Which attachments do I need for winter road maintenance with a loader?

KOVACO engineeringVeľká Lehota, Slovakia
Quick answer

Three cover most winter work: a blade to push snow (a straight dozer blade or a V blade), a snow blower where the snow has to be thrown aside instead of piled, and a sand and salt spreader for grip afterwards. KOVACO makes all three, plus sweepers and an angle broom for the rest of the year, so one loader serves the roads all year round.

Blade or snow blower

A blade is the fast tool for roads, car parks and yards where snow can be pushed to the side. A V blade breaks through deeper snow and can be set to push to one side or both. A snow blower is for places with no room for piles: pavements, narrow streets, yards between buildings.

The same loader in summer

A sweeper with a collection container picks up dust and grit, the COMBI sweeper and the angle broom clear surfaces quickly, and the ditch cleaner maintains roadside ditches.

For forklifts and tractors too

There is a dozer blade for forklifts, for yards where a forklift already works, and a rear dozer blade for tractors.

Does a snow blower need high oil flow?

It is driven by a hydraulic motor, so it needs more oil flow than a blade. The required flow of each size is in its parameter table and in our overview of hydraulic requirements.
