This new type of snow plow is equipped with a straight main blade and two wings which can be extended and retracted steplessly, powered by two hydraulic cylinders. This gives several different working widths and makes the snow plow very versatile.

 

The plow is also equipped with hinged endplates which can be turned down on the ground. This allows fast and efficient snow collecting. When the endplates are turned up over the blade the plow works as conventional dozer blade and moves snow quickly to the side – and is narrower as well. The endplates are spring-loaded which means they follow the contours of the ground well.  

 

Zoom snow plow requires the optional attachment control switch pack on the loader. Extension and retraction of the wings and turning of the blade are operated with the switches of the switch pack. The wings can be extended one at a time or both at the same time. Indicator lights on the plow show which function is in use. The working width is steplessly adjustable between 1,35 – 2,35 m. The telescoping tubes of the side wings are equipped with maintenance-free tungsten wear pads. There is also a safety bolt for blade release at the top link, however, as the blade is vertical it doesn’t get stuck easily but rather jumps over obstacles.

 

The mounting frame of the zoom snow plow is the same as on the 2000 and 2500 mm dozer blades. It allows a ±10° vertical floating which can be locked if necessary. The plow is also equipped with ±30° hydraulic blade turning. Ice cutting edge as standard equipment.
