Increasing Productivity and Promoting Safety with Blades that Last

The recommended speed will vary based on the condition of the roads. Concrete / asphalt highway roads can support up to 45 mph, while asphalt city streets should be plowed around 10-15 mph. Chip seal and gravel roads can vary, but typically the slower the plow goes, the less road damage.

These are blade properties that affect the performance of the blade. They are both equally effective given the application.

An aggressive blade has more of a cutting effect. These blades are designed to limit the amount of surface area coming into direct contact with the road. They are best for ice and snowpack when the goal is to clear as much snow and ice with the blade as opposed to melting snow with salt or brine.

A road friendly blade is designed to increase the footprint the blade makes on the road. The increased surface area on the road helps to extend the wear life of the blade. It also allows the blade to “glide” instead of “cut” which helps to reduce road damage, and to avoid obstructions like manhole covers and bridge joints.

No. Stover lock nuts are designed to crimp the threads of the bolt to reduce the likelihood of a hardware failure. As a result, our hardware is one-time use.

No. However, for our interlocking sections it can sometimes be easier to install them from one side to the other to help line up the tabs.
