Best Machines for Snow Removal

A high-performing skid steer loader is one of the most popular machines for snow removal — and for good reason. This type of machine is flexible, allowing you to maneuver through tight spaces. With the right attachments, a skid steer rental will allow you to clear heavy snow in no time.

There are a few different kinds of skid steer loaders available. A traditional skid steer has rubber wheels, while other models are produced with tracks. If you decide to go with a tracked skid steer loader, make sure that the tracks have decent tread that will give it enough traction to move through snow effectively. A wheeled skid steer is a safer bet when it comes to snow removal.

Best Heavy Equipment Attachments for Snow Removal

Renting a machine for snow removal is a great start, but it will only get you so far. Consider renting some attachments to power through the job more effectively. 

Skid Steer Attachment Rentals

If you decide to go with a skid steer rental, there are a few attachments that will make the job easier:

• Snow Blower: Whether you're dealing with light or heavy snow, a snow blower attachment is probably the best skid steer attachment rental you can get. Snow blowers can lift snow without causing damage to the ground underneath. A snow blower will also make the snow more compact so that it can be relocated in a smaller space.
• Snow Bucket: This attachment is easy to use and effective for moving large quantities of light snow. Snow buckets work best in large areas with even ground. But if you're using a snow bucket, be careful to avoid damaging the surface you're working on, since the edge of the bucket is made of hard steel.
• V-Blades: V-blades can clear a large area efficiently, like a parking lot.

Rent the Equipment You Need, When You Need It

Snow removal equipment can be bulky and requires a certain amount of maintenance. It doesn't make sense for most homeowners and contractors to invest that much in owning equipment that's only needed a few times a year. Fortunately, you can save yourself a headache by renting the equipment you need.
