Touring NEW Snowplowing Gear & equipment coming 2021

What happens here

A Weihl Snowplowing representative presents a snow plow that utilizes an 'active cutting edge' mechanism. Unlike traditional plows where only a portion of the blade might contact uneven ground, this design ensures full blade contact, leading to a cleaner scrape. He explains that the plow uses oil to push the wings out and nitrogen to pull them back, allowing for faster and more forgiving movement when encountering obstacles like curbs. This reduces damage to the plow and truck, and lessens impact on the operator. The plow also features a low-profile LED light bar for improved visibility.

Goal: A representative from Weihl Snowplowing showcases a specialized snow plow featuring an active cutting edge and nitrogen-powered cylinders for increased durability and ground contact.
