Snowplow truck featuring latest technology


The snowplow truck featured in this link was built by Truck & Trailer Specialties in Dutton, MI. for Macomb County, Michigan.  This truck features teh latest technological options for snow removal on public thoroughfares.  It can respond to various types of winter weather conditions.  It is equipped with granular application capabilities with on-board prewet system, anti-ice application capability, salt grinder to grind salt into fine gradation for faster and more complete mixing with chlorides to melt snow & ice much quicker at slightly higher ambient temperatures on multi-lane roadways.  It uses a pneumatic single joystick controller and the new touch screen Bosch Rexroth controller for all salt and liquid applications.  The truck is equipped with underbody scraper blade and wing plow allowing it to remove fifteen foot swath of snow in every pass.
