Key advantages of the HLA Snow Pusher Design include:
- Radius back which releases snow instead of letting it stick
- Reinforced & tapered side panels eliminate cross braces that trap snow
- Totally enclosed backdrag option so snow can’t escape. No other pusher has this feature (1500/1800 Series only)!
- Bolt-on quick attach frame for more flexibility over time (JDQA, SSQA, and Yanmar Quick Attach available)
- Reversible, replaceable, and adjustable scraping edges (steel or rubber standard, UHMW upgrade)
- Replaceable, replaceable, and adjustable skid runners (steel standard, UHMW upgrade)
WHEN ORDERING A SNOW PUSHER, THESE ARE THE DECISIONS TO MAKE:
- Series: 1500, 1800, 2500
- Widths (in inches): 72″ and 84″. Not all sizes available in all series
- Backdrag: Yes or No (Note Backdrag comes in black)
- Replaceable edge for main pusher box: steel, rubber, or UHMW. UHMW is cut to length, ready for you to drill out and add your own hardware.
- Edge for backdrag: The backdrag does have an integrated steel edge which is usable. Optional replaceable steel, rubber, and UHMW edges.
- Skid Runners: Steel runners are great for unpaved surfaces like gravel or stone. UHMW runners protect your concrete and paved driveways.
- Assembly: If you select Pre-Assembly all components arrive bolted together with no assembly required by customer. *Always adjust skid shoes for your conditions upon arrival.
*For COMPLETE protection if you are pushing snow on asphalt, concrete, or other delicate surfaces, you will want rubber or UHMW on all contact points including edges and skid runners.
HLA Snow Pusher – Types of Cutting Edge
UHMW: (sometimes called poly or plastic) is best summed up by saying “it cuts like steel, but protects like rubber.” Great wear properties, cuts well through packed snow, very quiet, protective of paved/concrete surfaces. Lasts nearly as long as steel.
Rubber: Protective of paved/concrete surfaces, very quiet, doesn’t cut packed snow at all, shortest life span.
Steel: Wears very well, cuts packed snow very well, but is hard on paved/concrete surfaces, leaves rust stains, and is loud. Great for gravel, stone, and other unpaved surfaces.
***NOTE: UHMW edges are cut to length, ready for you to drill out and add your own hardware.***
UHMW Installation is easy! This material cuts similar to wood, so the same tools can be used. Use the existing holes on the pusher components as your template. Then, drill out with a multipurpose drill bit matching the hole diameter. For backdrags and main edges, use 1/2″ x 3″ bolts with washers and lock nuts. No backer bars required.
