Sectional Sno-Pusher, a division of Arctic Snow and Ice Products in Bradley, IL, offers three lines of unique snow pushers: the HD, LD and CD models. Each line is compatible with wheel loaders, backhoes, skid steers, compact loaders and tractors. Incorporating several unique features, these Sectional pushers are designed to increase snow removal efficiency and reduce fuel costs.
The patented steel moldboard design is made of 32-, 30- and 24-inch-wide individual sections depending on the model, each featuring spring-loaded trip edges. The exclusive moldboard design combines the precision of a small plow with the capacity of a large pusher.
The separate sections move independently of one another, allowing the unit to contour to the surface and scrape snow and ice out of dips and recessions, all while moving over raised objects. This enhances plowing efficiency and protects operators from impact injuries and minimizes property damage.
Each moldboard section features an AR-400 hardened-steel trip cutting edge, designed to scrape snow and ice down to the pavement. In addition to removing compacted ice and snow, the cutting edge's sectional design is also more economical. On a typical one-piece moldboard plow or pusher, the entire cutting edge must be replaced when damaged. In the event that a Sectional Sno-Pusher's cutting edge is damaged, only the individual section needs to be replaced.
Better traction, fewer missed areas. The pusher operates independently of the machine and automatically adjusts to the pavement grade, resulting in fewer missed areas and less follow-up plowing. Additionally, the patented Slip Hitch ensures all four tires remain on the pavement at all times. As a result, the machine is able to achieve full traction, and eliminate drag and loss of horsepower.
According to Steve Sepaniak, Arctic’s director of sales and marketing, “Our customers have reported salt savings as high as 50% and fuel savings exceeding 30%, easily outperforming any other pusher on the market today. And designed for equipment weighing 5,000 to 60,000 pounds, the Sectional pushers are available to accommodate all your snow removal needs.”
