Snow Plow Motors

Electric Motors for Snow Plows and Salt Spreaders

If you’re thinking about becoming an independent contractor in the seasonal snow and ice management field, you’re going to need a few pieces of equipment. Obviously, you’re going to need a vehicle; maybe a tractor or a full-size heavy-duty capacity pickup with high horsepower and torque so that can handle the wear and tear of plow service. Then, you’re going to want to fit that truck with the appropriate plow mechanism and armatures, along with all of the necessary hazard lights and flashers. You might even want to add a salt tumbler and spreader to maximize your efficiency. So now you’ve gone through the trouble of purchasing the absolute best components to convert your truck into a formidable Winter weather combat machine, how does it all work? What’s the difference between a snow plow and a pickup truck with some impressive-looking aftermarket attachments hanging off of it? That would be the plow motor. The plow motor is the heart of the whole operation; it controls the up/down motion of the plow lift which, in turn, allows for street snow to be relocated in different directions instead of only straight ahead. In order to choose the appropriate plow motor to best suit your application, you need to take into consideration the type of workload your plow will regularly be seeing as well as the size, weight, and dimensions of the plow armature itself. Too weak of a motor and it could fry itself out and render your plow virtually useless.

We cover motor units that are compatible with the top-selling plow manufacturers including Blizzard, Fisher, Western, Leeson, as well as for electric-powered salt spreaders from Canimex, SnowDogg and SaltDogg, Meyer, Boss, and more famous manufacturers.
