What You Need to Know About Choosing the Right Snow Pusher Manufacturer
It may still be August, but the winter season will be here before you know it — and your commercial snow removal business will want to have the best snow pusher boxes at its disposal when it arrives.
This is especially true if your business operates in traditional “snow belt” regions of the U.S. and Canada. Canada alone spends a stunning $1 billion on snow removal each winter; in the U.S., snowstorms result in $2.3 billion in insured losses. The need for top-quality, heavy duty snow plows and pushers is evident when one examines these facts.
Not sure whether your commercial snow removal business is buying from the best snow pusher manufacturers or dealers? Here’s a look at three criteria you should keep in mind while choosing where to purchase your business’ snow pushers:
A guaranteed warranty
Before purchasing any snow box pushers, it’s imperative to ensure each piece of snow removal equipment comes with an extended warranty. A warranty can protect you against any early breakage or defects that take place and ensures that your equipment will be built to last. Snow pusher manufacturers that don’t offer warranties, as a result, likely make sub-par equipment.
Durable, high-quality products
Additionally, the best snow pusher dealers will offer top-of-the-line snow pushers. Whether you’re in the market for steel-edged or rubber-edged pusher boxes, your equipment should be built to last many winters. When just one day of snow-related shutdown in New York City can lead to an astronomical $700 million in total economic costs, the need for equipment that can handle all this snow is clear. An indicator of a quality snow pusher is whether or not the unit is fully welded, uses through-hardened wear shoes, and has a time-tested paint process. One should also consider the impact of how using snow pushers with complicated parts and hydraulics will have on their bottom line in regards to maintenance and down-time.
Year-round availability and unparalleled expertise
With winter seeming to be more unpredictable each passing year, the need for a snow pusher dealer and manufacturer that always has snow pushers and parts in stock is obvious. Snow pusher manufacturers that build product all year round, focus on customer service, and have a large dealer network ensures that your business will receive equipment on time and get the support it needs.
