Exclusive Tour of Sno-Power's One-of-a-Kind Snow Plows
What happens here
The tour moves to the cylinder room, where a technician is assembling individual cylinder components. Rick highlights that Sno-Power manufactures all its cylinder parts in-house, including machining rods, pistons, and gland nuts from raw stock, ensuring precise quality control. He also emphasizes that their cylinders are powder-coated for durability. The hydraulic valve bodies are also custom-made with universal solenoids, allowing any solenoid to be swapped into any position. This design simplifies troubleshooting and reduces the need to carry multiple specialized spare parts.
Goal: Showcase Sno-Power's commitment to in-house manufacturing and standardized, easy-to-service components.
