ice edge scraper blades
ice edge snow plow blades
Plowing airport runways, city streets, and parking lots provides unique challenges to winter maintenance professionals. The need to keep these surfaces clear of snow and ice must be balanced against minimizing damage to the road surface and raised obstacles such as runway lights, reflectors, curbs, and manhole covers.
Ice Edge Scraper Blades are stiff enough to break through frozen snow and ice, yet flexible enough to absorb impacts with raised road hazards. Since the snow plow blade is helping to absorb the impact forces, plow driver safety is improved and equipment stress is reduced. It’s easy to see that Ice Edge Scraper Blades can help handle winter’s worst.
Ice Edge Scraper Blades from Western Polymers outlast and outperform the competition. Whether managing tight snow removal time lines or struggling to turn a profit in a competitive market, Ice Edge products have been designed and engineered for durability to save companies from costly downtime and budget overruns.
PRODUCT DATA
- Polyurethane scraper blades/snowplow blades eliminate metal shavings that are encountered when using metal cutting edges.
- Resists tearing and chunking, produces low frictional forces and reduced drag. FAA (US) regulators strongly suggest airport snowplows be equipped with urethane cutting edges
- Polyurethane blades are hard enough to break up packed snow and ice yet soft enough to provide a squeegee clean surface on roads or runways full of slush.
RESILIANT
Polyurethane is resilient, so it absorbs impacts and conforms to the surface being plowed rather than damaging the plowing surface. Polyurethane is the ideal choice for use on concrete, parking garages, brick, pavers, cobblestone, or any other uneven surface.
REDUCE DRIVER FATIGUE
Polyurethane cutting edges/snowplow blades reduce driver fatigue and equipment wear by minimizing blade and equipment vibration.
QUIET IN OPERATION
Polyurethane cutting edges/scraper blades are very quiet in operation, making them ideal for use in residential areas and hospital parking lots.
SAVE MONEY
Polyurethane cutting edges can save money in the long run. Polyurethane cutting edges are less likely to rip out or damage submerged lighting and pavement markings. Polyurethane blades can last 7X longer than steel blades.
Widely popular with airport operators for more than a decade, Polyurethane Snow Plow Blades have been gaining acceptance in the snow removal industry as an alternative to steel, polyethylene and rubber edges. Polyurethane scraper blades offer several performance advantages over their counterparts, and can offer substantial benefits to those in the snow removal industry.
