products, grit or white rock salt will prevent snow from sticking to surfaces, making it easier to clear later. Having the right snow and safety supplies, such as snowploughs, stored on-site will make the world of difference during bad weather, and help keep your staff and visitors safe.
