Sidewalk Tractor Service

What This Service Involves

Sidewalk tractors are purpose-built compact machines that clear the walks, paths, and ADA routes that full-size trucks cannot reach. Equipped with a plow or brush plus a spreader, they clear the heavy wet snow of the Northwest and lay down deicer in one continuous pass. Their maneuverability makes quick work of the long sidewalk networks around apartment complexes, campuses, and commercial parks. Because pedestrian surfaces are where most slip-and-fall claims originate, keeping them cleared and treated protects both people and property owners.
