SNOWPLOW TRIP MECHANISMS

TRIP EDGE, FULL TRIP, & DUAL TRIP.

WHAT MAKES UP A TRIP EDGE PLOW?

Tripping systems give you peace of mind so that you and your equipment bear less impact in the event that you hit any obstructions. Blade tripping is defined as the rotational movement of an element of the snowplow blade system in reaction to impacting an obstacle. The purpose of a blade tripping system is to protect the snowplow and vehicle in the event of excessive force that could damage the snowplow or truck. The trip edge acts as a cushion and absorbs impact before it can get to the vehicle or you, the operator.

PRESSURE RELIEF VALVES

pressure relief valves use hydraulic cylinders to absorb some of the energy produced by the impact. Combined with a tripping mechanism provides substantial protection
during snow removal.

TRIPPING MOLDBOARDS

tripping moldboards help the entire blade to trip forward when obstacles are encountered to protect the truck and plow from damage. V-plows are designed with full moldboard tripping technology, designed to trip in any position.

TRIPPING CUTTING EDGES

High-performance BOSS plows need genuine BOSS cutting edges with trip edge technology. BOSS replacement cutting edges use extremely tough material to provide maximum
performance when you need it most.

TRIP EDGE PLOWS

Much like all other tripping systems, the trip-edge helps reduce the impact on your plow if you hit anything smaller than 6-inches high.
Some of these instances may include but are not limited to manhole covers, large cracks in pavement, and speed bumps.

BASE ANGLE

As the base angle of the trip-edge hits any hidden obstructions, the edge of the plow trips to “give way” to the object. Taking any additional force off the entire plow.

CUSTOMIZABLE TENSION

Trip edge plows feature steel return springs for pickup truck applications. The tension on these springs can be customized for
any job at hand.

EXTRA RIGID MOLDBOARD

The trip-edge technology is designed and engineered to power through even the toughest of snowstorms and any obstacles you may encounter. Featuring an extra-rigid moldboard and trip edge technology, so you won’t lose the load
you’re pushing.

ENTIRE MOLBOARD TRIP DESIGN

take on the snow.

PROTECTION FROM OBSTACLES

The dual trip design protects you from obstacles like manhole covers to frozen snowbanks. Giving double the protection from threats with both trip edges combined to one.
