Equipment inefficiencies could put a major wrench in daily operations for your snow removal business, which is why it’s important to replace damaged or worn gear long before winter arrives. When searching for upgrades, many snow plow operators enjoy the durability and ease of handling Meyer® snow plows provide. To determine what solutions are best suited for your business needs, below is a brief guide to the major differences between the manufacturer’s straight blade and V-plow products.   

Meyer Snow Plows With Straight Blades Clear Snow in One Direction

If you need to clear a client’s residential driveway after heavy snowfall, use a Meyer snow plow with a straight blade to complete the job. The attachment fits securely on light and larger pickup trucks to navigate narrow passageways. Straight blade sizes vary, which makes it possible to move large piles of snow without equipment buckling under the pressure. The equipment pushes snow in one direction, but free-standing jacks allow the operator to adjust blade height to completely clear uneven surfaces. The blades are steel, which means they are resistant to corrosion and will last for several winters to come.

Meyer V-Plows Are Versatile for a Variety of Jobs

The shape of the blade is what sets V-plows apart from straight blade alternatives. The blade is positioned at an angle to form the shape of the letter “V” or two wings. Because the blades are positioned at an angle, they push snow outward instead of forward. This scoop position could make it possible to save time on snow removal jobs. The products are also made of steel to prevent damage during heavy-duty jobs. Many models can also be adjusted to connect the two wings to use as a straight blade when needed.
