Quality UK manufactured Forklift Snow Plough - Rubber Blade fitted as standard - The blade will act as a buffer that protects the frame of the snow plough. The FMP R forklift snow plough with a replaceable rubber blade is manufactured with the snow scope angled to clear snow to the left, ideal for clearing snow from car parks, schools, roads and farm yards.
It is a good idea to purchase the snow plough with a rubber blade if the surface to be cleared is rough or uneven ground, cobbled areas and in areas that might have raised objects such as drains etc. The Rubber blade is manufactured from hard rubber and is 20mm thick - Spare blades can be bought on request.
How best to use a forklift-mounted Snow Plough - The FMPR Fork Mounted snow Plough should be pushed along utilising either the steel or rubber blade wear strip (depending on the model purchased). the blade should be "just" in contact with the surface to be cleared of snow.
