Moving Mountains of Snow

What happens here

For dense or deep snow piles, specialized loaders like skid loaders or smaller wheel loaders are deployed. Their primary role is to 'soften up' or break down the compacted snow, turning it into a more manageable state for the larger front-end loaders to scoop and load into dump trailers. The video highlights a skid loader operator using a large snow bucket to efficiently chip away at massive piles. The advanced track systems on ASV skid loaders, designed by snowmobile track manufacturers, provide superior traction on icy surfaces, enabling them to move heavy snow effectively.

Goal: Skid loaders and smaller wheel loaders are used to break down large, compacted snow piles, making the snow easier to load into dump trailers.

Tools and materials

  • Skid Loader (e.g
  • ASV VT-70)
  • Snow Bucket Attachment
  • Wheel Loader (e.g
  • SDLG L916F)
  • Compacted Snow

container. Let's head there now and see what they're up to. We pile the snow as high as possible during the events to preserve as many parking spaces as possible. But once we're into the loading and hauling phase, we do the exact opposite and start knocking those piles down and loosening them up so that we can easily get them into the dumpster. So the Mecca's job is just to go through and soften up the piles while the big Hyundai loader shoves them into the dumpsters. Next up, let's hop in that big Hyundai loader and top off one of these dumpsters. heat, heat. Heat. Next up, let's head over to the site that Timmy's working on with the ASV. He's got a dumpster over there, and we're going to see how well he's doing with just a skid loader, and he's doing it all by himself, meaning he's breaking up the piles plus loading and hauling. The big difference is his truck has a little further to go, which gives him more time in between loads to get everything prepared. >> Holy buckets. >> Tonight about it's it's momentum tonight. How you load the truck. [laughter] Oh man. Have you ran into anything yet that you didn't want to? >> Not yet. >> No. Good. Good. >> No. >> That is >> I went over or ass over tea kettle into the dumpster there with a big fan load. But >> Oh, you did? >> It was like nosing in. Yeah. >> Oh, you put that much snow in the bucket. >> Wow. I wouldn't think snow would make it tip. You must had a big fat load. >> Yeah. Well, some of it's like just dense ice in the middle of the pile. You never know. You know, get it up in the air and then >> Yep. >> Is this Are you just going to do this last load over here or what are you going to do? Something >> Yeah, that's kind of push back good enough. Trying to get through this one as quick as we can, you know, just give parking spots.
