Snow removal is an important task to deal with snow accumulation in winter, to ensure the safety of road traffic and the normal use of all kinds of places. Common snow removal methods are divided into manual snow removal and mechanical snow removal. But for large areas of roads, squares, airports and other places of snow removal, mechanical snow removal is undoubtedly the best way. Let’s learn more about Snow Removal Equipment : LGMA Wheel Loader Equipment.

Principle of LGMA wheel loader snow removal

Utilizing the loader mechanical equipment to install the attachment, by virtue of the power of the equipment to push forward, the snow will be pushed to the side of the road or the designated stacking area. The attachments are flexibly selected according to the actual snow conditions and operational requirements to achieve better snow removal results.

Snow roller

The loader snow roller mainly consists of two main parts: the loader body and the snow roller. The loader, as the basic equipment for carrying and providing power, has good mobility and maneuverability, and is able to drive flexibly on different sites. The snow plowing roller is installed in the front of the loader, generally connected to it through the hydraulic system or other connecting devices, and its core components include the rotating brush, the power device to drive the rotation of the brush, and the adjustment of the angle and height of the roller brush and other institutions.
The snow roller brush covers a large area and rotates at a faster speed, which can clear the snow on a wide road surface in one operation. Compared with manual sweeping or some small snow removal equipment, it can deal with a large amount of snow in a short period of time, which greatly improves the efficiency of snow removal, and it is especially suitable for the snow removal work on large roads, squares and other places.

Push snow shovel

The loader starts and drives forward, driving the front end of the snow shovel to move forward synchronously, the shovel plate of the snow shovel cuts into the snow, relying on the thrust of the loader to push the snow along the set direction, pushing the snow to the side of the road, the designated stacking area or a place that does not interfere with the traffic and normal use of the road, so as to achieve the purpose of clearing the snow.
Loaders have greater power and higher efficiency, in a large area of roads, squares, airport runways and other places to carry out snow removal operations, can quickly move a large amount of snow, compared with manual snow removal, can cover a large operating range in a short time, greatly improving the speed of snow removal, effectively reducing the impact of snow on traffic and normal activities.

Differences between the two in use scenarios

Thin or fluffy snow: For thin and fluffy snow, the snow plow is usually more effective, the roller brush can easily cut into the snow, and by rotational friction quickly sweeps up the snow and pushes it to the curb and other designated locations; the push shovel can also efficiently move this type of snow, however, the roadway after the snow plow sweeps the snow roller may appear cleaner and tidier, which is more advantageous in the place where the aesthetics are required.
Thick or compacted snow: When the snow is thick or has been compacted by vehicles, the snow plow is more advantageous. It can increase the thrust of the loader, adjust the cutting angle of the shovel plate, etc., to break through the snow and gradually move it to the curb and other places; while the snow roller sweeping this kind of snow will be more difficult, may need to spend more time and energy, and the effect of clearing is sometimes less than ideal, and easy to residual part of the snow in the road surface.

Wheel Loader snow shovel and snow roller in clearing snow have their own characteristics, in the actual snow removal operations, often according to the specific site, snow conditions and snow removal requirements and other comprehensive selection, or with the use of better snow removal effect.
