Frequently Asked Questions About Snow and Cleaning Equipment
What is the difference between a gravity spreader and a chain spreader?
A gravity spreader uses gravity and a control mechanism to distribute abrasives and salt, offering simple and economical distribution for small operations. A chain spreader uses a chain conveyor to bring material to the spreading disc, allowing precise flow control and better suited for large surfaces and intensive municipal operations. Chain spreaders handle wet materials better and offer more uniform distribution.
How do I choose the right snow blower for my snow removal business?
The choice depends on the surface area to clear and jobsite type. For commercial and residential parking lots, a tow-behind or compact tractor-mounted blower is sufficient. For municipal roads and large areas, opt for a high-capacity truck-mounted or self-propelled blower. Consider cutting width (typically 60 to 120 inches), throwing capacity, and mounting type compatible with your existing vehicles.
What spreader capacity should I choose for my operations?
Capacity depends on the area to cover and acceptable refilling frequency. For small roads and parking lots (less than 50,000 m²), a 1 to 2 cubic yard spreader is sufficient. Medium municipal operations require 3 to 5 cubic yards. Large municipalities with main roads require spreaders of 7 to 10 cubic yards or more to minimize refill stops during storms.
Can a street sweeper be used year-round?
Yes, street sweepers are versatile equipment usable in all seasons. In spring, they collect residual sand and abrasives from winter snow removal. In summer and fall, they maintain cleanliness of roads, parking lots, and industrial areas by collecting dust, leaves, and debris. Some models offer watering options to control dust. The investment in a street sweeper pays off through year-round use.
How do I maintain my snow removal equipment during the off-season?
Off-season maintenance is crucial: thoroughly clean equipment to remove corrosive salt and abrasives, drain fluids or add stabilizers, grease all lubrication points, inspect and replace worn parts (belts, blades, spreading discs), check hydraulic and electrical systems, apply rust treatment, and store in a dry, covered location. Perform a complete overhaul before the next season.
How do I sell my snow removal or cleaning equipment on Publiquip?
To sell your equipment on Publiquip, create a detailed listing including the type (spreader, blower, street sweeper, washer), brand and model, year, hours of use or seasons of operation, capacity, general condition, maintenance history, and mounting type (truck, tractor, self-propelled).
