• We offer single plow operations up to state DOT sized operations.
• Extremely durable material outlasts rubber and cheaper grades of urethane.
• Will not damage roadway markings, reflectors or cobblestone.
• Hard enough to break up packed snow and ice yet soft enough to provide a squeegee clean surface on roads or runways full of slush.
• Available sizes: 6”, 8”, 10”, 12” high x 1”, 1-1/2″ or 2” thick. Standard lengths up to 144″ long; longer lengths and different thicknesses available.
• Available with mounting slots (3/4” x 3-3/8”) or blank (without punches).
• Resists tearing and chunking, produces low frictional forces and reduced drag.
• Polyurethane snow plow blades flex to absorb impacts and ride-over raised road obstacles, such as manhole covers, thereby reducing impact shock to both drivers and plowing equipment.
• Reversible design provides two useable wear edges for double the life.
• Urethane snow plow blade is flexible down to -30° C.
• The Surface Saver Blades produce less friction than rubber blades, allowing higher snow plow speeds.

Plowing airport runways, city streets, and parking lots provides unique challenges to winter maintenance professionals.

The need to keep these surfaces clear of snow and ice must be balanced against the desire to minimize damage to the road surface and raised obstacles such as runway lights, reflectors, and manhole covers. The Surface Saver Snow Plow Blades are stiff enough to break through frozen snow and ice, yet flexible enough to absorb impacts with raised road hazards. Since the blade is helping to absorb the impact forces, plow driver safety is improved and equipment stress is reduced.

The Surface Saver products set the highest standards for performance in the snow removal industry, offering exceptional service life in the harshest conditions.

Designed to combat unnecessary downtime and maintenance, The Surface Savers specially-formulated polyurethane is site-tested to withstand temperatures to -30º below zero and is proven to outlast steel, rubber and plastic alternatives, as well as other polyurethane products in the industry.

The Surface Saver blades have a five times higher abrasion resistance than rubber blades. Using The Surface Saver Blades made from a special formulated compound will reduce labor cost and downtime. Our new compound gives you urethane quality blades at rubber / neoprene pricing.

Polyurethane Cutting Edges

Polyurethane can expand your customer base. Many plowing contracts may specify that steel cutting edges cannot be used. If you limit yourself to only using steel edges you could lose out on potential business. The use of steel edges has the potential to wear down the sealant on driveways and damage landscaping. Because of this, property managers or individuals may require the use of a urethane cutting edge. Adding the polyurethane edge to your plow lineup can expand your customer base.

Polyurethane is quiet. Apartment complexes, hospitals and those on your early morning routes will appreciate the urethane cutting edge as it offers a quieter alternative to its steel counterpart. A polyurethane edge also decreases vibration in the cab as the contact intensity with the ground surface is minimized.

Urethane glides over frozen gravel. If you desire to keep a base layer of snow on a gravel surface, urethane cutting edges will slide over frozen gravel leaving a thin coating of snow on the surface.

Polyurethane performs best with fresh snow or slush. The nature of the polyurethane material allows it to mold to the ground surface. Because of this, it creates a squeegee effect and performance is maximized when plowing fresh snow or slushy conditions.

Urethane reduces obstacle impact. Urethane’s material composition is a type of durable, heavy duty, flexible plastic. In the event you hit a hidden obstacle the urethane acts like an extra cushion with the normal blade trip. That means less impact on you and your equipment.

Polyurethane snowplow blades have been attached to plow trucks and ATV’s for decades to protect delicate surfaces like concrete or curbing while providing some vibration protection and shock resentence to the equipment. Polyurethane snowplow cutting edges are typically made from a urethane bar that is customized to fit any piece of equipment. The latter material guarantees exceptional performance due to its high resistance and elasticity. Universal Urethanes snowplow cutting edge is the ideal solution for moving large quantities of snow or ice and for its durability also at low temperatures. A heavy steel bar is then bolted on top of the urethane bar to provide additional strength. Universal Urethane has a unique ability to tailor our raw material with additives that will enhance wear properties and add lubricity that is resisted to both rust and corrosion damage. Polyurethane is also non-marking with a noticeable noise reduction vs. other similar materials which is ideal for snow removal. We have the ability to reverse engineer existing parts to be able to produce replacement parts often times costing less the OEM equipment with physical properties often times greater than the original blade.

Wear Resistant Urethane Snowplow Cutting Edge

Whether you are a start-up company or global leader, we can add value to your products with our strong engineering support, material selection expertise and constant focus on meeting all delivery requirements. Our rapid prototyping capabilities have also received particularly positive feedback. This capability allows our customers to rapidly develop new products and meet the ever-increasing requirements for speed in the marketplace. 

UHMW vs. Polyurethane

UHMW is softer than polyurethane, the UHMW deforms easier and also has very poor dimensional stability. In fact, UHMW is notorious for thermal expansion issues which depending on the temperature swing can easily expand as much as 1/4″. Polyurethane on the other hand is an “elastomer”. This type of material resists deformation by returning to its original shape (at least 90% within 10 minutes of release of compression) and is more dimensionally stable than UHMW while retaining the beneficial low-wear properties.
