No two ice removal jobs are the same, and that is why we offer multiple options to meet your specific needs. With a variety of features to back you up in your ice control efforts, confusion may arise regarding which BOSS spreader is right for you. Below is a description of the similarities and key differences between the FORGE and VBX spreaders to assist you in your decision!

Keep your blade in contact with the pavement with D-Force. D-Force improves scraping performance while backdragging by maintaining a consistent hydraulic downforce powered by a hydraulic accumulator. Available as an option on new truck plow purchases, this option allows the user to maintain constant hydraulic down force to improve scraping performance while backdragging. D-Force will be available for all new straight-blade truck plows and 8'2" and 9'2" DXT v-plows (excludes EXT, Trip-Edge, XT, HTX v-plows and Heavy-Duty plows) and will not be retrofittable to existing plows. 

While there are a number of brine mixtures used by the snow and ice industry for use with pre-wet and liquid systems, there are three distinct advantages to equipping your in-bed hopper spreader with pre-wet capabilities. These systems spray the material just before it hits the spinner and before you expend unnecessary time and money. If you need some convincing, take a look at the advantages below. Then get your setup ready, fill with your favorite brine mixture, and get melting!

Whether it is the beginning of a winter season and you need to add equipment to service new contracts or the end of a profitable season and time to replace equipment that took a beating all season long, understanding the financing options available to you is beneficial. Every purchase is unique and every business has different capabilities and needs. Below are several financing options for you to consider. 

If you’re doing research on electric v-box hopper spreaders, you are learning quickly that the two types of material feed systems available are the auger and pintle chain. If you don’t have a lot of experience with these spreader feed systems, you may be having a difficult time selecting which system best fits your snow and ice management needs. BOSS offers a pintle or auger feed system on the VBX and FORGE line of spreaders. There are some key differences between the two feed systems that are important to understand.

To a business owner, keeping the entrance and sidewalk to his or her business clear is necessary and is often included in snow removal contracts. Snow removal contractors need quality equipment in order to fulfill the contract requirements and reduce slip and fall injuries in the winter. Spreading de-icing material is like applying the finishing touch to taking care of snow and ice removal buildup. 

BOSS continued its commitment to the half-ton truck market with the release of the HTX V-plow. Now you can put your half-ton truck or SUV vehicles to use with the HTX V-plow for when Old Man Winter Strikes. Strike back with full plow power in a compact package. 

In the early 1800’s snow shovelers were hired to clear the streets for all snow events. Hundreds of shovelers would parade through the streets, shoveling away, to ensure the streets were cleared for horse and carriages. Now, can you imagine the nastiest, coldest blizzard you’ve ever plowed in and then imagine tackling it with only a shovel? The truck and snowplow changed the snow and ice removal game; however, the shovel continues to play a very real and vital role in any modern snow removal job and should not be dismissed too readily.
