V-Plow Service

What This Service Involves

The V-plow's angled blades open into a point that cuts into deep or drifted snow, making it ideal for breaking through the heavy accumulations Western Washington storms and convergence-zone squalls can leave behind. We configure the blade into a V to bust open packed drifts, then scoop it for carrying and angle it for casting once a path is established. This flexibility lets one machine handle everything from the first breakthrough to final cleanup on a difficult site. It is especially valuable for opening blocked access roads and drive entrances after a heavy event.

Benefits

Pointed blade that penetrates deep drifts and packed snow; Adjustable configuration for breaking, carrying, and casting; Single-machine versatility across a difficult clearing job; Fast reopening of blocked access roads and entrances

Our Process

1) Set the blade to a V to break into deep or packed snow; 2) Open an initial path through the heaviest accumulation; 3) Reconfigure to scoop or angle for efficient clearing; 4) Finish cleanup and treat reopened surfaces

What Affects the Cost

Depth and density of drifted or packed snow; Length of access roads and entrances to reopen; Number of blade reconfigurations per job; Machine time in the toughest accumulation; Treatment needed on reopened pavement

Best Time of Year

V-plow service is most valuable after heavy accumulation and drifting events from December through February.
