The Western region is no stranger to harsh winters. A lot of snow can cause problems for businesses that depend on roads to transport goods and parking lots to serve customers. When the weather halts business, it can greatly impact a company’s bottom line. Durable and effective snow removal equipment is key to keeping businesses up and running all winter long. Below are a few aspects to consider when deciding which snowplow to buy. 

What to Know Before Buying a Snowplow

1. Consider the Task 

Does your business have a large parking lot? Do you need to keep long stretches of the road open? Your business might also require you to keep loading docks clear around the clock. Whether you go with a standard-grade or a heavy-duty snowplow blade, it should be determined by how many inches of snow you need to remove and from what location. 

2. Choose a V-Plow or Straight Blade

The V-plow is also better at moving frozen snow. Straight blades are more affordable and provide more general service, so they may better serve the needs of smaller businesses with more select budgets.

3. Select a Quality Brand & Dealer
