Features of a Heavy Duty Snowplow

Designed for winter road maintenance, this heavy work truck is equipped with a wide steel blade mounted on the front bumper to push snow off driving lanes. The elevated driver cabin gives operators a clear view over the plow blade and road ahead. Large deep-tread tires provide traction when operating on slippery snow and icy highway surfaces.

Clearing Winter Roads and Highways

Snowplows operate during heavy winter storms to keep transportation routes open and safe for public traffic. The heavy front blade can be angled left or right to push accumulated snow toward the side of the road or highway shoulder. Many municipal snowplow trucks also spread sand or salt from a rear hopper to melt ice and create tire traction on frozen pavement.

Standard Colors of a Snowplow Truck

  • Truck cab and body: high-visibility orange or yellow
  • Snowplow front blade: dark steel gray or metallic silver
  • Heavy-duty tires: deep rubber black
  • Cabin glass windows: light blue tint or clear transparent gray
