You can manage your own snow removal with fork mounted snow plow blades.  These innovative, multi-functional, and ergonomic devices free you from dependence on municipally coordinated, daily snow removal.  Additionally, they allow you to reach certain portions of your property that larger snow plows may not be able to easily access.  By investing in these forklift attachments now, you can give your facility the best means of preventing mission critical downtime this winter during those inevitable times of severe, inclement weather.

It is easy to install these fork truck extensions.  Like most extensions, they are built with fork pockets on the rear of the assembly.Fork tines slide into these pockets and a plow attaching chain then wraps around the fork carriage to keep the assembly stable.  (For maximum stability, you can also invest in a counterweight that is sold separately).  Once the attachment is secured, you never have to leave your seat to adjust or operate your fork mounted snow plow blades.  The assembly is equipped with a rotating board and pivot shear pin that allows you to manipulate the angle of the blade from a seated position.  If you hit an obstacle, or if you are working on uneven terrain, trip springs allow the blade to glide over these obstructions without being damaged, and without slowing you down.

In addition to plowing snow, the attachment also has the ability to grade and back grade areas.  This makes this forklift attachment truly multifunctional in application.  You can use it to clear roadways leading to and from your docks, grade areas around your docks, and keep outdoor storage areas clear of snow so materials that may be threatened by extreme temperatures can be quickly accessed and moved back into the warehouse or onto cargo trucks for quick shipment.

The best thing about fork mounted snow plow blades is they can be used as many times in a day as you can spare a single fork truck and fork truck operator to maneuver them.  Daily snow clearing teams come by once, maybe twice a day.  If snow continues throughout the day intermittently, you can clear your property of snow banks as often as you wish with your own existing equipment and staff.
