Snow Sweeper

The snow sweeper attachment, specifically designed for skid-steer loaders, is a snow removal tool used to quickly clear snow and thin ice from large-area hard surfaces such as roads, parking lots, and airports. It is suitable for municipal, airport, property management, and other scenarios, featuring flexibility, high efficiency, and versatility.

Structural Composition

Key components include:

Rotary Sweeping Disk: Composed of nylon bristles or alloy scrapers, it rotates at high speed (100–500 rpm) to sweep loose snow (less than 10 cm thick) toward the roadside.

Adjustment Mechanism: Uses hydraulic cylinders to control the height (to adapt to road edges) and angle (to adjust snow throwing/pushing direction) of snow removal components.

Connection Frame: Fixes the snow sweeper to the front or side of the skid-steer loader and connects to the hydraulic system to transmit power.

Drive System: Usually hydraulically driven (powered by the loader's oil supply), with some small models using electric motors.

Protective Components: Wear-resistant steel plates, anti-collision buffers, etc., to protect the equipment and guide the flow of snow.

Working Principle

During operation, the operator activates the snow sweeper via the control lever:

Snow Removal: The rotary sweeping disk rotates at high speed to sweep loose snow, or the snow shovel pushes thick snow to the edge; the snow throwing device can project snow to a distance.

Adjustment: Based on snow conditions and terrain, adjust the height of snow removal components, angle (to change snow throwing direction), or swing range (to cover a wider area).

Core Features

Efficient Snow Clearing: Combined with the skid-steer loader's flexibility, it covers a large width in a single operation, with a speed far exceeding manual work.

Multi-Functional: By replacing snow removal components (sweeping disk/shovel/snow thrower), it adapts to different snow conditions such as loose snow, compacted snow, or heavy snowstorms.

Flexible Adjustment: Height and angle are adjustable to avoid damaging road facilities (e.g., curbs, streetlights).

Durable and Reliable: Made of high-strength materials with hydraulic drive, it operates normally in low-temperature environments (-20℃ to -40℃).

Easy Operation: Integrated into the loader's hydraulic system, controlled via regular levers without additional training.

Typical Application Scenarios

Municipal Sanitation: Snow removal on urban roads and sidewalks to ensure traffic and pedestrian safety.

Airport Ground Services: Snow clearing on runways and tarmacs to guarantee flight safety.

Property Communities: Refined snow removal on residential roads and parking lots.

Expressways: Quick snow removal at service areas and toll stations to reduce accident risks.

Industrial Parks: Snow clearing on factory roads to ensure logistics and production.

With its modular design, the skid-steer loader snow sweeper has become an efficient tool for winter snow removal, improving work efficiency, reducing labor costs, and adapting to multi-scenario needs.
