There are lots of different pieces of equipment that is designed to get rid of snow. For the home there are snow shovels, brooms and gasoline powered snow blowers. For commercial and municipal use there are huge plows and blowers fitted to on-road trucks, usually the trucks carry full loads of grit as well. In difficult situations, large pieces of earth moving equipment are drafted in to remove the snow. In a lot of cases the vehicles that are used in the winter for snow plowing in Silverthorne CO revert to street maintenance vehicles once the plows and other equipment are removed during the summer months.
Of all the various equipment that is available, the most common is the truck plow. These vehicles are usually dump trucks that have a large snow blade on the front, often with huge wing plows off to the side. As these are dump trucks, a rotary spreading device is fit to the rear of the vehicle; this casts a mixture of salt and sand on the surface that has just been plowed. In areas of the country that see significant snow fall they employ trucks with a huge V shaped plow; when fitted to a powerful truck these plows can open up areas which then can be attached by more conventional plows.
In the areas that get great amounts of snow, as well as the V plow, they employ huge snow blowers. These machines use a huge rotary auger which is often fitted to tracked vehicles and even military equipment. These machines can attack very deep snow and snow drifts that would be impossible to move with a conventional plow. Rather than push the snow to the side of the road as most plows do, these snow blowers send the snow well off the road. By throwing the snow well off the road it leaves room for conventional snow plowing in Silverthorne CO to take place as the winter season progresses.
