Discover the Benefits of Tripping Systems

BOSS tripping systems give you peace of mind by reducing the impact on you and your equipment when you hit obstructions. Blade tripping allows the snowplow blade to rotate when it strikes an obstacle, cushioning the blow. This protects both the snowplow and the vehicle from damage. The trip edge absorbs the impact before it can reach the vehicle or you, the operator. Explore the essential elements that make up an effective tripping system below.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

Pressure relief valves use hydraulic cylinders to absorb the energy from impacts. Combined with a tripping mechanism, they provide substantial protection during snow removal.

TRIPPING MOLDBOARDS

Tripping moldboards ensure the entire blade moves forward upon encountering obstacles, protecting the truck and plow from damage. V-plows feature advanced moldboard tripping technology designed to trip in any position for enhanced versatility and safety.

TRIPPING CUTTING EDGES

BOSS's high-performance plows utilize genuine BOSS cutting edges equipped with trip-edge technology. BOSS replacement cutting edges are crafted from durable materials, ensuring maximum performance precisely when it's needed most.

TRIP-EDGE PLOWS

The trip-edge, like other tripping systems, minimizes impact on your plow when encountering obstacles under 6 inches high. These can include manhole covers, large pavement cracks, and speed bumps, among others.

High Strength Trip-Edge

The base angle of the trip-edge ensures that when it encounters hidden obstructions, the plow's edge trips to yield to the object, reducing additional force on the entire plow.
