Each year, BOSS Snowplow presents its latest innovations at North America's premier work truck event, the NTEA Work Truck Show. This year's event, held from March 6th to 8th at the Indiana Convention Center, showcased a plethora of cutting-edge equipment, products, and technologies. Here's a roundup of what you may have missed!
Marking a New Era in Spreader Technology
The VBX+ represents a significant leap forward in spreader technology for BOSS. Building on the success of our existing VBX spreader line, the VBX+ incorporates several groundbreaking features:
Smart Features: Contractors can now enhance profitability through unprecedented material measurement and control management capabilities. Operators can precisely set spread width and flow rate with standard rate control, ensuring controlled material distribution. Additionally, the VBX+ allows tracking of materials used on each job site for customer billing, proof of service, and material supply planning.
Easy Maintenance Drive Train: Say goodbye to frequent greasing! The VBX+ features an auger poly bearing that eliminates the need for greasing, reducing maintenance hassles. Moreover, the redesigned strike plate with wiper prevents leaking salt, minimizing waste and truck bed contamination.
Enhanced Power and Lighting: Electric motors significantly boost power, improving performance by 50% on the feeder system and 80% on the spinner. The upgraded LED lighting, including CHMSL (brake lights), work lights, and strobe lights with selectable patterns, ensures better visibility and safety during operation.
Improved Ease of Use: With enhancements such as spinner chute/disk improvements, Carling switches, and a new e-stop button, the VBX+ offers smoother operation, improved flow, and enhanced safety.
Your Entry-Level Sidewalk Clearing Solution
The Snowrator Scout is the latest addition to the Snowrator lineup, designed for efficiently clearing narrow sidewalks and complex entryways. Here's what you need to know:
Compact Design: With a width of just 34 inches and a 4’ fully hydraulic straight blade with float and D-force, the SR Scout offers exceptional maneuverability in small areas, making it perfect for tight spaces.
High Performance: Despite its small size, the SR Scout boasts a ground speed of 6 mph, ensuring faster transfer between plow areas. Its four-wheel hydraulic skid steer allows nimble turning, enhancing operational efficiency.
Ease of Maintenance: Accessing service areas is a breeze with the SR Scout, ensuring minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
Durable Construction: Engineered for durability, the SR Scout features a mild steel chassis, making it strong enough to tackle heavy snow while offering best-in-class ergonomics for operator comfort.
The Latest Addition to the HTX Family
Expanding our popular HTX family, BOSS introduces the 7'6" and 8’ HTX-V Stainless Steel Plows, designed for half-ton truck applications. Here's why they stand out:
Stainless Steel Construction: Crafted from high-quality, rust-resistant stainless steel, the HTX-V ensures easier maintenance and long-lasting performance, even in harsh conditions.
Enhanced Design: The HTX-V's flared blade wings and enhanced curl design enable it to throw snow higher and farther than conventional plows. The full moldboard trip design helps prevent plow damage when encountering obstacles.
