Winter is Coming! Hilltip Introduces the SnowStriker Snow Remover for Tractors, Loaders and Skid Steers
Hilltip introduces the SnowStriker SFT Flex expandable box plow, a versatile snow removal solution designed for tractors, loaders and skid steers from 1 to 4 tons. The new plow combines the containment and productivity of a box plow with hydraulically extendable sections that allow operators to adapt the clearing width to changing conditions and applications on the go.
The SFT Flex is available in three sizes. The smallest provides an adjustable clearing width from 4 feet, 3 inches to 6 feet, 11 inches. The mid-range model adjusts from 4 feet, 11 inches to 8 feet, 2 inches. The largest model ranges from 5 feet, 11 inches to 9 feet, 6 inches. This flexibility allows operators to narrow the plow for tighter spaces or expand it for more productive clearing of larger driveways, yards and open parking areas.
The blade is designed to tilt and oscillate as it moves over uneven ground, helping maintain contact with the surface for a cleaner scrape. For added versatility, the hydraulically actuated side plates of the SFT Flex can be independently folded, allowing the unit to act as a conventional straight-blade plow, rolling snow to either side. Relief valves allow the side plates to trip if an obstacle is hit to help prevent damage to the attachment.
Steel, ice-cutting, and polyurethane cutting-edge options are available to accommodate various applications. Other options include LED edge markers, custom mountings, a 12V/24V electric valve, a plow shoe kit, a four-line hydraulic system and high-visibility orange paint.
The SFT Flex is made from high-strength, powder-coated steel for high durability, while remaining lighter weight. The three models weigh 816 (model 13-21 SFT), 1,080 (model 15-25 SFT) and 1,190 pounds (model 18-29 SFT), making them compatible with a wide range of equipment.
“Compared with other box plows, the SFT Flex offers unmatched versatility for use in a wider range of winter maintenance applications,” said Craig Sandmann, managing director for Hilltip North America. “Nothing else offers the same level of efficiency and precision with every pass.”
The SFT Flex is backed by a two-year warranty.
