Plow / Spreader Trucks News, Videos, and Information

There are many types of equipment used for snow removal, but perhaps one of the most common is the plow truck.

Typically large dump trucks, plow trucks are fitted with a large blade on the front while the truck body is filled with sand, salt, ash, or some combination. Other types of equipment, including front-end loaders, pick-up trucks and all-terrain vehicles also can be used to clear snow, if they have the appropriate plow truck accessories installed.

You can find new and used plow / spreader trucks for sale from the leading equipment manufacturers right here.
