Top 30 Snow Plows for Your Plowing Business

Ryan Pfeifer

By Ryan Pfeifer

Let’s find the perfect match for your truck.

Are you planning to start a snow plow business or already running one? Either way, if you’re looking for a plow, this library will help you find the perfect one for your truck.

We will mention the best snow plows in the market that are worth every cent.

But before we get to our list, let’s first address the question we’re asked most frequently, “should I buy a snow plow?”

 

Do I Even Need A Snow Plow?

Yes, you do because snow plows are ideal for clearing large areas quickly as they can push or carry huge piles of snow — more than any other snow removal equipment.

So without a plow, you cannot land commercial clients. In case you didn’t already know, commercial clients are the ones who pay the most and sign the longest contracts.

Now that we’ve got that cleared up, let’s answer your next question, “which plow should I buy?”

Well, that depends on the area you’re targeting to sell your services. There are three types of plows and they are suitable for three types of snow companies:

  1. Light plows: If you’re planning to plow driveways, then a light plow is good enough.
  2. Heavy plows: If you have big parking lots or other commercial areas to handle, then you will need a heavy plow.
  3. Medium plows: If you have a mixed clientele (commercial and noncommercial), then you should get medium plows that are not ideal, but good enough for small driveways and biggest parking lots.

Light plows are only 6 to 7 feet wide and are made from plastic or other light metals. Whereas, heavy plows are available up to 10 feet wide and are made from heavier metals.

Medium plows are the ones that range between 7 to 8 feet wide and are made from heavier material than light plows, but lighter than heavy plows.

Why I Recommend the Blizzard Power Plow 8100PP

The Blizzard Power Plow 8100PP made my list because it costs significantly less than other snow plows with similar specs and features.

The reason why it’s inexpensive compared to other snow plows with similar specs is because Blizzard isn’t as big a brand as, say, Western or Meyer.
