What its like to be a Snow plow operator -a Long cold day in the life of a snowfighter
What happens here
This step showcases various snow plowing techniques adapted for different areas of commercial properties. Large pickup trucks, such as a Ford F-Series equipped with a Western V-Plow, are utilized for clearing wide roads and primary driveways. The video highlights how the V-plow blades can be strategically angled to effectively capture and direct snow, allowing for quick clearance. For more confined spaces like parking lots, compact skid steers, including a Bobcat S185 and a Case SR270, are used with specialized snow pushers like the Arctic Sectional Snow-Pusher. The operation requires continuous effort, often spanning 'day and night and sometimes day again,' to ensure all lots are perfectly clean. Operators must be mindful of hitting hidden objects, as this can cause costly damage to hydraulic components.
Goal: Effectively clear snow from various areas of commercial properties using different types of plowing equipment and techniques.
