Product Description
Snow Bucket with Wings (also known as a Snow Bucket with Extendable Flaps), a specialized attachment for loaders engineered to maximize snow-clearing efficiency. It features a robust black steel structure, hydraulically operated side wings (flaps) that extend the bucket’s width, and a spacious main bucket body. This design allows operators to scoop, transport, and discharge snow over significantly wider areas in a single pass, making it a powerful tool for large-scale winter maintenance.
Application Fields
1. Municipal Road & Infrastructure Maintenance
Municipal authorities deploy this attachment to clear wide roads, highways, and public plazas efficiently. The extendable wings can widen the bucket’s working width by several meters, enabling a single loader to clear multiple lanes of snow in one pass. For example, on a multi-lane urban highway, the winged snow bucket can clear snow from two or three lanes simultaneously, reducing the number of machines and time needed to restore traffic flow after a snowstorm. It also excels in clearing snow from airport runways, where wide coverage and precision are critical for aviation safety.
2. Large-Scale Commercial & Industrial Sites
Shopping malls, logistics parks, and manufacturing facilities rely on the winged snow bucket to maintain accessibility. In a sprawling distribution center with expansive parking lots and truck yards, the extendable wings allow the bucket to clear snow from large areas quickly, ensuring that delivery trucks and forklifts can operate without interruption. For industrial plants with extensive outdoor storage or operational areas, the attachment keeps pathways clear, preventing delays in production and material handling.
3. Residential Community & Urban Landscaping
In residential areas with wide streets or communal parks, the winged snow bucket efficiently clears snow from broad surfaces. Homeowner associations use it to maintain neighborhood roads, playgrounds, and recreational areas, ensuring residents have safe access. In urban landscaping projects, such as clearing snow from city parks or botanical gardens, the wings can be adjusted to avoid damaging delicate landscapes while still covering large areas.
4. Specialty Winter Operations
For tasks like clearing snow from sports fields (e.g., football or soccer pitches) or large event venues, the winged snow bucket provides precise and wide coverage. It can quickly restore these spaces to usability after snowfall, supporting community activities and sports events even in winter.
Product Features
1. Hydraulically Extendable Wings
The side wings are controlled by hydraulic cylinders, allowing operators to adjust the bucket’s width on-the-fly. This flexibility enables适配 (adaptation) to different job requirements—narrowing the wings for tight spaces (e.g., residential alleys) and extending them for wide-open areas (e.g., highways). The hydraulic system ensures smooth, precise movement of the wings, even under heavy snow loads.
2. High-Capacity Snow Handling
The main bucket body retains a large volumetric capacity, enabling it to hold and transport massive amounts of snow in each pass. Combined with the extended wings, this design drastically reduces the number of cycles needed to clear an area, significantly boosting operational efficiency.
3. Robust & Wear-Resistant Construction
Constructed from abrasion-resistant steel, the bucket and wings withstand the abrasive nature of snow, ice, and road debris. Reinforced welds and thickened steel plates at stress points (e.g., wing hinges, bucket edges) ensure durability, even with continuous use in harsh winter conditions.
4. Universal Quick-Attach Compatibility
Equipped with industry-standard quick-attach interfaces, the winged snow bucket is compatible with a wide range of loader models. This versatility allows fleet managers to deploy the attachment across multiple machines, adapting to projects of varying scales without costly modifications.
5. Enhanced Operational Visibility
Ventilated panels and strategic design elements provide operators with clear visibility of the bucket’s contents and the surrounding environment. This is crucial for precise snow placement and avoiding obstacles, especially when operating with extended wings in congested or complex environments.
In summary, the Snow Bucket with Wings is a game-changing attachment for winter maintenance, offering unmatched efficiency through its extendable width and high-capacity design. Its applications span municipal, commercial, residential, and specialty sectors, where wide-area snow clearance is essential. With hydraulic adjustability, robust construction, and universal compatibility, it delivers reliable performance, ensuring that roads, facilities, and public spaces remain safe and accessible even in the heaviest snowfall.
