The ROOT Model F-5 and F-55 snowblades are high-speed snow removal units designed by the pioneer in underbody scraper manufacturing.
The snowblades have 20" heat-treated moldboards that can be used for most of your snow removal. There are no shoes or wheels to wear out and no lost time for plow hook-up.
Both units operate safely over crosswalks, manholes, utility boxes, etc. due to the spring-floated hydraulic cylinders.
Why ROOT is your best bet ...
- Plows snow up to 10" in depth
- Large 20" heat treated high carbon moldboard
- Moves with traffic at higher speeds
- Hydraulic down pressure
- Cuts down on driveway plugging
- Large patented safety spring trip mechanism for operation over manholes, crosswalks, catch basins and even railroad tracks
- Easy to install and simple to remove in the spring
- No operator training necessary
